Yvette's Profile

You gave this apartment its self-respect back. I hope you win.

I adore all the character and personality that are in the spaces this year! Also, your couch, I want it.

I just can't stop looking at it. So beautiful. Congrats on restoring that gorgeous old tub.

A little Dorothy Gale, a little Rene Magritte. I like them.

@Moxie my bedroom is painted a similar color, Behr's Valley Mist.

It seems normal to me. Not like a 'statement' or anything, just normal. I grew up in a house with major book overflow, so books ended up in every nook and cranny. In grad school, any of my friends who had non-working fireplaces had their extra books stored there too.

I don't have a fireplace, but if I did, my books would be in it.

I hate to agree, because I love the content, but the re-design is much too busy. Sidebars -everywhere- and then ribbons on top of it all?

For me, all subway tile summons up memories of my old school gym and cafeteria (especially when done with dark grout.) I honestly cannot figure out what the fuss is all about.

Tempur-pedics seem to be the choice for people with my disorder (where rolling over in bed can cause a shoulder or hip to partially or fully dislocate.) But like you, I dislike memory foam and all the heat it retains.

For that reason, the next mattress I buy will probably be one with plenty of natural materials.

Um, I'll take her sheets and her bed if she's done with them.

I prefer the before as well, but I think of the bedroom as the most personal room in the house in more ways than one. It's no place to be goofing around with popular trends that you don't actually like the look of.
