She pretty much stated that it is "unlike traditional quilting". Enough said.

Its cool, and great to have the power of women friends, regardless of that they do when they are together!

I like the before. With those exposed joists, you could install some cool indoor swings or some gym rings for play. The dropped ceiling is hideous, and it looks unfriendly.

Er.... Just exactly what is with the mason jar with sticks? Just asking...

nice job!

Gorgeous home! Love the sofa w/ the covered cushions....and the beautiful greyhound!

How about that gorgeous plant in the white pot? beautiful

I would wait until his lease is coming to an end. 6 months is a long time and since your lease will be 1/2 way through at this time, your landlord my be more inclined to let him on the lease then if you are still brand new tenant.

Do not paint the veneer! it will be a ton of work and the end result will be less than stellar. Do however; get a price quote for new doors that would match whatever new cabinets you install for the island. I would not go box store for this. Check with a local cabinet company. You will be surprised how the price will compare and they will do all the measuring and provide you with the accurate match. Also, you can check the hinge and sometimes the brand is marked on the hinge.

I have not read through all the comments so forgive me if this is repetitive.

1) replace the art. or at lease group it close together above the couch in a circular pattern.
2) paint the walls a really deep beige (you dont want too much color in the walls, you have so much in the textiles
3) get a very thick shag rug in a deeper blue/ rust/ or a deep pewter color
4) separate the bookcases, they do not look good paired together (do not paint them as the wood tones go very well with the coffee table)
5) fill up the glass case with knick knacks that have a natural wood/metal/rustic look. these will go very well with the earthy color tones of the room
