I love this so much! I have a turquoise living room and orange lamps, and I always thought those colors look great together. This is particularly warm and inviting, and I love the glow of your lamps against the orange wall. I never would have thought of doing two toned walls, but with the chair rail, it looks clean and you don't have to decide which one to do! Great job!

I like to use a plastic shoe box from the dollar store to put all of my sandwich fixins' in. It is so easy to pull the whole thing out and slide it back in in one swoop, rather than gathering up the mayo, half a tomato, head of lettuce, cheese and lunchmeat and making multiple trips to get it out and put it all away. My husband and I were just discussing starting a home salad bar- prechop all of our favorite salad toppings and put them into some kind of divided container to encourage easy, fast salad lunches. We are looking for the ideal type of container for this. I envision a big square tupperware type of thing divided into 9 sections in a grid. Anyone seen such a thing?

I think they look way better in the after picture. Antique wood is fine if that's your style, but it's always better to conform the furniture to the person's style, not the person to the furniture's style. Don't listen to the naysayers, your makeover is awesome!

This is the other place that is a HUGE inspiration to me for funky spaces I'd like to model a business after: http://www.catalystranchevents.com/

you could superglue a bunch of clothes pins in a grid onto a big piece of wood and hang it on the wall! or attach dowels or knobs in a grid to the wood to drape over, rather than clip the scarves up. easy to remove and put back each scarf, and it doubles as art!

I went online to copy and paste the descriptions of my favorite chain restaurant (like Granite City, CPK, etc.) salads from their menus onto a spreadsheet that I keep in my purse for when I'm at the grocery store and need some inspiration. Basically the description of the ingredients in a salad is a recipe for it- you just have to figure out the dressing. So far, so good though! My all time favorite salad is the Asian Chicken Salad from Granite City- the beauty of it is the dual dressings- a cool creamy cucumber one tossed with the salad, and a zippy peanut sauce to drizzle over the top. Amazing!

I have an amazing vintage fan that is cool looking, completely silent, and most of all, built to last. It's being used in my bedroom every night. There is nothing wrong with choosing to have a little style. Some things might be cliches, but if they serve a function (even if the function is just that you love to look at it) then other people can mind their own business. Better that we have some accessories that are overplayed than just relying on buying a bed in a bag, or a complete room from a furniture store! It is possible that lots of people just happen to love similar things. It's how you work it into your personal aesthetic that makes it your own.

If you have the time, money, and ability to plan a fun party with thoughtful details, why not? It's a creative outlet for some people, leave them alone! I love sock monkeys, and think this is a great, gender-neutral idea that looks like tons of fun! Great job!

My favorite relaxing, mellow, beautiful dreamy music is Makes Me Feel Better by Honeychurch. Also, Eveningland by Hem is amazing. This is my favorite genre of music- does it have a name? Modern easy listening?

I love it! But you need to upgrade from the Target kid's section sheets. Not that I'm dissing them- I have the same ones! But with that super fantastic headboard, you need equally glam bedding! The color of the headboard is amazing.
