Too much clutter for me - my eyes aren't sure where to look!

The whole corporate trend of "no walls means better communication" makes me want to kill myself with my stapler. It looks cool, yes, but be the 80 billionth time you've had to listen to people chatter, talk on their phones, eat at their desks, type aggressively, etc....you no longer give a ^$^# what your environment looks like because you just *want the damn walls back*.

Life is complicated enough without having to care about how trendy our clothes hangers are.

Arlington, MA is already the suburbs.

I would never leave the bedroom or the garden if I lived there. I love each of them that much!

Why is your bathroom mat over the tub? I hate walking on the cold floor of the bathroom, so I always wonder why people do this?

I love Oak Lawn! My brother lived there for several years (we grew up on the NE side of Ft Worth) and I always loved visiting him there. I live in San Fran now, but still love that neighborhood :-). Cute place!

I didn't say I thought it wasn't beautiful - I said it looked "hard". The furniture is beautiful - but if the softest thing in your living room is a barely padded sofa, nobody is going to want to hang out.

The surfaces all look very hard. That sofa doesn't look inviting, for example. Do you ever curl up on it? It looks like it would hurt your tailbone after a while!

2, unfortunately. I love the look of more, but since we sleep with one each, and never lounge/sit up in bed, more means a giant messy pile of pillows on the floor!

The desk is what's in the loft.

....isn't that supposed to be the dining room, not a bedroom?

#6 makes me claustrophobic with all the patterns and clutter! I'd probably keep things as open as possible, with a simple color/pattern palate, unless I desperately needed the storage an Expedite provides.

So in love with the green-white-black-grey-wood color scheme! Our guest room has the same thing going on :-).

You could put solar fins or some other type of canopy coming off your house. Not too expensive or hard to install, and it'll provide you shade in the summer, as well.

It looks like a full sized bed. Two smaller people who don't mind touching while they sleep would fit just fine. I, however, need a king sized bed, my own blanket, ear plugs, and nobody touching me to sleep, haha.

Oh man. This is going to be such a hard, whiplash-inducing change for you! Hope you are able to either do yearly trips to San Fran to go thrifting....or come to terms with the fact that the rural community you're living in will probably look at you like you are insane if you are galavanting around in vintage every day! haha. I grew up in Texas and live in San Fran now, and that's exactly what they do to me when I go home and visit. Stay strong and stay you!


Stocking Up Before Moving: Perverse or Perfectly Sensible?

MaryHS - I've never had a problem with the corners rolling up - are you buying very inexpensive rugs? Mine aren't THAT high end (Crate and Barrel, CB2, etc) but I would imagine that cheaper rugs would be more prone to that. Rug tape on the corners would likely prevent the rolling up!

Also, rug pads are inexpensive and will keep things from sliding around.
