taureg- that's a good one! i've never heard it.

when arranging tablescapes, etc, arrange in the form of a triangle. tallest item in the middle, shorter things outside.

Great house and awesome art collection.

AND and and, I of course love all the e's. I'm somewhat partial to the letter myself. ;)

gorgeous!

If I would have read this a year ago, I probably wouldn't have understood why this is so cute. Actually, I would have rolled my eyes I'm sure.

Now that I have 2 kittens (who are just about cats...) I get it. I was never a cat person and neither was my husband. Then I found 2 teeny tiny kittens who were abandoned by their mom in our yard...I brought them inside for the night since it was too cold for them to survive, thinking that I could somehow find somebody to take them- somebody who liked cats (not us!). Well shoot, within 10 minutes they grew on us and within 10 days I think it was safe to say that i was a full-on cat person. All my past cat experiences have been negative, and I've always been a dog lover. But wow- I never realized how interesting cats actually were until I had 2 of my own.

That being said, I have been wanting to make an outdoor room for mine because they want to go out SO bad! My girl kitty sneaks into our garage any chance she gets and chatters with delight, rolling in any sort of dirt she can find. I don't think I will go all out with a cat walk (although they would just love that!) but a small area would be nice. I know what's next on the project list! :)

I was so excited to see this post because I just scored a sweet pod chair at a rummage sale a couple days ago!

It's not as big as some of these ones, but it's surely a comfy spot to hang out...and not as claustrophobic as some may think the big ones are!

This looks great! I love the idea behind red pulling people away from the other stuff. I'll have to try it. :)

We have our TV on a dresser. It's definitely a conversation starter, which is funny because we never really thought twice about it! We just needed somewhere to put our television and couldn't buy a media stand.

I like it a lot for storage, but the problem is that it sits just a bit higher than what I'd consider to be a comfortable tv viewing level. But whatever, it works for now. :)

Woo! Grayslake! Originally being from Ingleside, I was pretty excited to read "Prairie Crossing". Your home feels warm and welcoming.

i am in this same predicament! i just bought a great fun and playful doormat at Target the other day. I always love to see personality shine through people's houses, so I thought it was perfect! Until I put it down, stepped back, and realized it was so so wrong and that the space needs a sophisticated rug.

I haven't checked these sites yet, but look into Land of Nod and Pottery Barn Kids and Pottery Barn Teen. They have fun stuff sometimes!
