My apartment is much like my wardrobe--filled with vintage selections all carefully hand-picked and edited regularly. I seldom buy new clothes and I seldom buy new stuff for my house. Color wise? Y...
My scented candle of choice is one votive--black rose sold in Chicago at a hippie type candle emporium called Wax Man. (It's rose/floral, but not old lady or barfy.) They're cheap and the scent alw...
I used to have so many pillows in my living room. I collected vintage souvenir pillows for a long time. I put them all away and now feel better about having people over. They have a place to sit a...
The good news is that the basement is available. It sounds as if you don't have to lock them--another bonus.
I live in a building with at least 35 bikes (3 of them are mine) in the ba...
I bought a frame from this place. I have not put it together, but it was very inexpensive and plain which is what I wanted.

Yes! Chenille bedspreads are lovely. A vintage one could be found on eBay anytime. I remember one that my grandmother had that shed. That was bad, but it seemed like it was just that one. The rest ...
You had me hooked when you described your place as "eclectic mid-century farmhouse." It's the perfect way to describe it. Your place looks like a Joseph Cornell box come to life.

It makes me wonder if the people who wish to have this "feel" in their home ever...
I agree that you can certainly do a lot with colorful accessories, beige and white. Would that I could, I'd live in an all white majorly windowed box with perfectly appointed (colorful things) arou...
I think there are some tremendous entries in the contest and I do think there are certainly worthy contenders. As an entrant, I'm just happy I wasn't too shy to do it! Participating in the contest ...
My apartment wanted me to ask your house if she's interested in a girl's night out sometime. We'll buy the first round of Gin Rickeys!
Sandi, you should be so proud of curating such a...
As a person who LOVES 50s stuff, I think this has potential. I'd be so tempted to go with that big eyed fish plaster stuff from that time period. Those fish often came in blue, too! Or, I'd really ...
This is really inspiring! It's definitely an apartment that's after my own heart. Thanks for sharing your colorful world.
Where did you get the pink chandelier from? I need that in my...
Hey...wait a minute! I didn't even know you were entering. Your place looks great. Folks--this place has the mostly lovely lavender walls ever. It's too bad you can't see down their hallway becaus...

Do not like. I immediately knew what it was, too. Maybe it's better when you're surprised by the materials.
