thank you for this! i much prefer mexico's bright colors and sunshine to chicago's dreary grey skies and dreary greystone apartment buildings, and these pictures were just what i needed on this cold, snowy evening.

my parents still live in the same old house i grew up in. i spent the summer after college going through everything i'd accumulated over the years and got rid of tons of junk, just in case they ever want to downsize and move.

that being said, i'm more attached to my parents' neighborhood than their house. so i'd completely support a move as long as they stayed in the area.

add chopped tomatoes, chopped onions, spinach, some oregano, and a little bit of garlic, and a frozen pizza = delish!

i know i'm kind of late to the discussion and i also know i'm a little more obsessed with baby blue/teal than your average person, but i keep coming back to this picture from an old AT house tour: http://gallery.apartmenttherapy.com/photo/sf-kat-house-tour/item/117273

even if you don't paint the chairs teal, i think a bold color with the wood table would look amazing. you could even leave the seats of the chair as-is to tie it all together.

good luck! you should share an after picture... you've gotten some great suggestions so i'm curious to see what you decide to do.

I'm a big fan of upcycling, but I'd be worried about splinters with a floor like this...

Chilaquiles rojos with a side of sliced papaya & canteloupe, washed down with a glass of fresh mango juice. Enjoyed on the outdoor patio next to the lake on the campus i studied at in Mexico. (Coffee came a little later in the day.) I still dream of that meal sometimes...

i'm so obsessed with cheese that it was actually the first word i ever said and my parents referred to me as "the dairy queen" until my early 20's. but in the last month or so, it's come to my attention that cheese makes me really, really sick. at first i started subbing in soy products - soy cream cheese, soy milk, soy pepperjack (wha!?), but my stomach doesn't react well to those either. i've been leaning heavily on avocados, peanut butter, and coconut milk (which is amazing in coffee!) since then...

i'm so excited by this post! can't wait to see what everyone else suggests.

I love the small, colorful craftsman bungalows that are so prevalent in Atlanta's older intown neighborhoods. Even better if they have beautiful wood paneling over the porch, like in the "after" picture of this house!: http://www.westviewbungalow.com/index.php?itemid=180

I'm also partial to beach houses of any type! :)

you could try the ikea regolit lamp: http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/60103854

I have a friend with a similar living room set-up who placed the lamp behind the couch (where yours currently is), and the light hangs down over the coffee table... it's a very cool effect!
