Funny, I justed noticed a pair of eyeglasses on the tank in one of the other bathrooms on this site (not in this group)... I was sort of thinking if the eyeglasses were for a man-it might be a good idea to put them on before... well... lets just say I now have some additional insight into why I dread cleaning day....

re: entryway storage... recently we moved into a new place that had no entry closet etc... we had no idea what to do, and little funds we wanted to spend on it, so we got creative with some old items we had....for instance we had three antique boxes (or shelves?) that we never knew what to do with so we made them into coat hangers with some hooks from Ikea.... we also had an old 'jamcupboard' that we did not like but decided to take the doors off of it and use it in the entryway.... no idea if all this looks okay but take a look...

Is that a large oven glove on the chair?

Hi, I realized that I had not made my photo album public (post above with link to our similar dining room)... You can take a look now if you are interested...

Hi!

How about some shelves? Or a picture rail (my sister has some in her dining room with some family photos on them and it looks very nice)...

Our dining room is very similar to yours...we originally had a hutch but then sold it because it made things too cramped.... we put in some floating shelves instead....take a look..

We have very similar chairs...we just bought our chairs (craigslist)...we plan to recover them and likely get a vintage teak table...(currently we have them at a homemade harvest table that suited our old style but we are slowly moving to a more mid century style)....

If you are tired of the traditional night-lights I would suggest just having your cell phone recharger in the room....casts a nice glow....

A couple of nights ago I looked around our bedroom and marvelled as all the green glowing electronic gadgets (my husband works from home and is currently situated in our bedroom...not recommended).... there was a red lighting flashing from a phone message, a lovely green glow from our cell phone charger, another glow from our cordless phone.... I have since relocated these things and wonder how well we could have been sleeping with all this light pollution....

I find them to be part of our decor...my husband and I recently noticed that plants are almost never shown in any design magazines/books and we wondered if having plants was "dated" or maybe they are simply removed from all photos for others reasons...maybe its just the mags we have?

Hi, great place.... it has given me a lot of inspiration....

- your doll head gave me the idea of putting one just like that in my husband's closet (he has a porcelain doll phobia-the eyes you know?)
- the lighting is wonderful
- love the tierred bookcase (no place can have too many bookcases imho), love the window seat
- I like that you have used the closet for an office (I have eyeing our closet for the same purpose) and I have a harvest table I have been thinking of painting white and after seeing your table I might do it now....
- I like the pen holders! I am a sucker for office supplies...
- I like the idea of using the pet basket for albums (I am pissed now that I just got rid of our pet basket in a garage sale--was using for wood at one point but now we have gas)
- like the green paint colour and also like your blue office chair...

Great place!

This place looks like fun--midcentury works really well with kids and we are transitioning over to it...(now I could scream at some of my old pieces that I got rid of years ago--cast offs from my inlaws)...anyway, I feel a sudden uncontrollable urge to run out and buy 8 Eiffel chairs....can't decide on which colour though....

Staging makes me hurl....it is like airbrushing....anyway, there is a lot I liked about this place but I give it two thumbs up for the simple reason that when looking at the pics I seriously want to live there...or would seriously want to hang out there...Enjoy!
