I have a fasicnation with silhouettes and had one cut for me at Disneyland. It's fascinating how the woman there can do it without drawing it first. Amazing. Thank you so much for sharing the post with others Monika!

Cheers,
Karen O.

What a lovely bedroom. I agree that it is cozy even though it has a working space. Nicely done!

Amy, Kudos to you. You did a wonderful job. I would never want to tackle something like this and would pay someone else instead. But your chair is Knock-your-socks off wonderful and you wrote great a great article on your project with a lot of great details! I can't sew to save my life and would not have the patience for this. You really did a great job!

What a wonderful Wonderful place to love! I absolutely love color and love how everything in her place is something she loves and intuitively put together. Screams of personality and expression. I love it a lot! Great inspiration.

I remember Victoria's apartment from before and simply love what she has done to refesh the entire space. Love the color palette and the new furniture she has!

Love how the Hello Kitty in a Kimonon is right next to a truck! The Fisher Price house on the book case really brought memories back for me, I think I had one when I was young too. I love the colors in the nursery.

I'm a huge Eichler fan. Living the Bay area in Norcal we have many Eichler homes as well. This home is fantastic! I love how it is very much lived in as well :) Great tour.

Love love thrift shop finds. Scored a sofa $45 and an armchair $35 at a Salvation army and had them reupholstered. Great post! I literally love going from thrift shop to thrift shop in search of different things. Totally addicted to thrift shopping!

What a fantastic tour. I'm so envious of their yard. The bones of the house are very interesting. I love seeing older homes.

I used to not like pink at all. I thought it was too girly but now I absolutely love it! Great tablescape above with pinks and orange.

I thought this was a really interesting post. I would have loved to see more photos. The opening photos of the post - I wonder where these hotels are?

Wow, Absolutely love the inspiration room. I buy stuff off of Craig's list all of the time to redo. Part of the Boho look is ecelectism which is to mix instead of to match things. You may not want to buy a matching pair of chairs and sofa, just choose either the sofa or chair. Or you could split them up and use them in different rooms.

I love the chair you chose - it looks like a victorian chair and I've seen them cost anywhere from $200 and up. Some people sell the chairs with their sofa as a set. If you are going for a more modern vintage look - definitely redo them by reupholstering and refinishing the wood in what you like. After all, that's part of the charm of a modern bohemian look - taking things you like although they are different and pulling them together.
