That is all I have to say about that.

I need some Color Help:

I have been contemplating doing my bedroom pink and would love some advice to keep it looking like the room of a 36 year old married girly-girl and not the room of a child. :)

This is something of the color I want

but I haven't decided on whether to paint the walls pink or another color and add the pink elsewhere.

I want a funky, fun and grown up look. Any suggestions??

note: DH says he doesn't mind me decorating our bedroom pink. :P

IMO the hide rug rocks. I agree that the two rugs don't go well together tho.

Color Question:

We are selling our home and are in the process of some 'home-staging'. So far we have painted most of our rooms a creamy white. Personally I don't like to live with so much neutral. I am a color girl so I want to add impermanent accents (curtains, pillows, etc) in a fun color.
Home-staging experts recommend red to move the eye and add a jolt. I am not a real big fan of red so I wondered if using orange or pink would do the trick just as well? Any suggestions? We actually have to live in the house and who knows how long it will take to sell so I don't want to live with something I don't like.

thanks

Whoops. I put my question on the old thread.

I may purchase this cool mid-century dining set for $125.00 Seller says it is sturdy except for the four chairs. It is the hutch, buffet, table, chairs and table pads.

Is this a good deal??

I have a chance to buy this dining set (includes a table) for $125.00 I love the mid century style...the seller says that the pieces are sturdy except the chairs (4).

Do you think this is a good deal??

"my dog had jumped up on my old bedspread and, well, let's just say she soiled it when she sat down and wagged her tail"

ROFLMAO!! I KNOW what you mean! :D :D

I am glad you asked this question, since I have the same problem, and I am glad people answered you instead of trying to tell you to keep the dog off the bed!

Tired Kitten: one question, do you bleach your matelasse?

Ha! Regarding the quilting thing: I have in my possession a quilt made by my sister in 1974 that has a square for each of my mom's kids ( families) that was a gift to my mom for Christmas of that year. "My" square was embroidered by my sister since I was 3 years old at the time. The whole quilt is pieces of clothing and misc. fabric that was around at the time, my mom's house-coat, my 'play blanket', my sister's psychedelic plaid dress, etc. The border and backing is BRIGHT ORANGE. Right now it is on my daughter's bed..she loves it. It is pretty grotesque style-wise but the history is undeniable!
