I love a light turquoise wall, or pale teal wall with red and white. Just ground the room with a dark wood headboard.

I bought that exact mattress (Natura Tranquil, but queen size and no boxspring) this fall. I've had it for three months and love it. Side sleeping, back sleeping and belly sleeping all with great support but not too much 'firmness'. I was hesitant about the 20 year guarantees, since the company hasn't been around that long, who knows how long the mattresses will really last. But I was determined to buy as green as I could afford. Oh, and I bought it in Canada. Similar price points here.

So I was inspired by the description and their simplicity just made these to have as a bedtime snack (1/2 recipe). Eh - they're okay... nothing special though. I don't think I'd make 'em again.

If you really are making these gluten free, please also make sure you buy gluten free baking powder and gluten free vanilla extract.

Gluten hides in everything, it seems.

Outdoor light timers are amazing. I love coming home to Christmas lights and not having to go out into the cold before bed to turn them off.

Ooh! Oooh! This is perfect -- I've been looking for this exact size/colour combo for my kitchen!!!!

I love your kitchen and bathroom, but I'm at a loss about the actual furnishings (or lack of) for the rest of your place.

Do you all just pile into the bed or sit around the table?

argh. I meant you're. Not your.

Love your materials, but I'm not sure this layout would work for me. I've got 690 sq ft and manage a living room that seats 8-9 quite easily and a dining space that regularly hosts 6 for dinner. Is there a reason you decided to forego space for a dining table and did the breakfast bar?

Krissy B - the sofa is from IKEA. It's the EKESKOG. It's huge (almost 8' long) and comfy (40" deep) and often a challenge to fit into a small space or up the flights of stairs when moving, but sooo worth it. It seats 4 or 5 during movie nights or family visits and is the size of a single bed for hosting an overnight guest.

laurapescot - glad you like the place, even with the 'purple'. The wall was meant to be black. Sometimes in the daytime there is the faintist tinge of eggplant to it. I think the paint colour was called 'Napoleon'.

AngelaDee76 - the mirror was a total score at Pier 1 (about 6 years ago).

If we could get some sunshine here in Vermont, I'd be happy to retake & repost some crisper photos. I think the low light from the drizzy, grey spring days *sigh* is resulting in the grainy-ness.
