romeo&jewels is correct. I saw it in the Rachel Ray mag at the doctor's office & was very tempted to rip it out (too many witnesses). It's even more beautiful up close! Too bad it's so expensive. There is a tour of the kitchen on the magazine's website- it's a green makeover.

I love how the fence looks! How creative.

Yeah, that wall color is not flattering and I can even see the texture in the pics. On the upside, those windows are delicious!!! I feel like a light gray would look good here. It will still show off the architectural details, but allow the blues & greens to pop a bit.

That's pretty cool and surprisinly accurate for me. Even my second favorite colors were partially right.

I like Lisa's idea of a tablecloth. There are lots of really cute ones and when you get tired of it or change your decor, you can easily change it out. It's also a good solution for you since you have no outdoor space. You could even just use it as a temporary solution until you find another table or save up for a table you love.

That looks very cool, and yes I think it would inspire me to see the film. I esp. love the second pic, eery and beautiful at the same time. Those faces in the roses would be a cool Halloween decoration.

No, but fortunately we don't have to. We have a long windowseat in front of some big windows in our living room and the cat loves to lay up there and sunbathe. The dog usually prefers the rug by the french door in the back if he wants sun, but he'll get comfy anywhere.

That's a great budget friendly idea and it looks so nice!

What is that purple tree? I've never seen one like that before; it's gorgeous!

I totally agree on the smoking! It's way worse than noise! It's the same thing in cars, people roll down their windows and blow out the smoke, so on a rare nice day I can't enjoy the weather. If YOU want to smoke, roll your windows up and enjoy all that poison- don't poison me. It's one thing if you have a house and you're smoking in your own yard, but in homes with close proximity have some consideration.

I don't mind hearing people's music too much, it's when they have that extra base or whatever it is and you can actually FEEL it. OMG, that's so annoying! You can be so far away and still feel the beat go through your body.

Based on the pictures, no, it's not impressive. The outside is pretty though. I'm sure it will be cool when MTV is done with it. I haven't even watched The Real World for years, I think Austin was the last one for me. They should go back to when they actually had to work and they weren't just people who got drunk, fought and hooked up in the house.

Heck no! I saw that on an ep of something on HGTV and this had this big ugly china cabinet blocking the only window in their tacky dining room & a dresser in the bedroom! That is insane to me; I love natural light coming in the house. I might block an inch or so of a window with a shorter item, but that's it.

Depends on the look you want. Personally I would go bright, like pink, aqua or yellow. If you want a more nuetral palette, gray would work. Or paint the trim & both doors very very white. Either way, the doors will look better if painted to match.

Now THAT is cool! This is going right into my inspiration folder! I love how colorful it is and it still looks so natural.

I don't like eating outside for the same reasons SherryBin mentioned. If I'm at a bbq, I don't mind eating off my lap. If you like lounging, keep your comfy furniture. If you have the storage space, you could always get a foldable table for meals outside.

It's cute. I really like that outdoor shower and the dog bed- very cool.

Not my style, but it looks pretty good. The only thing is, the place feels really cluttered to me. I really like the furniture the tv is on & the shelves over it- again, I would not want it so cluttered, but overall it looks great.

I think the purple looks good (def. no on the red), but just from that sample, the rug looks like a pain in the butt. Seems like it would be cooler as art, than as a rug. But hey, if you don't mind the work, get it.

We always price our stuff, but it's not like we go around to each item with price tags, it's sort of generalized. And of course, there's always bargaining.

As a buyer, I'd rather see things priced. I may want to bargain down, but I don't want to have to guess the value of an item.

I love that song!

Those are impressive. They look like a lot of work that I would never have the patience to make. That would be a cool idea for a first anniversary gift; I'd like it.
