The story line in these three books is great. I did find the writing to be unpolished, but then again, it was - based off a manuscript and then on top of that, translated. Whatever nuances the writing may have, you keep reading, because most of it is very good - good enough, in fact to forgive any issues you have with it. Lisbeth Salander is a refreshing heroine.

As a side note, I have to wonder how vastly improved the Twighlight series would be with the addition of this paragraph.

I don't get why the seating arrangement is almost on top of the fireplace. Other than that, I like the basics. Switch out some carpeting for hardwoods and more fitting fixtures. I'm wondering if the kitchen is dreadful...

Is it just me or do the pots on the deck look photoshopped??

Your answer:

GUITAR FABRIC! example:

You have some great bones there...I like the couch, parquet floors, and blank walls...you just need something to tie it together and at the same time make it work with the way you use the room. I think using the guitars and amps as inspiration, you could do something really cool there.


Apartment Therapy New York | Good Questions: New Cushions / New Sofa Survey?

Faced with the same decision in our home, we decided to compromise by leaving the main floor (all oak) as is and painting the kitchen and upstairs (all pine) white. It was typical for homes to have pine in rooms other than the LR and DR since it was less costly. I would LOOOOVE to paint our LR trim, though...way too dark!

I think some people miss the point...sometimes on AT people write in and ask for suggestions, and sometimes they are just opening up their personal spaces and hard work with us and sharing. Unless I missed it, there wasn't a question in there...

Your advice for first figuring out the mood you want in the room is great and it looks like by following that advice you were able to get the kitchen you'd been longing for! Awesome job and thanks for sharing : )

Why would some of you bag on something they obviously feel so good about?? Doing that would make me feel awful.

They look as though the backs and the seats are two separate cushions that aren't attached to the chair...if so, I would make two sets of covers that just zip open and closed - one with a neutral print and one with a bold for when the mood strikes you!

I don't know if you are planning to do the work yourself or not, but most upholsterers will charge less for cushion covers that are removable than they do for those that are permanently attached. I'm currently taking a class at the local community college - pretty cool since they have the space, the tools, and all the help you need.

And by the way, nice chairs : )

I haven't tried it yet, but there is also a plug in available for firefox called misspellr which allows you to find great items you may have otherwise missed. I think it also works with eBay.

heh, I emailed these to my friend figuring she HAD to have them because her kids are named Max and Jada. Turns out they were made for her and the gal from CraftPudding lives a half an hour from her. Thanks Ohdeedoh for making me smile...it took the immensity of the world wide web to make me and my friend that I don't see nearly enough have a little chat that we otherwise wouldn't have had : )

My three year old niece and I have paged through this book again and again...and again. The fun part is that every time we look at it, she laughs so hard that I get laughing at her, then she laughs at me, and before we know it we're a big 'ol pile on the floor. Just when we settle down, she turns the page and we're at it again. That's some of the best stuff in life!
