The idea of painting walls black is something that I haven't been able to wrap my head around -- until now. I totally get what you've done here. It is striking and sleek. The fact that it is chalkboard paint adds a touch of playfulness -- which I love. I like the gold frames, too!

Gorgeous cat. :)

I love the colors in this bedroom -- neutral walls and rich colors. Beautiful. I REALLY love the frames that hold your earrings. Those are super cute and work well as wall decor, too!

As an avid Google Reader user, I wasn't too happy when I logged in this morning. A quick google search for "Google Reader replacements" gave me many articles with lists of the best (free) replacements.

@Sk345 -- You might want to try a simple google search. While Feedly seems to be the most popular replacement option -- it is also the one I chose to switch to -- there are certainly other alternatives.

I've only just started checking in to Feedly, but it seems to be pretty easy to use. Everything from Google Reader imported in a matter of seconds. So far, so good.

This ADORABLE puppy was definitely the reason I clicked into this article.

However, I enjoyed the article, too! I agree -- history articles are quite interesting, and I'd love to read more of them. :)

I really like this home. I think it is a wonderful example of a home that is well designed but is functional. I can tell that people live here, which is not always the case with homes featured on AT or in magazines.

I loved your bit about pets. I completely agree -- an lovely pet is worth more than a perfect sofa.

I also really love the little plates on the wall in your bathroom. I think they are ocean / nautical themed? This might be a stretch, but do you have a source?

Thanks for sharing!

I think the green walls are divine, and they definitely go with the eclectic decor you have going on in your home.

Your massive photo wall is great!

I agree with pretty much every poster here -- check things out. It can't hurt to do a little bit of digging to try to find out more information, and what you find will probably make the decision for you -- either giving you piece of mind or giving you a reason to move on.

As a renter, the only time I ever made a point to provide feedback to potential incoming tenants was when there was something that I felt needed to be addressed. In my case, it was the quality of the landlords -- I have several pretty interesting stories, but the worst is probably when we were without water for 5 whole days after the water heater in the basement broke and the landlord tried to fix it on his own.

I'd say, if a tenant or someone who lives in the neighborhood is making a point to provide you with feedback, particularly a reason to be concerned, you should make a point to take them seriously.

I make my scrambled eggs in the microwave. I mix 1 tablespoon of skim milk per large egg. I typically cook them for about 1 minute per egg; although, you'll need a bit more time when using just 1 egg. About halfway through, you'll want to take a fork and break-up the egg before completing the cooking process.

This is such an easy way to make super fluffy eggs in the morning when you are craving a hot breakfast or in the evening when you need a quick dinner!

I would never have guessed you guys have only been living here for 3 weeks. I am so impressed! If you have managed to create something like this in only three weeks, I can't imagine what you will come up with the longer you live in your space.

Nicely done!

Every home has history, and many things happen behind closed doors. I'm sure many, many people are living in homes, unaware of dark things that happened there.

However, that shouldn't keep you from falling in love with and buying the home for yourself. If you love the home, you will fill it with you. I don't believe that some sort of dark energy will be inflicted upon you, just because someone who lived in the house in the past experienced troubles.

History--whether it be dark or light--is what makes a place interesting, gives it character. If you love this house, buy it and fill it with your own memories.
