Ha! You must know some pretty lenient picky eaters... mine would dry heave at the taste of everything on this list but one and five. Broccoli? Double ha!

Love this home. Great tour :D

While you've got everything pulled apart, why not hit the plastic pieces with spray paint for plastic and the metal parts with metal spray paint? Spraying the rest of this chair grey would be super cute!

this is a much more... accessible version of this project: http://www.countryliving.com/homes/makeovers/chair-bench-project-0509

that said, i love this manifestation! totally adorable imo, and i'm totally using the idea to make a cushion from king sized pillows

OK STOP AND READ THIS! THIS EXACT THING HAPPENED TO US... except we'd already purchased, spent 40K renovating and moved all of our stuff into the house before we got tipped off to the suicide that happened in our living room less than 10 years (at the time) ago. apparently the man who lived there before very violently took his own life after his wife left him and took their young baby. both my husband and i were affected by the dark... mood of the house, and had depressive bouts. we moved away, and put a tenant in the house. about 18 months later, we were having her sister remove her from the property - she spent the next several months at an inpatient mental health care facility. we tried living there one more time while we paid down the debt on it. it was not a pleasant experience emotionally.

i'm not saying the house made any of us depressed, but maybe crappy energy can trigger previous issues. i moved away a month ago, and i'm so happy to be out. that house was oppressive, and weirdly dark for a place covered in windows. i wouldn't live in a house like that again, if i could avoid it.

Like Beachychic, I'm disappointed that this post didn't include information about the Electrolux Ergorapido 2-in-1 Sweeper's recall. The battery explodes!! And to add insult to literal injury, apparently the vacuum stops working after 8 months. Hardly what I'd call the "best hard floor vacuum for pet owners." Personally, if I wrote this post I would pull that endorsement.

like some others, i also don't like that this space was professionally designed. i really think it destroys the soul of a vintage/eclectic style home when it's too calculated... which this space clearly is. the things going on in that space look like personal expressions of taste, emotion, and lifestyle, but someone else conceived them! it's just weird for me. too much hipster gentrification going on in south austin, and this just seems symptomatic of it

I'm not seeing the form!!

As for an idea for what to put in them: I was thinking of spraying some adhesive inside the hole at the top and then filling it with glitter powder. I really like glittery ornaments, but I hate that they shed, so that solves that problem.

Wow!! Really pretty. It makes me happy just looking at it.
