Piecour's Profile

Looks my livingroom. Espresso coloured bookcases (that don't hold books), dark TV stand in between and dark coloured furniture. My space has white walls and a lot of natural light, so the dark furniture offsets itself. I'd say, throw on a white or red throw on the couch (if you don't want to waste money, opt for the white). Hang a wreath behind the couch on the wall. Certainly a Christmas tree belongs in this, instant colour, instant light and a focal point. Probably best place is to put it by the window, it will hide the missing window framing. It already looks like the TV isn't centered, so shimmy down the couch/chaise and store the brown wooden chair (?) for the holidays. Buy Christmas decor that works with your colour palate already so there is no colour clashing. It also avoids having to put items away during the holidays. Less is always more. Since I like things to match, pick items that match your Christmas ornaments and lights. Nothing is more painful than veiwing an incoherent room.

The ceiling is mega cool, but I would have anxiety at night from it. It would only encourage my sleepwalking habits. But the paint colours and decor is fantastic.

Ummmm wow! What a transformation. I love it when someone can see the potential of a space that has long since been neglected and deteriorated. Absolutely lovely! I love everything.

Disturbing. They look like the characters from Jim Henson's The Dark Crystal.

TCHOUQUET that's a great article. I'm entirely superstitious about objects and this has fueled my paranoia.

As much as I enjoy minimalism and that I live without 7 of the 15 items on her list, the philosophy of minimalism is logically silly since you still own possessions that tie you down to one place. If you're committing to owning a space, you might as well use what furniture you will use and apply the not keeping things you don't need around.

My province isexperiencing a high amount of fluctuating heat, heavy winds, tornadoes and thunderstorms on a regular basis. My tomato plant is turning yellow, but it's not from blight and I make sure it's not over watered or underwatered. I think the roller coaster weather is killing my plant which was doing so well last week. My smaller plants which sit higher than my large plant are doing great.

Holy small kitchen. Creative ways to create more counter space (always a poblem in the kicthen)I love this! I'm stealing these decorating ideas... mirror, prints... best small kitchen yet in this competition. Anyone can buy nice cupboards, counters and back splashes, it the decorating that make the space something really special.

Some of the suites have too much pattern like the green wallpaper and green floor rug. The wallpaper in the one bathroom was awesome. Other than the wallpaper, the rest of the decor was colourful and contemporary and plain in all of the suites. I love the back of the pepsi sign. It's a great photo. Sadly my view is of other people's backyards and screaming children.

I'd rather date someone who had taste and style over somone who doesn't. Decor has a lot to do with creativity and personal expression. Bringing two different tatses into one that balances both designs means that their is harmony between the two styles. If you can't make it work, either it's you who isn't willing to change or the other person isn't willing to change. If you can't blend your styles and make it work, it's saying something deeper than what's on the outside.

Here's my tip. If Urban Outfitters is doing it, then don't do it. And if they're copying your style you've had long before, it'll pass. As for IKEA decor, pick and choose your battles. Sometimes they have things you can convert into other items and making it so unique that no one else is doing it exactly like you.

Eclectic and ironic items will pass eventually. So unless you actually love eclectic and ironic items, you're just decorating your home with knick knacks that look like they came from someone's basement that has been hoarded for the last 30 years to sell in a garage sale. Next trend... early 90's popular decor pieces. I hope your parents have this stuff stashed away for the next era revival. Or maybe those 80's and 90's futuristic furniture from movies will finally become the future and we can start reimagining what the future looks like. Hunger Games anyone?
