Sabrinas's Profile

LOVE:
Making the bed, dust mopping, sweeping (because it proves that what appears clean isn't always clean) and watering the plants.

DON'T MIND: Cleaning the cat box; do it every morning and dump it on the way out. Laundry but I do hate..

HATE: ...going upstairs/downstairs three times to do even one load of laundry. Once to place in washer, second to transfer to dryer (or take upstairs for air drying) and finally, the charmed third time, to fold and take upstairs. Often I'm so done with the whole back and forth thing, that I cram my newly cleaned items into the laundry bag and fold them upstairs where at least I can feel that I'm done and watch tv as I fold.

Love the juxtaposition of the red wall and the green cabinet. These warm and cool colors have whetted my appetite for tomato soup with avocado. Yum.

I agree with the most obvious fix, visually lessening the noise by removing, hiding most of what is displayed and, if possible, painting the cabinets white. Perhaps a rice paper shade would prove to be both inexpensive as well as a quick fix. Honestly, it's not a bad space even when exposed.

Wow! If only I had an extra bedroom it'd be set up just like yours including the mirrors placed on top which I'd never have thought of on my own.

I'm returning to your house tour now to catch details I missed the first time and thereafter to your blog. Or, maybe I'll visit your blog first and then return to your fabulous home tour.

Thanks for sharing and for the inspiration.

I have a 1930's vanity I love but would gladly switch with you as the floor length side mirrors on yours made me gasp. Honestly. Love the turquoise fridge whether it fits or not.

When I first saw the "My Favorite Thing" submission request, I simultaneously thought of my great grandmother's handmade quilt and of my boys - two American short hair cats. Those are my babies and I too marvel at their paws/paw pads, nose, tails and overall shape. They're gorgeous!

I admire the poster for showcasing his cat.

Tell please, the method/weight requirements used to hang the swing chair as I've been wanting to hang one in my living room for some time now. Clicked the link to price said chair but to no avail. I'll check again after dinner.

I have too much stuff and have instituted a saving vs. shopping goal. Instead of seeing my possessions grow, I'm looking forward to seeing my savings account grow.

Recently I've found myself unprepared for the unexpected guest and viewing my home from a visitors viewpoint revealed clutter under all the furniture clogging the flow in each room. In addition to being a shopaholic, I've also been the recipient of many goods from others. Thus, if I don't need it, I no longer accept it.

My goal is to never have to clean before company but to be able to swing the door wide open, smile brightly and say, "Come on in."
