Wow!! Thanks for all the great tips! I really love the look of Anthropologie and West Elm too. I haven't done much shopping (just browsing) on Overstock, but after reading all the recommendations I think I'll take a shot! Also, I've always been curious about The Dump, and I didn't know that there was a Crate and Barrel outlet in NJ... that's GREAT news!! I have a few more inspiration photos on my blog The Tiny Abode: http://thetinyabode.blogspot.com/

I'm trying to work with a few other color elements in my living room. If you have any pictures of recommendations, they would be greatly appreciated. Again, a BIG thanks for all of the advice!!


Suggestions For Inexpensive Area Rug?
Good Question

I had the SAME exact problem, and let me tell you... I feel your pain. We tried everything! The window film still allowed for filtered light to come in, so it wasn't a solution for us. We installed vinyl roller shades (fortunately we got them for free on Craigslist). The room is now completely blacked-out. I do have curtains w/ lining, and I left the standard window blinds up mounting the vinyl roller blades in the inner most position within the window frame. My husband and I are sleeping sooo much better. Good luck!

I'm liking Fishtown more and more! The wallpaper in the bathroom is my fave! Nicely done.

Where I agree with others that the sisal or grass look would be a nice accent to the already perfectly finished stone, I'm finding it difficult to make sense of placing wallpaper in the bathroom... a place that contains much moisture. I'd be afraid of the paper falling over time.

If you really want a textured look, this can be achieved through simple painting techniques. Plus if you decide you don't like it later you can always paint over it. Wallpaper is a nightmare to take down.

Honestly, I think the tiles are the best feature in the kitchen, and I think it allows for much potential. I'd definitely give the cabinets a face lift. That white trim sets the whole thing off. I like the idea of painting the backdrop of the cabinets (not the tile) a shade of earthy green.

I know this might not be feasible at the moment, but I think that stainless steel appliances would also make the kitchen look a whole lot nicer too.

I agree with 'I Love Upstate'... the bedroom sheets are a must, but as far as room by room I always start with the kitchen.

Have you considered open shelving? I found this off of someone's blog. I hope the link works.
