i love all of this. i am in an ultimate life contemplation about leaving los angeles for a smaller more simple lifestyle! this just makes me incredibly excited!

luckily, everything stays really dry under the decks. the tables can get a bit dusty...sometimes the rugs get a little wet. but it's ok!!!

thanks guys and apartment therapy! i should mention i share the backyard too with an amazing couple and their dog gary! the dogs love the yard as do we! we have lived as neighbors for a few months now!

thanks everyone for the comments! i will try and answer some questions...

rosygirl- the chandelier is plastic crystal...not sure it will take paint very well. it looks better in person and actually like it the way it is! and area rugs to me just end up being a mess. i prefer the simplicity and then i don't need to vacuum!

tarqata: those pieces above the orange dresser are not mine. they are vintage metal wall hangings.

vintagetramp- thank you so much! i have some stuff for sale on my etsy shop:http://www.etsy.com/shop/anneroc. i have not really done much with a lot of yet. any suggetsions would be great!

shannon ashley: i got that piece from a store here in LA called thisisnotikea.com

alecandra_b: those canisters were from a line orla keily did for target sometime last year. it sold out pretty fast, but was lucky to find some in rural missouri. i would try ebay!

victoria in DC: no, the counter tops are tile that have been painted a number of times.

peggy: i don't really know much about the floors to be honest. i am assuming they pulled pulled up the carpet and put a varnish on the concrete that was under??? they are not hard to clean, a bit easier than hardwood actually. and i notice it gets just as dusty as hardwood. i have cats so things get dusty quickly no matter where i live. they do not smell funny either. i think it probably absorbs less than hardwood...especially with animals. and thank you so much for the encouragement to continue painting! those are my paintings in the bedroom. i do not have a website yet...but i do sell some small things on the etsy store i posted earlier. i am working on combining all my art onto one website.

thanks again everyone! very encouraging!!!
