Omigod ChicagoCharm!--your doggie is sooo cute!!! 1 of my cats (RIP Ashley) used to sleep like that all the time...they look like little humans, don't they?

I love all of these pics, especially #1, 2, 3, 8, 10 & 15!

I agree with others who say that you're either an animal lover or you're not. I have 3 cats & while they jumped on my kitchen counter/table when I 1st adopted them (& got scolded), they are always right there next to me on the sofa or bed. They are my babies and are treated as such but I don't like them on surfaces that will be touched by food. They now know not to jump onto anything in the kitchen...so I do think you can train cats; you just have to be consistent & VERY patient.

ldcinlb: Maybe dogs need to be bathed regularly to not stink but cats do a great job of grooming themselves & don't smell at all...especially if they are indoor cats like mine. =)

These are really cute! But I agree, too expensive.

I'm definitely a finisher...my place is full of little projects I have yet to start because I know that once I do, I devote my whole free time to complete it.

I guess I'm in the minority when I say that I don't like this place at all...it is WAAAAAAAAY too much for me! I do like their matching sweaters though.

I'm sorry, but that curtain idea is really ugly--it totally cheapens the room & looks really awkward. That's a gorgeous little doggie though.

@ebanfield, that's an amazing invention! I could totally see myself buying something like that for my bedroom where I'd rather have my bed as the focal point of the room.

@rr90027, thanks for the great website! Those DVD's are definitely beautiful--especially the fish ones!

I think it depends on what kind of style you like. Personally, I love modern things so I would definitely paint it white because I think wood trim is too traditional looking for me. If you do decide to paint, you will have to strip off the layers of varnish so you can get a smooth finish. If you decide to keep it as is, maybe you can go with a taupe color on the walls that would compliment the wood trim but would still keep your place nice & airy.

& this 1 will make it look more streamlined & modern, especially if adding sofa legs:

I would either create a 2nd smaller sitting area with a fluffy flokati rug 2 slipper chiars or a chaise. Or, I would create a nice romantic dining area infront of the fireplace & I'd hang a chandelier above the table to define the space.

I would try buying a stretchy slipcover in a neutral color so it can update that couch & also adding sofa legs to make it look less bulky (if the couch is not too tall already). Maybe something like:

Fish are absolutely beautiful & relaxing to look at but this is so NOT hot. There's nothing hot about animal cruelty or using them as mere props. I think terrariums would be a much better & more humane choice.

For the chair:

For the lamp, although it's only 13" and probably not what you're looking for because it isn't as sleek & modern as yours:
