rainbow!! ahhh me likey likey

I have been toying with the idea of taking on this exact chandelier as a diy project, but have been hesitating because of my complete lack of electrical knowledge. Thanks so much for this post. I may now actually try it.

I would love to know what colors you used in the living room and bedroom. They look different depending on what picture you look at. BTW, your place is awesome!

I love your idea of using high gloss and matte finish paint in the same color. I have been wondering what to do with my big blank wall in the living room and this has given me some inspiration.

I love this home. Thanks so much for sharing! I have been thinking about using slate in my bathrooms and after looking at yours, it has really inspired me to go for it.

I have this exact problem as well. 90% of my walls are concrete and hanging just a mirror is a big deal. Does anyone have any advise on how to hang things on concrete walls without having to hire someone? It seems silly to have to hire a person to hang a picture :)

I just bought my first home, a small, dated apartment with lots of potential! I was becoming discouraged with interior decorating websites because none seemed to apply to my needs. I was looking for fresh new ideas for small spaces. I am sooo excited I stumbled onto this website and have been addicted to it all week! AT has not only given me inspiration, but also some courage to play around with bold colors and unique furniture designs. The red chair is beautiful, and with my new found knowledge of interiors, I think it would be a great accent piece in my new home.

For everyone who has left comments complaining that going "green" is too expensive, I would just like to say this.

It seems that people are forgetting that you do not need to spend a dime of your money in order to start living a more environmentally friendly lifestyle. I live in the Virgin Islands where our electricity costs are triple what people pay in the United States and we depend on rain water to fill up our cisterns for our homes. Our "greener" lifestyle comes straight out of an economic need to keep costs down and to avoid emptying our cisterns before the next big rain. Most people cannot afford to replace appliances with these new fancy ones. We take matters into our own hands and have slightly modified our lifestyles to become as efficient with utilities as possible. We only use our A/C at night if it gets really hot, we turn OFF the water in the shower while shampooing and shaving, we only run the dishwasher, washer and dryer when totally full, we turn off EVERYTHING when we are not home, we never leave faucets running while brushing your teeth. I could go on and on.

Everyone can make a difference in their own way. Criticizing others for their efforts to become greener by spending money is unnecessary.
