great room scents that i've recently become OBSESSED with..."CB I hate perfume" based in brooklyn (but they have an online shop). Water-based (not alcohol based) and very curated scents that remind you of old books, leather, the mediterranean, cedar, fall...there are so many to choose from...!

I love before and afters...it's truly amazing what a coat of paint can do! As far as your table and chairs, I'd paint the table but would leave the chairs. They are fabulous.

Wow. That place had amazingly beautiful flowers. I would love to go there. Definitely something I would do for a special occasion.

Ever since we started this cure, I've been keeping my eyes peeled for creative "fresh" bouquets. First week was flowers from Trader Joes (that lasted two weeks) then it was apples and lemons, today holly from bushes growing outside my apartment. They definitely brighten up the home.

I hung a new light fixture over my dining room table AND installed a dimmer switch to get rid of the usual apartment fixtures. I'm so proud of myself! I have never done anything electrical before so I got a LOT of advice. But it looks great and the dimmer switch is a HUGE improvement. Learning the importance of great lightning...

I'm hosting a dinner today with some girlfriends and I HAVE to have music for that. But I'll turn off the tv and stay away from surfing the web...maybe I'll read a book instead!

beautiful but there's a LOT of symmetry going on...a little too "figured out" for my taste.

I would try (if there is room) to put the bed where the purple bookshelf and dresser are and put the purple bookshelf in between the windows. Get some airy curtains from IKEA (super cheap!) and pain the dresser black.

On the bookshelf, I would try stacking some of them on top of each other instead of the traditional way of putting books on a shelf. That might help create more room for your frames. You could also put some of the cool photo books stacked under the lamps on the side tables...
