Art or not, these are fanfuckingtastic!

I used to live in a house that had several rooms painted in sherbet and peach tones, and they were wonderful rooms because they were cheerful during the day and warm and inviting at night. You did well.

kjmwrites -- About the bed, I have one that is similar and it was made by Wesley Allen. Quality is good and I recall the price being very reasonable. I have had it for several years.

Hate this. So tacky.

I was rocking the vintage luggage over a decade ago, and I still use my collection of 30+ suitcases for storage. I have stacks four-deep as "end tables" by the couch and bed. Bottom ones work well for xmas decorations, photos, old receipts, and other stuff you don't need all the time. The top suitcase is the one I use to stash my laptop and cords, current bills and mail, stuff like that. The suitcases also work well under beds because they hide the clutter and keep dust off of seasonal clothes, extra blankets, etc. You can also use luggage tags to ID what is in each suitcase.

I think this is an environmentally responsible alternative to a disposable dish, and one that others will envy! There are lots of disposables that recycle, but none that will save the energy and resources of this glass dish. If I were your hostess, I would appreciate that you care enough about the environment to use sustainable glassware dish rather than a cheap plastic disposable, even if it means I might have to wash a few dishes. And what hostess likes to serve out of plastic anyway?!

I like your art, but the furniture placement is strange and would drive me crazy. The chairs at the foot of the bed make the bedroom look congested. Also in the second pic, so many chairs lined up in front of your other furniture, blocking use of the drawers in the chests.

I painted my old house SW Rookwood Blue-Green - on the outside! I always considered the color to be one that would be great inside too. The photo here looks just like it. Everyone loved it!

It really is a repro dry sink from the 70s or 80s. My grandmother had one and she displayed an antique pitcher & basin on the open part, which was never used for anything other than collecting dust. The closed side hid booze, so perhaps she was the innovator of the dry-sink-as-wet-bar concept.

My husband & I purchased 8 place settings in different colors for his mom for Christmas. It was fun watching her open each color & now his family has fun pairing different foods with the colors. In the past, they were reluctant to use matching dinnerware sets for fear of breaking a piece of a set. But with Fiesta, you can just mix and match! Also very durable. She calls all the time to rave about her dinnerware.

The fish tank is smart: They go belly-up and you don't have to go far to flush them!!
