Love it! And your mom's advice is spot on.

And I too was looking at sofas from Macy's (that one included) and wanted to know how it held up.

Ugh! I can't get over how sweet and bright it is. Absolutely lovely!

I would suggest buying big and colorful posters of concerts, bands, products, etc. Or even large panels of Marimekko prints? Which ever suits your style better.

And with big colorful panels or posters you don't really need to paint the walls, or at least not right away, that way you can get a feel of the space and what color it wants to be.

Just a side note: I personally would move the loveseat on the left to a different spot. To me it cuts off the fireplace and moving it allows the conversation area to be directed to the television or the fireplace and would warm up the room.

LOVE IT!!! I wish they made more band posters like this.

flamingo08: that's the first thing I thought of too.

It's quirky but I don't know. I would think it would be fun for kids and sexy/fun for adults.

I LOVE real trees! I don't have to store them, spend time fluffing branches, and the smell is really nice. But this year I'm in a building that doesn't allow real trees so I was forced to buy a fake one. It's good but I still miss my real tree Christmas.

If you've seen the show you know that hoarding is a mental illness. And I feel bad for people who are stuck in that world, like being stuck in the world of other mental illnesses, it must be horrible for the person and the family and friends involved.

I think this show has exposed a certain thing that is not seen, by the majority of people, as a disease but rather just a messy person, a packrat, etc. But it is and it can be treated. Their show "Intervention" raised wonderful issues about addiction of all sorts not just drugs and alcohol.

But on a lighter note (and not to make fun of the people on the show) every time I watch this show it turns me into a cleaning frenzy.

My heart breaks for these people and I hope they can overcome it with hard work and determination. It can be managed and not let it take over your life.

I think I might want to cut out holly leaves and roll newsprint into berries to make a garland.

LOVE this idea! Thanks!

I never said I hated Ikea. I said I have a love-hate relationship with Ikea. Meaning that I have moments that I love Ikea (the good prices and stylish furniture) and I have moments where I hate Ikea (when I'm assembling the furniture or traveled all that way to find out they don't have what I want even though I checked online)

I'm just tired of hearing about it all the time from Apartment Therapy. There's more things out there that they can talk about other than Ikea and I feel like they should branch out. I clicked on the post and submitted a comment in hopes that one of the bloggers would read it and cut back a little on the Ikea posts.

Oh and this was posted by the Chicago Apartment Therapy... do you enjoy getting screwed by the 10% sales tax there? Because I know I do.

(And I apologize for being bitter, this was just a breaking point)

LOVE IT! I do something similar right now, I have stacked plastic Coca-Cola bins that I put my recycling in. Maybe I should have commercialized that idea before these people did.
