A quirky novelty item, but I would n-e-v-er want one in my house.

In college, I had a roommate that was afraid of the dark, so she insisted on leaving a light on to fall asleep to. Which meant no sleep for me. I thought I could never live with another person until my next roommate who was amazing and considerate. I share a 2 bedroom with a friend now and she and I get along stupendously.
Being alone is alright for a weekend or so, but when I am left to my own devices I start...crying all the time? It's weird.

My boyfriend is into video games and if he ever wanted to start a collection all I would say is "ENNNN OHHH!" there is nothing worse than shelves upon shelves of stuff. If you have a collection, thats fine, just keep it put away somewhere.

My boyfriend and I cook in every Valentines day. This year we made Pad Thai, which was good, but not restaurant perfect. I'm usually a bully in the kitchen, so I let the bf be the chef and I just helped out. It really gave him more cooking confidence.

E. Love it. BUT, the kitchen is soooo nice as it is.

Love #9. Recipes are a great way to teach yourself how to cook, but they're really more like training wheels. I tell people "improvise! Trust your gut!", but it's really not helpful for people who don't have techniques down yet. (I just end up making people feel inadequate)

I'm a skull collector myself, but not everyone likes to indulge me. Good post.

Cowhide rugs? In the kitchen? While I enjoy the style quite a lot, I really question how she keeps all those animal skins clean.

What I'm wondering about #1 is how in the world they got that heavy looking cascading garland to stay in place! I'm always fighting the garland falling down. :( Also, is it just me or are there a lot of dead animal parts involved? Still love all of them, though.

A pretty room! I'd like to see a big ol abstract painting above the couch. I'm thinking golden yellows and orange. With a little bit of nerve and house paint, you could easily make it in an afternoon.

I myself am a fan of the blanket dress. I just wrap a throw blanket around myself, tuck the corner under my arm and proceed like I don't look like an insane woman.

Love me some cowhide. Although, when they are splotched like that they remind me too much of dairy.

Me! I live with a female roommate currently and all decorating is up to me. she just didn't have much artwork or furnishings to put up, so basically everything is mine. (which I prefer)
My boyfriend and I will be moving in together shortly and while I am definitely more opinionated and picky and have higher standards, he has ample taste and I really enjoy shopping with him. I would really hate if his answer was "whatever you want, honeybabe" We're also both artists, and collaborate on projects together.

The 4th one looks just like the Tardis! I'd love a navy but kitchen, as long as I have enough windows to light it up properly. Wouldn't want to get too gloomy.

Real nice, but a little to "put together" for me. I like the quirky accents but I'm missing the color and the spontaneity of it.

I like the middle 3 alright, but I think I would be afraid to overwhelm my bedroom or make it look too outdated.

I agree with a lot of people in that I really dislike these chairs. I mean, out of all the highly regarded fancy modern chairs, why choose these? Maybe I'm just being a party pooper, but if I had the money, it would be eases or George Nelson for sure.

Personally, I would find it strange to have pictures up of the people currently living in the house. (Like when you go to Sears or whatever and get big portraits of you and your husband and cat.) It's not really a matter of wanting other people to see them, but a choice of what you want surrounding you. I'd rather have items that have sentimental value around instead of family portraits. (also I hate portraits that sit on surfaces. Keep them on the wall)
