I always paint free hand. The best advice - buy a high quality angled sash brush...they create the best straight edge when painting.

I really don't like to have too many layers - it makes my feet/legs feel weighted down and I can't move! I'm a tosser and turner so I have to have the ability to move at night. I use a light-weight down comforter with a cotton duvet. In the winter I just add a light fleece throw on top for extra warmth. I have to have at least three pillows-one of which must be a feather pillow. I've always slept with that many and probably always will.

Both dogs - 90 lb. Lab and 45 lb. Border Collie in bed with me every night. I haven't had to turn the heat on in my bedroom for three years! I figure since they're helping me save on my energy bill they can stay...plus, I'm too much of a softy to kick them out.

Unlocked during the day and locked when I go to bed. I have 150 lbs. of dogs - and although they would most likely lick an intruder to death, they sound vicious enough that even my friends are afraid to enter!

Wow! I love it! Love the chalkboards and art wall, love the chandeliers, love the leaded glass window. I now have kitchen envy. Thank you for sharing your gorgeous remodel.

I painted my bedroom BM's Pine Cone Brown. After having white walls for 12 yrs. it was quite a change, but I love it paired with my white furniture/accessories.

You can never have too many pillowcases! (says the girl with over 30 in her closet)

I did it with multi-striped rag rugs (that didn't have fringe) and it turned out great! I used a white nylon upholstery thread and you can barely see the stitches, plus, once I arranged furniture on the rug it was hard to tell it was pieced together.
