If only my husband could keep his closet looking like the one in the picture...

House tour please, and love that tub!

Holy color! I would never think to paint a fireplace mantle pink, but it just works.

My husband and I adore our cats, but we both know that they would ultimately stay with me if that became necessary. I suppose he might come by and visit but there is no way we would pass them back and forth. They are too territorial, hate car rides, and frankly I think they're a bit more attached to me. Perhaps he's a better person in that I know he'd let them stay with me if I insisted, and he'd probably even be willing to share vet bills... We would never split them up. I think it's great that peple can be grown up and mature about this, and I have clients who make it work, but it's definitely tough. FYI, animals are treated as personal property in many states, so unless you can agree, a judge won't take the time to draft a "custody" agreement.

Agree with @Magoo1. I'm a dining room person, and do not want people eating in my kitchen. I suppose if I had space I might add a teeny table to eat breakfast at, but that's it.

Glad I'm not the only one whose cat(s) have completely taken over the bed. So nice to see people sharing their small homes with animals.

Love the yard - what an oasis!

@swieland I was just having that thought the other day. I can locate the sheets we need but it seems so dumb to keep them in the linen closet when they could fit in our bedroom closet closer to the bed.

Thanks for the great post.

We have knob and tube wiring and four sconces in our living room. It's pretty dark as a result, but they're pretty - especially the ones that flank the fireplace. If re-wiring for scones that are already there is not expensive I'd probably do it unless you have lots of art, etc. to hang. Otherwise outlets for lamps are probably your cheapest option. I'm sure you've done this already but ask your electrician what they recommend since they do this everyday. I'd also try to figure out your funiture placement now since that dictates your lighting needs (e.g. do you read on your sofa, do you want an outlet next to a chair, etc).

This is beautiful and so heart warming.
