Beautiful.

The litter box is nuthin'. I scoff at the the gardening and most any mess. Cleaning out the refrigerator, though -- anything but that.

New Orleans, 1985, Prytania Street, one block lakeside of Jefferson, two blocks riverside of St. Charles. Entrance and one room downstairs (housed the piano, staircase with stained glass windows) and entire upstairs (two bedrooms with private baths, Juliet balcony, living room, dining room, kitchen, sleeping porch turned into sun room). $500/month, utilities included. Landlord didn't care what we did (painted, removed carpet to expose gorgeous hardwood). He told us, check out the attic -- if you like anything up there, it's yours. I still have some of the attic furniture. Incredible old house, wonderful man.

Love the gray. It's taken a long time for me to come around to gray, but I'm sold. Great tour, thanks.

Vintage iron beds are abundant and inexpensive in the South. Mine are more than 100 years old and are sturdy as rocks (and weigh about as much). They're easy to paint and retrofit as platforms for foam mattresses. Can't imagine having anything else.

Memory foam. Coils and springs kill me, and there's no going back.

One of the best, a beautiful home.

Top 5 Trends! Because granite is dated, just as the Top 5 Trends will be in a couple of years. Next!

Great projects + no how-to info = Big Fail.

Popcorn be damned, I love letting a house be what it is. "Upgrades" can come slowly and carefully, if at all. This is a wonderful, creative, comfortable home for a beautiful family.
