I love the mix of patterns, and it's just enough stuff to be cozy, but not enough to freak you out. Plus, the puggle is awesome.

But Mondo designed his Plus fabric for a very specific reason -- to show that he was HIV positive and to document his reaction to it. I'm not sure I would like to look at pluses (or crosses) as "trendy" when I know that Mondo did this to bring attention to HIV.

BruceS63, that video was awesome. Maybe i can have that guy come and do it for me. . . .

What is the bathroom color? I'm thinking of painting my own bathroom, and am totally in love with it!

The backspash tile is gorgeous! The only thing I would add is hardware for the cabinets. Not expensive, and they would really add to your country esthetic.

Lovely and elegant, with just the right mix of modern and rustic for me. I don't care that a lot of the stuff comes from standard sources -- these things are great, that's why they're standard! The only thing I would like is more rugs, to make it cozier.

Oh, and awesomely adorable frenchie!

I've also seen these old cribs hung on the wall and reused as craft supply holders, also a great idea.

And if there's anyone out there who hasn't seen Dexter yet -- I think Netflix has 4 or five seasons. I could not take my eyes off of it, watched it straight through!

We have the Kivik in the Tuling grey cover, and we love it. I know it's low, but the square armrests are perfect for plates if you're an eating-on-the-sofa person, like my husband. It's true that the back pillows get smooshed, especially because my two dogs love to sit on them to look out the windows. But we haven't had any problems with the slipcovers, and i've had them off to clean several times. It still looks and feels gorgeous after 2 years.

The shelf above the desk is just Ikea brackets with a plain wood plank from the hardware store! I wanted something natural looking, and that did it. The curtains are also Ikea.

The desk and chair are vtg Heywood-Wakefield, gotten for a steal! The green pottery is mostly a mixture of 50's and 60's McCoy and Haeger, but one of the yellowish ones is my prized 40's Rookwood. The big green one in the center and a small one on my desk are Canadian pottery called Blue Mountain that I've never seen in the States. The sewing machine is my grandmother's 1973 Singer -- the one I learned to sew on and later inherited.

Yeah, I'm thinking of repainting the bulletin board frame, it came out a little bright. Back to green? Or maybe a darker purple?
