I've loved their family blog for just about forever.

I'm SO GLAD I don't live with some of you commenters.
She didn't ask for your personal (and quite judgmental) opinions about her life. She asked about style/design...you know the entire theme of this website?

Linz - Here is some advice in regard to the ACTUAL question you asked: talk to your Mom.

You know her best, you know what will and won't upset her. I too moved back home after life gave me lemons and I (gently while being quite appreciative for being given my old room back) pointed out to my Mom that she could tweak a few things and give the place a calmer feeling. I personally updated some of her furniture (after discussing it with her first) and after those few changes she was willing to admit that she had been holding on to things that lacked function & were unnecessarily. The small home projects became something fun we could do together.

If she isn't receptive to what you're saying then you've got to respect that. Take the space she's given you and turn it into your own personal paradise. And remember that this too shall pass.

BEST WISHES!!! <3

"go now go!" oh man. my heart swells looking at this

i'm having room workspace envy right now.

as Niche said, Korean dramas have the BEST set design! I'd recommend "Boys Before Flowers" or even "Personal Taste"...a drama about an architect and an eccentric furniture maker. The design plays such a large role in that particular series that I would even go as far as to call it a character.

When I got my first apartment my mother bought me two ornate silver trays from thrift stores for about $10 each. It has been her go to house warming gift for the last twenty five years.

She used toothpaste and a fingernail brush to clean them, making them all shiny and pretty.

I use one on my coffee table and the other on my dresser in my room. But just be sure to shine them up every now and then
