I like it all, but I especially like the teal bathroom walls' contrast with the black and white tile, the simple silhouette murals (really, really enjoy the electric poles/wires), and the wood plank wall.

@stephtastic Ohio pride is the best kind!
@madampince We are vegetarians and also don't fry foods very often. We use lids when possible and open the doors and windows if something is particularly smoky. We would like to install an exhaust fan, but cost and the location of the stove provide some difficulties.

@And@721 I am a feng shui believer and the lack of the toilet lid bugs me, but it recently broke.

@meowlady The primitive cat painting was from - dare I say it - someplace like TJ Maxx or Marshall's. It was a gift. We keep cats away from the plants by putting them on plant stands or blocking them with things. The plants aren't all in the places I'd like them to be, but you know you have to be creative to keep the cats away.

@brooklynbeetle The throw blanket is from Goodwill.

Thank you for all of the compliments. It is rewarding to enjoy our home after putting so much blood, sweat and tears into it (no joke!).

The living room curtains are from Pier 1. We had such a tough time finding fun curtains that we overlooked their length. We have toyed with adding a solid colored panel to the bottom of them to allow them to reach the floor.

My mom doesn't have a website. She makes things for herself, family and friends. She is so crafty with her sewing. The IKEA fabric wall hanging in the living room was such a simple task for her - all she had to do was stitch the ends and quilt the lines of the blocks. She makes far more detailed items.

There isn't much more to show with the bathroom except the tub/shower. It's a small room, so I'm sure it was tough to even catch that shot of the vanity. The shower curtain is black fabric with a teal plastic shower curtain for the liner. Both are from Target. The toilet seat lid recently broke (!). We will certainly replace it.

Thanks for the compliments on the pets. They are each so special. The dogs are "special needs", which poses some challenges, but we love them and are so happy to share our lives with them.
