Rad color combo. And you leave the corded phone on the island? Where everyone would trip over the cord as they walk by? Ohhh, it's just the for the picture. That's cool.

Definitely better, but those rugs are going to curl up all around the edges. Then you trip on them, constantly try to turn their edges back down. It's no use. They're pretty but not practical.

MusicMama - The UO rug is very slidey. It would need a rug pad on hardwood floors. I used one for it on carpet floors. The edges still curl up. I regret getting it now that I think about it.

I confess the picture on the wall is the only reason I clicked.

Good advice. Come stay at my home any time. I'd love the constructive suggestions. Promise not to get my shorts all in bunch about your critiques either.

Here's one vote for purchasing something from thesofaco.com. We were able to get a customized sofa for around $1100. So far it's held up great with our kids, though it's only been about a year so take that into considertion. We were treated nicely by the sales team. We didn't feel pressured to buy. Plus we bought it on Labor Day Weekend so we got it with no sales tax. Hey, it's almost LDW again. Maybe they're running that promotion again.

There's something about making a commitment before others, a judge, your loved ones, a minister, God if you choose to recognize him, that makes a marriage commitment very significant. Some might say it's "just a piece of paper" or a "ring on a finger", but deep down I think even those know that it's more than that. If you'll humor a quote from a fairly popular 90s movie, a certain actor and actress have this conversation after she proposes marriage,

"I want you around in the morning."
"You already have me around in the morning. How, I don't know, but you do."
"I want to know you're legally required to be there."

This is slightly off-topic and I apologize but there might be some good responses. I'm generally looking for sites that reinforce simple, uncluttered living. Those that have a design angle are particularly fun but it doesn't have to be. Can anyone suggest? I browsed organizemyhive too. Thanks Vicki From Busy Bee Organizing for posting your link. I enjoyed your photos and comments.

Well done! Store bought floor poufs are shockingly expensive.

I offer the idea that there is a difference between mess and clutter. Mess is, ideally, evidence that something productive, useful, or fun was going on. Mess is supposed to be cleaned up, put away, and removed from sight once it's back in its proper place. Clutter is visual junk, homeless objects that take up valuable space that other things need. I'll take the messy, lived-in look just fine. Just so long as I know that it can easily go away when it's time to clean up.
