“I am addicted to this site”

I am addicted to this site. The home tours are my favorite because you get to see so many styles of decorating. Lot's of great resources, good deals, trends and DIY ideas. Every Friday they prepare a list of local sales (in their 6 specialty areas).

“Who Is Managing This Site?”

Alexis K.
1/9/23

I have been selling on this platform for approximately nine months; however, I have not received a valid sale as of yet. I had received two sale requests and accepted both; however, no payments were submitted by either buyers. This situation is exceptionally questionable to me since I'm not sure if both buyers were trolls (one account looked fake and the other had the buyer's info) or it was an attempt on Bazaar to make it appear as though I'm receiving sales. When I attempted to contact the buyers, the request was denied. I have emailed Bazaar of this matter several days ago; however, I have yet to get my concern addressed. What is the point of building a platform is you're not going to monitor it and provide assistance to the people (buyers and sellers) who are going to support your platform and make you money. One of the reviews noted, "It is like someone built the site and then left the universe," this perception is accurate. The website/platform is one of the snail race situation. Don't even attempt to download the app. Essentially, it is indeed a wast of time.

While I didn't dislike the book with quite the venom of other reviewers, I do understand their frustrations. I did find the tone a little off-putting, but I decided to put those feeling aside and see if the book had anything useful to offer.

It does and it doesn't. Like many design/decorating book it suffers from a lack of realistic understanding of its audience. Let's face it, anyone seeking design advice and is only ponying up 14 bucks, probably isn't the same kind of person who would spend 3000. 00 on a couch.

Living in an apartment can be a challenge to make it look good and impressive your friends and dates. Thanks to a user here on SJ I found this website and it has quite a few good ideas on design. Really pretty fun and I think I'm going to redecorate and submit my apt to this site.

I looked at this website as a way to get ideas for an apartment that's less than 300 square feet. Unfortunately it doesn't help so much with that - rather it's about making over apartments - turning nice ones into NoICE ones (not sure how to spell that the way I'm saying it). Still pretty addicting and small ideas can be taken from it here and there...

I guess what I was looking for was something realistic. Like pictures and ideas for real apartments that you can't paint the walls in or add wallpaper or build a cabinet or a shelf anywhere you please.

It's a nice site, it helps with finding things you had no idea to do with your space and ideas. I love the do it yourself section (mainly because I'm a Pinterest addict) but it's not exactly what I was looking for. I'll keep this website in mind for when I have no idea how to turn my living room into a bigger looking room by adding a mirror or how to even decorate a mirror to make my living room look better. But I'll continue to be in search of how to decorate a small apartment that I can't paint.

I stopped reading articles from Apartment Therapy on Apple News. Quitting those "life changing" articles was, well, LIFE CHANGING!
