This is the nicest story I have read in a long time. Thank you for it!


Who Makes Decorating Decisions in Your Home?

You guys can be real jerks. And bashing on the dreamcatcher? Ignorant.

I really like how you were able to make something you already had work for YOU without running out and getting something new. Good job. Inspires me, as I think is the intention of these Before and Afters, to do more DIYing and repurposing around the house.

@vixvax Awesome. :-) You had posted on a type of paint recently and I wrote it down from your post! Clearly we'd be friends.

I've been both a store owner and shopper on Etsy since 2006, browse Craigslist once a week and have "vintage" furniture from aunts, grandparents and great grandparents. I recycle, share clothes/jewelry/bags with friends and family. I also have 4 empty rooms in our new home and if I can get a steal on a rug or throw (not buying that from someone used, sorry!) from a store like this to finish off my rooms, I'm thrilled. I'm not coming out with wheelbarrows full of "crap." And unfortunately, not everyone IS creative and needs help with a little affordable style.
Personally I saw the "vintage" chair as rusty and would probably get my clothes dirty. "De gustibus non est disputandum" as my Latin teach used to say!

Summer preview? Isn't it mid-August? I'm confused. That being said, I really like HomeGoods...we can't all have great flea markets in our area. They have some cute accent pieces! If it's not for you, don't post. No need to be negative. I'm not EWWing all over mid-century modern just because it's not for me.

Good tips!

@Aychihuahua - very good point, shopping your own home and moving things around can make such a huge difference. I'm trying to live by that now!

I have just moved for the 3rd time in as many years and am sort of appalled at the amount of STUFF I continue to move, even after donating, garage sales and yes, throwing things away. After a lot of trial and error, the majority of what remains I love and will be happy to look at for a long time.
