Dear Jeni,

How can I make my house look and feel like a home when my other half isn't interested in helping with any of it?

Dear Ms. Stewart,

Simply banish your other half to some inconspicuous place such as the basement, attic, garage, toolshed, or extra bedroom. Then get thee to a rummage sale, purchase some vintage dresses, sew them together in a creative fashion, and drape the material across the aperture to the distasteful abode of your husband for a shabby chic look that is all the rage.
