I'm totally bookmarking this one for inspiration for my wedding. This is the closest I've seen to what I want! How beautiful!

Now I just have to find a location as stunning as this.

I love chalkboard paint. I'm an artist and nothing makes me happier than to draw something that is just for me, something that isn't permanent. I can change it every day, or leave it up for weeks. I can draw beautiful art nouveau ladies, or mermaids, or monsters. I also use dry erase markers on mirrors. ^_^

Thanks for the gay mice thread. So often people get so prissy and stuck up their own butts on AT that they can't laugh at a joke. Very refreshing. ^_^

That would probably work really well for me. I'll keep it in mind for when I finally get my own place.

I've SEEN the Dr. Seuss taxidermy in person. It's SO COOL!!!

Someday I'm gonna buy me one. Someday.

I dunno, if anything qualifies as porn it's these bathrooms.

I imagine myself lounging in the tub of the Residenza Napoleone III.

I love the moldings they really bring some flash to the room. A little Diner pizazz.

I want to live here....now. ^_^ It's such a comfortable and open space, despite being technically cramped. The glass cabinets really help with that. I fully appreciate the house's character.

If I'm gonna clean I have to get into a rhythm, which means it's better if I do it on a saturday or one day a week instead of in bits the whole week through.

My hated chores that are going to be delegated to my fiance when we move in together will be dishes, folding of laundry, and taking out the trash.

I prefer my showers hot and steamy. It couldn't possibly get steamy enough in that great room. I'd also worry about the effects of the moisture on my bedding and furniture. Not to mention, especially with the shower, where do you place your shampoo and conditioner and soap and everything? Anything to hang it up would make it cluttered and destroy the purpose of the austere shower.

I love it. It looks like a childhood chintz. It might look better with a smaller selection of colors though.

While I am the black sheep eco-friendly one of my family, I was raised wearing leather boots and fur jackets. So I do appreciate that fashion.

I don't go out looking for furs and such but heirloom furs have been given to me and I cherish them very much.

This reindeer, being sustainably raised sounds like a great buy to me.

The magazine photo was used a couple of months ago for the same article.

Those of us that have that many books, prefer to keep them out of harms way and make them useful by reading them. Others prefer to buy a $50 coffee table rather than $50 plus for each book.

My cat much preferred his own little spot. We had a basket lined with blankets underneath an end table that was cornered in by two couches.

He loved being able to lounge in his own, private area (that even the dog couldn't really get to) that was nice and closed in, yet still right at the center of the family's every day life.

So I recommend putting the bed in a cozy space, rather than treating it like another chair.

I personally don't think the royal we is a big deal. You know it's one person. It just doesn't matter. There are better things to worry about.

And I think this is very pretty. I might have to put this to use in a few years.

If I had more than one cat or dog then no I wouldn't leave the t.v. on as they can comfort each other. But if it's just one cat at home or one dog at home, I'll leave the t.v. on (like if I'm gone for a weekend...not just a day.)

My old cat used to watch t.v. so it seemed nice to let him watch it while we were gone.

Cute stuff. I'm in the midst of packing to move right now and this would liven it up a bit. ^_^

I'd pick the bottom left picture. I love all of the different colors, it makes it look fresh and draws your eye around the space, making it much more interesting.


Apartment Therapy Chicago | Bathroom Color Choice: What Do You Think?

As a poor college kid, I've been eyeing this throw for the past month, debating on buying it.....more debating on how soon I will buy it. Probably next week.

While rather busy, for someone with limited ways to bring pattern and color into their space, this is perfect (and cheap).
Not to mention, when I move to a less dramatic bedspread this would be great on the couch, or just to cover up with on a cold winter day.

Maybe I'm crazy but I think it will be a lot less intimidating in person.

looks like something out of the movie Shock Treatment. lol.

A little bit too busy for my tastes. I think it would clutter up the room, and you want it in your living room, not the laundry or bathroom. The cat is a part of your family and should have a space with the family.

I'd much rather build my own abstracty cat tower that double functions as a bookshelf.
