Manuela's Profile

Family Dinner! My (all displaced, mostly late 20s) friends and I do this every Sunday night, going on three years. Some of us are housemates, most of us live in the same neighborhood. There is a core group of singles and non-singles; dinners are usually between 6 and 10 people. We take turns and each do the whole shebang - cooking and cleaning - so that every other week you show up and relax. You can be as fancy or non-fancy as you want (we've had 4 courses some nights, cereal others). We've always called it Family Dinner. And it's a good way to make sure that we displaced individuals have a community to check in with once a week.

Welcome!

It would be fantastic to see some easy DIYs (planters, trellises, plant combinations, etc.).

Looking forward to reading your posts!

As many others have said, this is one of the only entries thus far that made me -stop- and really take my time clicking through.

There is a consistent thread tying everything together here - but not necessarily obviously. Other contestants may have one or two superficial color applications, whereas this place seems designed through and through.

Try out this combo - I threw together the plum and espresso with a couple grays and a mustard - or play with the tool yourself.

Wow, I'd love to see a pic of the gesso window...

Would be a great addition.

Exellent feedback on Paris. What about graduate programs for various design fields in Europe? London, Vienna, Berlin, anywhere?

Thoughts on other places in Europe?

Rotate! Over the sofa, your red pillows will really make the flowers pop.

Mm lovely.

Cream of mushroom sounds good to me too.
