What I Love About My Home


I love everything about it... Our view, fireplace and sun room are my favorites! The ocean is so calming and serene, we installed the Eames era fireplace ourselves, and unfortunately our sun room has turned into the puppy-training area, but it is lovely to me anyway.

Biggest Challenge in Furnishing My Home


Hands down, our budget has been the biggest challenge so far! We've scoured antique stores, flea markets, craigslist and even the Salvation Army for bargains to furnish our new-ish home.

Really cute space!

That could easily be my home. There's so much I love about it. The white floors (the second ones I see this morning) are making me want to paint my floors. I love the pink walls - I like everything about it too.

Who's a cute doggie? Yes, you are! Oh yes, you are!

Your home is nice too, by the way. Got my vote!

I have a feeling that this is a fantastic space, but it's hard to get an overall sense of the layout because of the pics.

I agree with Reese902.

Too many shots of chairs, not enough layout, but you had me at "Big Stick."

I agree with the comments related to the sense of the layout. After seeing the floorplan I really wanted to see that you have two front doors. Interesting. LOVE the poppy painting in the first pic! Where did you get it. I would love it for my bedroom. :)

Love the poppies and the cuckoo clock against the pink wall-- I can't explain quite why, but I really like how it looks in the office there.

I was lured with puppy. But this is a great sunny place.

Your office and the big poppy print are my favourite. Pink. Love.
Where is the print from?

Gosh, that's the most beautiful house in the world. I'm so so glad that I live there! Thank you for making our home so gorgeous, warm and inviting. I wish the living room wasn't a little washed out, so all these people could see the beautiful beach view we have out of the front!
Love you baby! You got my vote any day, every day.

The pup is actually in the bedroom, and the poppy print is in the living room/ the same room as the lazy boy. Azaleasmoke, I bought it at the World Market about six months ago, thanks ! To those that want to see the layout better, here are a couple of vetoed pix, I thought they might help... https://picasaweb.google.com/haleyforge/ProfilePhotos#

Gets my vote too! You have NO idea how much I've dreamt about having a fireplace like that in my life.

As evidenced more times than this on my blog:

Chandelier in the second photo FTW. Definitely my favorite home of the bunch. I also hear Summerland is quite haunted. I wonder if this dapper domicile has any spooks?

That's awesome boots - $1,000 for that fireplace, huh? Haley got it on Craigslist for $500. :) Of course don't get me started on installation costs... let's just not go there.

Hi Apartment Therapy friends, I see a lot of comments and questions on these entries about rugs, which has started me on a hunt. I wanted to share this site with you (affordable, great selection and tons of chevron rugs). No, I don't work for them, just sharing a good resource.
