Lala M's Profile

I like it! Sure, it's not practical, but that is up to the resident. My kitchen is exactly the same size, except I have open shelves and a microwave above the stove. I love the curtains *below* the sink, but it kind of bothers me that the top one don't fully cover the left cabinet. If I weren't moving soon, I'd remove my bottom cabinets and do the curtains (one cabinet door doesn't close all the way anyways... was like that when I moved in). Love the color scheme too. You are giving me ideas for my next place!!

Beautiful. I used to collect Breyer horses and my mom always had them arranged on a long, skinny shelf above my bed. I kind of want to collect them again hehe :) I used to live in Five Points, my beau and I always went to Sputniks (mmm cuban sandwiches!) and I can't NOT go in Fancy Tiger when we go to that area... I love love love the fabric selection there! Definitely a great store to check out if you're in the area

This is amazing. I love stuff like this that encourages children's imaginations, especially in a world of iphones, ipads, video games.. etc

BEAUTIFUL HOME! This is almost EXACTLY how I want mine to look... get out of my head!! My mother does the same thing; something old, something new... and I've grown to love that. I can't wait to get settled down and do the same thing. Thank you for showing your home.

Cute pups too!! Love the name Penelope!

I have to use an ugly metal crate. My husky is HUGE. And yes, he loves that stupid thing. He goes in and chills all day when I leave the door open. I've always loved how some crates can serve as a side table or a coffee table, but gosh darn it, it's not doable with my behemoth of a dog. That'd be one huge bulky coffee table!

Here's my picture of an old outhouse! I hope the link works:

This outhouse had two seats; a lower one for children, and a higher one for the adults.

And not far from this outhouse was this cabin:

I found these gems at the Wild Irishman Mine past the ghost town of Saints John in Colorado. Yes, Saints. Not Saint. I'm amazed at how these buildings still stand despite years and years of long winters. You need 4x4 to get up there, but oh my gosh. The views! This is the view!

@Sunsets and swimming pools, only thing IKEA I noticed was the coffee table- only because I have the same one. :) However, it's been painted or covered or what have you... so beautiful. I want to do something similar to mine. That was the only Ikea thing I noticed; if there are any others, it probably goes with the rooms so well that you don't even notice.

This is a beautiful home. I love the little random things like the pink curtains (pink!!!! I'd never have considered it, but they look fabulous in the room with the other touches of pink). I also love that green door in the guest house! I'd live in that guest house, I love the whole look of it! I'm also partial to smaller homes :) Love that kitchen in the guest house too, it looks so warm and inviting.

I also like the new kitchen in the main home- it looks like it's perfect for when they need to do cooking or whatever for their gatherings, charity dinners, etc.... I know that my friend will never be able to do huge dinners in his 1950s kitchen, with his 1950s appliances!

Beautiful home, thanks for sharing!

I love Audrie's room! I wish my room looked like that when I grew up at my parents' house. Unfortunately the house came with ugly wallpaper in my room, it was like... pea soup green with cream flowers... the house was built by a company called Flowers, so they had flower wallpaper all over. Bleh. I also love that family portrait in the master bedroom!

Nursery is awesome- great gender neutral colors and love the stripes!

I just love this house overall!

I like the house! It's funky, and I like funky :) I could never do pink for my bedroom though- even though yours looks fantastic. I'd probably fight and fight against it, until we settled on something like light teal or whatever! Love the orange barber chair too!

Those lights and the garden are definitely something that I could make... love the sink! I've been to public restrooms that had similar sinks, and as long as the faucets didn't shoot water out with great pressure, water didn't splash around everywhere.
