A little bit too "Utah" for me--I grew up there so I believe I have justification. I do think I like the bedroom though. The curtains in the dining area are quite nice.

Did you make them yourself?

I grew up sleeping on a daybed with a pop-up trundle. While they're nice to have, they're hell to make repeatedly. When I was tiny I slept on top of the covers or on the trundle because I hated making the bed.

If you're planning on having kids in the next few years, good luck with the stainless. Kids and stainless don't go well together. Be prepared to clean lots of sticky fingerprints.

I do love this transformation. I'm still not sold on that shade of green. I probably would have gone lighter, but it looks really good.

Magic Erasers or Shower Power. Shower Power's a little bit more difficult to find but works wonders.

Corelle is my love. I grew up with it in my home (in a rather vintage pattern thought) and even now in college, it's what I reach for in my cupboard with the mismatched dishes from my roommates. I'm trying to build up a rather basic collection of solid white from them. Everything else seems too heavy. I also like that it doesn't break easily. I can't count the number of times I've dropped a dinner plate. The weird ringing noise it makes as it circles down to the ground has become very familiar.
