"They stick with cheap beige wall-to-wall, beige/ivory walls and unpainted luan doors."

*groan* Soooo true. I can't wait to move to our new place, which was never rented before with hardwood throughout, colorful walls (and permission to re-paint them!) and simple WHITE doors. We're moving next month.

I hear you. We're about to vacate our current house where we got married, discovered we're expecting a baby boy, and which he called home for 4.5 years. But I'm not sad at all, and really looking forward to move to our next house (only a mile away) and start to decorate from a scratch! I found that 5-6 years in a rental is about as much as I can bare. I'm sure it'll be different when we have our own house.

I would kill for a white duvet as in room #1. Wah, no really. But still. I NEED it!

Love, love, LOVE your place!!! Such warm and cozy, and full of charm! I fell in love with your fireplace shelf. We have a very similar fireplace and I'm looking for a shelf like yours... Would you care to share the details? Is it a solid piece? Looks like pine... thank you in advance! :)

I wonder how to attach a paper umbrella to a ceiling, as in first photo. Any suggestions, AT's? :)

What I did so far nad plan to do:
1. Master bedroom.
a. Fixed broken closet door. Need either paint or wallpaper it. Need landlord permission though.
b. Got rid of 1 dresser and small table, used as a changing station. Moved another dresser to elder son's room. Took his, refinished it and put in our bedroom. NICE!
c. Debating ordering new WHITE bedding and dawn comforter... probably will do.

2. Little one's room.
a. Ordered new closet door knobs from Etsy and white finials from PB Teen.
3. Living room.
a. Got rid of a HUGE TV! YAY! Couldn't be happier.
b. Painted walls in turquoise! YAY! Happy!
c. Rearranged ALL furniture.
d. Need area rug. Or two.
e. Need rearrange all art.

4. Entryway.
a. Painted walls in BM Dark Linen. Nice!
b. Created a new landing strip.
c. Hung art.
d. Need to buy either blinds or adhesive window sheet for the front door.
e. Might want to paint a mirror frame (maybe) and change fight fixture on a ceiling (also questionable).

5. Older kid's room.
a. Need to paint it.
b. Re-arrange furniture.

Dining/office/kitchen are fine for now.

>Another issue is how much your cell phone provider charges for accessing the Net over a foreign country's 3G cell phone network.<

Not an issue in Russia really. All one needs to do is to buy a SIM-card from a local provider for a very reasonable price and put it in his cell phone. We do it all the time when in Russia...

Nancy_Claire - thank you for your answer! My question was really silly I guess... I live in SF Bay Area and have a HUGE backyard, so plenty of sun and winter temp is above frizing... thus no need to actually HAVE it inside except my silly wish... Right now it's happy outside with my succulents (which I do bring inside when it gets cold.

Does anyone know... is it good (for a tree of course!) to keep a Japanese maple inside by a sunny window?
