Love it! Love the art, love the colors, love the simplicity, love everything! Your home is wonderful! I need more exclamation points!!! I wish there was a pic of the kitchen or office area. I especially love the stuffed toys on the bed!

I draw the line at any pillow that has beads or sequins cause I literally sleep on ALL the pillows. I mean it's like princess and the pea in my house! There my head pillow, my over the head pillow, the standing up on its side pillow so the fan doesn't get me pillow, one for my knee, one I like to touch with my foot cause it's soft, one is fake boyfriend when i'm single...
So, yeah, all the pillows. But all real pillows.

I prefer to think of the people sitting on my furniture an investment. A $5k couch isn't gonna get my date pants off any faster than a $500. Unless he's the kind of guy that cares about how much $ I spend on a couch. And if you're that type of bloke you can put your pants back on and get out! Quality can be cheap. But cheap quality can also be expensive. Furniture is a hooker. Just because you spend more $ on it doesn't mean that it will love you back.

I am glad to see most of the comments here are of the politely helpful variety. I guess people who discuss manners are mannerly people! I think things like table setting, please/thank you, walking properly, are all small things that instill much deeper understandings in children as they grow. Kids learn that there appropriate and inappropriate way of behaving depending on where you are. As in dining behavior is different than hanging with your friends behavior. I think this is missing from many children nowadays not because they are bad kids but because their parents resist the "hoity-toity, fancy-schmancy" manners enforced by previous generations. On one hand this is a good thing. Impeccable homes often hid horrible domestic abuses. Parents who were "strict" disciplinarians were often of the abusive kind. Also, manners sometimes seem a disguise for people vicious inner intentions. Take the Southern lady trope for example. I have a frined who says "bless your heart" when she means "you are f***ing stupid". Or when folks say "God bless the gays" when you know they think homosexuality is an abomination. Or when women are demonized for not being "ladies" yet men do not have to be gentlemen. How disengenous and hypocritical! Sometimes manners are used like a veneer to hide judgemental and vitriolic sentiments. I guess what I am saying is that good manners make everything more enjoyable but that they are a tool to be used for the betterment of society. But that good manners don't make good people, just as bad manners don't make bad people. Though it is nice to know how to set down a teacup without making a mess!

At first I was like, "Ugh!". Then I was like, "Well...". Then I saw the closet and was like, "F**K it, allright, I'm in!"

Has anyone tried those upside down planters? I am always tempted to buy one but they seem like a pipe dream. Anyone have luck with them? Or those upside down tomato ones?

More pics please! LOVE all the art work!

I'd say "cozy" but i'll be honest and say really it's "crowded". Hahaha! I'm an artistic type and struggle with storage and organization. Also I'm a stacker. Stacks of books, boxes, papers, dishes... lol! I'm not a pack rat because ,surprisingly enough, everything I have I use. Investing in storage with doors is a priority for me to keep my place an eclectic, witch's cottage rather than a dirty, hobo's shack. :)

I had the same problem. I got a huge Wutang concert screen print from etsy for about $50. It looks so cool! It was so hard putting it up but sweat and elbow grease is free and the result is awesome. I think, getting a large print from an artisan is the most cost effective way of decorating tall areas. You can always check your local arts college for some cheap (relatively) artwork. Also, tapestries look super cool hanging from high areas.

that lamp is awesome! personally I would leave it as is and give a nice black silk lampshade. You know, goth it up! But for you maybe a bright fuschia or coral (think India!). Good luck!
