Some of you respond to painted wood like somebody just kicked your grandma.

It's a dresser! Some people like paint! Get over it!

I was mad that I wasted time reading this silly list, but the comments made it worth it.

My first thought was white furniture, white sheers on the windows, and all of the lamps you can shove in there without cluttering up the space. I love the idea of a big mirror, too!

I really like the floor we can see in the foreground, by the way.

Here is the part where I point out the hilarity of anyone who has time to read and comment on home decor websites calling anyone else out for being frivolous, ever. Just stop it!

Unrelatedly, I'm from Dallas, and I love the heat! I think I might be part gila monster, though. :D

They're pretty awesome just as they are, with all the grey. I don't know that you really need to do anything with them.

You guys are so mean! :( She didn't ask how best to get rid of the shot glasses, she asked how best to display them.

Some people like to actually LIVE with their partners, instead of hiding them away in a garage.

It's lovely, but I was surprised to see "Cara and Jerry's." Looks like it's just Cara's to me.

I'm a crazy perfectionist, and sometimes it's hard to even get the motivation to START on an organization project, because I just know I'll never get it "right." Terrible!


Pro Organizer Tips: What NOT To Do When Decluttering Your Home

Yay! I love GFY. And Tom and Lorenzo! So fun.

I like a lot of these dresses too. But that's the fun of fashion! Everything's subjective and it's all about context. And even when I love the stuff they fug, I still always crack up at their posts. It's all in good fun!


That Dress Would Look Even Better…On My Walls Go Fug Yourself

When I was a little it was really, really important to me to have my own space and have some control over it. I had kind of a chaotic childhood, though, so the same may not be true for others.

I think all of the rooms I've seen in the comments so far are just lovely, and they look so inviting--for kids AND grownups! Kudos to you guys for finding the right balance.


Decorating Kids' Rooms: How Much Input Did Your Child Have?

I've always found that if I love something, it works! I think you're on the right track with clean, modern frames. Maybe add a couple of pillows or other accessories to tie the colors in with the rest of the room (you're starting from a neutral base, so it'll be easy!), and voila!

@Sewtrashy, you have my sympathies. My friends are all super into TV, so any time we're hanging out it seems like that's the default activity. So boring. I watch plenty of TV myself, but that's not why I go to parties. Having seats facing away from the TV is a great idea. Or just unplug the stupid thing and tell them to lump it, haha. (Don't really tell anyone to lump it, obviously. Although I admit, I am sometimes tempted!)

I use Pandora or occasionally make playlists myself, if I'm feeling sassy. I'm definitely going to try 8-Track, though! Pandora can be a very mixed bag.


Do You Play Music at Your Dinner Parties?

I've got no problem with this post, but man oh man are the comments gross. If you can't deal with accommodating your guests' diets then don't offer to cook for them. Just throw a different kind of party!

Or better yet, don't throw a party at all until you figure out what hospitality actually is.

I love places with a lot of art and whatnot on display. There's so much to look at! I love the green, too.

Now that is how you do thrifting right! What a great space. And so much awesome art to look at, too.
