DDDPanama's Profile

I love this post!!! This is about REAL style... not $$$$. I love the bed headboard ~ too cute. Love that the pictures hang askew. Love that the blackboard paint on the walls is rough around the edges. This couple has a true eye for design.

Gorgeous.... and his place is nice too!

I bought a historic home with a big front porch that had a swing and old wicker furniture. I painted everything black and ordered custom cushions (black/white stripe) from customcushions.net. I was very pleased with the quality and the cost. I also used them for bench cushions and window seat cushions for indoors. They are a great source.

I would love to know a source for the LONG floating shelves. I haven't been able to find any of that length.

I would love to know the source for the driftwood stain.

Chandelier painting.... gotta have it.

Bathroom?

Wow. This reminds me of the 70's when radio stations would! cover the walls of the DJ booth with egg cartons. But... it really works.

I love many of the rustic pieces. But it's too cluttered for me. It reminds me of my stepmother's house who's an artist. An very elderly relative came over for Thanksgiving dinner and she innocently asked, "Are we at a garage sale?"

I didn't realize my ex-husband's influence on me until after my divorce. He, along with my teenage daughters, always gave me a hard time about wanting everything organized. They made me feel just like the neat freak husband in "Sleeping with the Enemy". They constantly teased me about it. I worked hard NOT to be too organized.

Now that I'm divorced and my daughters are grown, I relish an organized home. I've discovered that when I'm stressed, I merely clean out a closet or the pantry and somehow I feel better. My life runs smoother and it's a lot cheaper than "retail therapy".
