Wonderful home, wonderful collections as well. I'm intrigued by the lounge chair in photo #17. It looks like it is made with a leather upholstered twin futon and a the frame of a lawn chair? Is this correct? if so - I love it. If not, I think I may assemble one myself and start a trend!

I have to admit - I was also cringing prior to making the jump to the after photo. I have seen some horrid spray-painted MCM renovations in blue, or two-toned and I didn't have the heart to see what you may have done to yours. But after seeing the results of your fine work - i applaud you and your good taste. Simply gorgeous!

You have done a wonderful job. The abandoned house has become a lovely home. My only worry is that you are renting and can never own this home?

Though as a long term renter myself, I know how it feels to fix a place up only to leave a few years later.

But comfort and making a place a home is the most important aspect of living in a rental and you and your daughter have made it such a lovely place.

from horrid to wonderful - love it!

Wow - what a spectacular home. I love your yard - funny how no one even mentioned the undulating grasses and the trio of fountains. I'm certain the soothing sounds of water trickle into your home in the evening and is divine!

I especially love the butterscotch dresser in photo #15 and the color chosen for the master bedroom.

The only thing that bothers me is the fact that you did not hide the CPU in next to your desk. That's a simple hide and it would make the office much less officey!

The photo of your doggy reminds me of that faraway glance Natalie Wood has in Splendor in the Grass! Love it!

Klaatu barada nikto! I love it!

wow - that's quite a lot of work to do in 6 months! i've been planning a paint job of my living room for twice as long! kudos on a job well done.

you place looks wonderful. a well balanced use of colors and patterns - brings it all together. i'm not a fan of the minty green you are using throughout certain rooms - but it does work as a color theme.

the only bummer i see, and i preface this with the fact that we pitched our tv set 9 years ago, is the dominance of the flat panel tv screen in the living room. i wish there were better ways to hide these sets (behind a large painting?) so they wouldn't dominate the space so much.

but other than that i really love your place and am intrigued by the exterior and entire housing complex. any more details and this would be helpful. thanks for sharing. edgaroso

Is this really all that practical? I'd love to see the floor after one waters these hanging gardens? I can see MAYBE doing them outside, but it seems they would be high maintenance to say the least!

Me and my partner live in my "gramma's home" and that's the way my family refers to it - and I am fine with it. In fact it's an honor for us to live in her home!

A dear friend of mine gave me Stephen Orr's book and it is wonderful. The book is packed with great, idea inspiring photography! Definitely one of the best gardening books I have... and I have many!
