Zenezie's Profile

Very cute, I like the star garlands, they give a sense of whimical without the foo-foo. The ceiling is the fifth wall and just screaming for deco attention. The home looks warm, festive, and inviting.

Don't care because they will NEVER live with me (again)

My sister's house: "It's so small and dirty" (hello, it's a working farm)

My house: "It's so small" (translation: "when we move in where are you going to sleep?")

My fireplace is kind of low so the TV over it is not that high compared to most pictures you see. Also I hide the TV by putting hinges on a painting and attached it to a wood frame attached to the wall and wha-la, the painting swings close when TV not in use and it looks like I have a painting over the fireplace instead of a TV.

This is the first time I want to jump through the computer screen and dive bomb into a bed. Seriously, you just may have changed my mind about having an army of pillows on the bed.

As for where do the pillows go at night, don't they stay on the bed? On the other hand I know a woman who got a tall decorative wire waste basket for her husband to chuck the extra pillows to when they need the bed.

MissFifi, I lived in N.Dakota for a spell (talk about living on the cheap!) and we saw too many Canadians showing up in our hospitals for standard treatments and surgeries. I think it was similar to medical tourism, like how Americans go to other counties for inexpensive dental treatments. I wished I had the guts to ask them but I was a punk-ass kid who refused to talk to adults.

Segacs, what is the language police? Is that like Joan River's Fashion Police show that critiques people's language skills instead of their style sense?

I've always had wonderful, considerate landlords and in turn I try my best to be an ideal tenant. I think I have a sixth sense for choosing the right place/landlord because for the first 18 years I watch my parents be less than ideal landlords of their 5 properties. The only bad thing I witnessed were them holding their tenants captive audiences for their political rants and diatribes and endless litany of their family grudges going back 20, 30 years. What I heard from others made me want to sink into the earth. Every summer I painted my parents' properties and when the tenants see me coming they duck and run for cover, probably thinking I would be as psycho as their landlords.

I'm not a techie nerd by a long shot and even I get very annoyed by the magic technology on CSI and movies. Anybody with an iPhone camera (that means almost everybody) knows blowing up/zooming in your pictures only shows indecipherable fuzziness.

Wow wow wow!
Totally impressed!
Totally not my choice of colors but I am incredible awestruck.

Keep the indoor lights, silver & gold babbles, and the greenery decorations (homemade garlands and swags) up while the more gaudy Christmas-y decorations are put away. I have flameless candles on timers so when I come home from work, my apartment is lit up by the ambiance of several flickering "candles".
