NotPretAPorter's Profile

Kathleen, we have 2 bathrooms at my house. The one without a bathtub connected to the guest bedroom is the guest bathroom. That's not to say we never use it (especially if the main one is occupied) but it helps to name it that for reference.

A Pumpkin and a Princess: You did an incredible job! I haven't seen that pattern with those colors really, it makes it less moroccan and more just aesthetically pleasing, which integrates well with the rest of that bathroom's decor. And God I love orchids. (Excellent "eastern touch" that again makes it not too thematic but definitely gives the flavor.)

Great post, 4 and 5 are especially good advice. The unfortunate thing about the time rule is when you decide a week later you still really want it and it's gone! Thoreau is the man!

Great post, it's hard to purge sometimes. I find it helps to do it with a good friend or partner who knows you and can give you the honest "We both know you're never going to use this..."

Also, I'm glad to hear I'm not the only adult who still can't part with their rock collection. I found a shadow box with little compartments and put each rock in with a calligraphy label then hung it up! It looks like something you'd pay a lot of money for somewhere to give your house an anthro/ sophisticated naturalist look.

Same thing can be done with any little collection i guess..thimbles, crystals, or even a hodgepodge of little trinkets.
