I HATE them - I think they are the worst. Yuck. I'm from Chicago - give me a bag light, crispy Jay's potato chips ANY day over those hard to chew kettle chips. They are like eating a bag full of roof shingles. How can you people stand them. They are an abomination. I guess it's one time where I'll take the newfangled cooking method over the old. That said - the VERY best potato chips I ever ate were from a little old Mexican lady at the Sunday market in Merida, Mexico who cooked them in her little pot of oil fresh each batch while you waited. So good! And not at all kettle-y either, so there.

Now *that's* a kitchen! And love the bathroom as well.
Also the cute touches - the throw pillows on the couch made from 1940's curtains? The globe in the kitchen... The soothing, pretty colors.

The 1st bedroom is so warm and homey. i could feel at home in this house. I found it funny that someone thought this all appeared cluttered - not to me, but then my style would best be described as "haphazard!" I thought it was well thought out and even restrained, subtle and understated.

Congratulations on doing a beautiful job and thanks for sharing! :)

Well, I love it. I would guess it's a work in progress (cuz of the money constraints) and I think it's hard to make less into more personally (a lot easier to use clutter and color than to minimize and make it look this good). The simplicity is good.

I like the spareness and cleanness of it all. Esp the fabulous blindingly white in the bathroom, tempered with the wooden sink cabinet. I would be happy to take a bath or shower in that bathroom and would emerge feeling cleaner than clean every time. And I would feel very happy cooking in that kitchen too!

Anyway - can you tell me where I can get that platform bed? I need one desperately. I'm going nuts with my mattress directly on the floor!

OMG - I'm inviting you all over to clean my kitchen - LOL!!! You guys are amazingly thorough and good cleaners of your kitchens. I guess I'm the only person who's going to admit to the fact that I HATE cleaning, & esp the kitchen. I thoroughly clean it about 2x a year and I really don't care. The areas that get used I clean them as I use them and there is no way I'm getting up there and wiping down the tops of cabinets, top shelves of cupboards, etc on a regular basis. But hats off to you people. My grandmother was like that, my sister is like that I am at the opposite end of the spectrum.

I am guessing 40's just to be contrary.
