Wednesday nights are kids get B'fast dinner as my husband and I head out for our weekly date night. Friday's we then do Pizza, PJ, Picnic Party. We cook home made Pizza, everyone gets in their PJ's and we do a picnic dinner in the family room while we watch a movie. Kids love it and get very upset if we don't do PPPP on Friday nights!

We actually have two boxes of them and use them all the time! Both indoors and out! We're having a dinner party on Sat for Valentine's day and will have them in all our windows and mantles on top of door ways, tables, etc....and as they are faceted they give a really nice glow...and yes...they don't blow out when you use outside.....we also hang from our trees....and last forever!

WOW! We have a black wrought iron bed....and always thought of it as antique looking!! This shows me I can mod it up a bit! Very cool looking, yet cozy feeling bedroom! LOVE IT!

Wonderful and inspiring to look at.

LOVE the idea of one color, but different patterns using different glass paints - brilliant!

And did I really read that there is glass over the wallpaper on the backsplash???? If so can I ask how you mounted the glass? Or did I miss read.

Enjoy redoing the bathroom! As I write this my hubby is laying all the new floor tile in our bathroom remodel, ah the joy!! And I get to grout the millions of 1x1 tiles! Fun!

Ikea also has tons of different type of legs to choose from. Good luck!

You created a wonderful, wonderful space..........I'm sure it was worth all the work.......enjoy it! and to go to all the effort on a rental...impressive as it shows how much you valued having a space like that as part of your "world".

Echoing what others are saying - the space is beautiful, sophisticaed, not overly cluttered - very clean feel, but still gives a feeling of warmth. Inspiring!

Sorry the plumb looks horrible. I would pick up one of the colors (expect the taupe) in the paisley print. I would paint the walls a warm taupe and possibly go with the ice blue color as the accent - or vice a versa if you were looking for a bit more punch.

We also have a FP fridge and LOVE it. As another person said it just barely protudes out and we consider it counter depth. Ours has the complete built in look and we could also send a picture. Our kitchen is quite small - but when we do get a big kitchen some day I love the double fridges next to each other. We get tons of compliments on our fridge and it works great and was an excellent price compared to other "counter depth" fridges. We have the Ikea high gloss white enamel cabinets and chose the white high glass w/ stainless steel handle FP fridge. Saving $'s on the fridge allowed us to buy the FP double drawer dishwasher!

We purchased the Wallmart "modern" crib. Cream and Brown. We also purchased the toddler rail, so that we can stretch the use of the crib...our son slept in his crib/toddler bed till 4! We also bought the matching bureau (just put the changing mattress on top!) Plus we find many changing tables are low and at 5'7" and 6'4" we appreciated the baby being closer! And then after diapers are gone you have a nice bureau. We switched out the knobs with these cool chunky steel roses!

Good Luck w/ your decision!
