i am totally coveting that floor lamp!! does anyone have any info on it?

wow, people. is there really a need to be this harsh about a decorating post?? one or two harsh comments is enough to get the point across...and even then, is it really necessary?

mine never end up on the floor but they do end up on a chair, or at the end of the bed. dirty clothes always go in the hamper, so i've trained myself there, but i can always talk myself out of chores (there's always tomorrow!). i'll definitely try this counting trick because i always feel better when i just get it done, whatever it is.

I loved those tables Grace! Congrats! I think they look awesome next to the couch.

My favorite piece of secondhand furniture is this 1950s green settee I bought with my stimulus check last year. It's by far the most wonderful thing I own.

if i could afford it, i'd buy one in a second! i think they're such a fabulous idea and really well done.

it is sad to say that i have moved around my entire life (military kid) and have never done this! i always had a suitcase with the essential personal items but never a box for essential house items. thank you for the tip!

maxwell! i still have my record player from junior high! AND a disco ball!

Thank you for this info! I've been looking for a good, affordable drum shade for a while and I'm laughing that I never knew there was a Lamps Plus just down the street from me...apparently I haven't been looking hard enough! Ha.

that. is. just. awesome. if you aren't awake in the morning before you walk in there, you certainly will be as soon as you do!

i would say go all white with accessories. you already have so much color going on that to add more graphic elements might make it too busy, and i think the white might calm it down some. just my two cents, but i tend to like calmer bathrooms, especially since it's the first place i have to go to in the morning.

i agree with patrick to try and paint the window sill...at least get rid of that orange and you can easily, and inexpensively, replace the black towel bars, etc., with silver ones (and you can take them with you when you leave). that'll help as well to minimize the whirlwind of color.

red is my most favorite color :)
