I've been a bad...so I need it too

Hi Everyone,
Thanks for the nice comments.
I'm going to try and answer some of the questions people have asked.

A lot of people have commented on my front door. To be honest it wasn't that hard. It's actually a solid core door from Home Depot. Then I cut some holes for the window frames and had glass cut. SO, it may not be as super high end as Crestview (which i think are really nice) but with some paint and stain it works really well. The name of the paint is Newburg Green by Benjamin Moore.

idea chick, The name of the paint in the den is glacier lake (I think). The bedroom was like that when i moved in.

Atomicranch79, The artist is my dad. He's super talented and this was a different style for him. Here's his website http://madcharooriginals.home.att.net/. He also did the one in the bedroom (and is going to do a third.) Then I'll get them all framed and hang together.

Mflick, I Got it from Wesley Treat it was his first one and I'm super happy with it. I've always something like this (in fact there was one or two for sale but the didn't work and I wanted it to work.) This one is because it's all modern wire and i can adjust the speed of the lights and how fast they move. Here's his link http://www.roadsideresort.com/

Great home but where's all of your 'stuff?'

wild-er, that made me laugh. Well, I did clean up a little bit but that is my "stuff". I'm single and live be myself, so it's easy to keep clean. Sometimes.

redchairs, you are correct. In my zeal to get the pics and info to Sarah at AT (btw she was patient and awsome) I mislabed that. I don't know why because I 've been wanting one foe years. I'm sure I misspelled a word or two. I'm a art director not a copywriter :)

kdear, talk with some people in the biz in your area,Call up some agency and ask for an informational interview or better yet check to see if there are some "ad schools" around. They are mostly 2 year. Networking helps too.

Again thanks for all the nice comments.
Let me know if you have any other questions.

I have/had the same problem. I had metal blinds from HD for a while but they got dusty and I just didn't like the look of them after a while.

I went to blindschalet.com and order some roller shades that offer some sun screening when down but I can roll them (almost) all the way up to get the view of the woods across the street from me. They have a nice color selection and styles with different options of privacy. Check them out.

BTW I really like your sofa and the door is awesome.
