I lived in Acapulco for awhile and came across many of these :) They're quite comfortable and very cute.

Looks like a really cool place! I'd love a house tour :)

Still, those pics are so saturated it hurts my eyes :S Hard to really appreciate the house.

I recently took over our downstairs bathroom because it has better water pressure than the upstairs. I have a bamboo bathmat, a small plant, and a candle on the toilet tank. On the wall there's an art piece of a peacock made entirely out of colored shells from a small Mexican fishing village where my mother-in-law grew up.

I also just added 2 tiny shelves above the sink where I have some soaps, a candle and some seashells.

It's tiny and only has a corner shower, a tan toilet and a tan pedestal sink, but it turned out pretty spa-like!

Once I was living with 3 other girls. Roommaets 1 & 2 put up a written sign above the sink saying "please wash your dishes". (I never used the kitchen, so I assume it was aimed at Roommate 3.)

I asked Roommates 1 & 2 politely many times over 6 months to stop leaving their dirty glasses around the living room, but it continued. They also would leave dirty pans all over the kitchen for days at a time. One day I got so pissed off, I took all their dirty dishes into their room and put them on the floor. On top of the dishes, I laid their "Please wash your dishes" sign. It was glorious.

(They were irate at first, but apologized the next day.)

I know lots of people who do business outside of a traditional office format, and they use their iPad all the time.

I don't own one and have no need for one because I'm on the computer for 8 hours at work, but I think it does have its market.

I'd always stick with chocolate. I was never much a fan of this new gray trend... too depressing when used on the walls.

Face down! I live in Mexico and with all out open windows/doors, we get a lot of dust.

I think my mom used to have them face up in our cabinets, though.

Should be down probably, but I don't really care and it was always open growing up. now that I'm married... still open, and my husband leaves the seat up as well.

My in-laws recently did a few orange lacquered accent walls, and it looks VERY cool!

I'm not sure it's something I'd do in my place, but I sure like to look at it.

For the most part I prefer the before.. the after is a little stark and bare for me.

That being said, I do love the green wall, the telephone and yes, even the lighter floors. :)

I've been living in Mexico for 6 years, and now I'm addicted to colors! (bougainvilleas are my favorite inspiration)

I love having our small dogs on the couch and bed with me! But once I got married, my husband is adamantly against having pets on the furniture :( Oh well.

From the teaser before, I thought I'd like the interior a lot more. It was nice, just nothing that stood out much for me personally.

I still loooove the black exterior and the back deck (and hate the wood wall).

Dear Lindsey,

I'm really jealous of you right now. Amazing house, and I wish my husband would let me use that many colors!

Sincerely,
Me

All houses are very close together in my neighborhood, and sound really carries! I don't really mind as I like the usual neighborhood sounds, but my next-door neighbor has a girlfriend that is a SCREAMER. and they do it several times a day.

I haven't said anything because I don't want to spoil their fun. When my husband and I hear it, we just turn the TV up and laugh it off.
