LadyRoy's Profile

I have a bed from the 40s with this ornate footboard I don't want to cover up (or damage), so there is nothing there but rug and walking space. The matching vanity does sit about 4 feet away on the opposing wall, so the space is visually complete.

Excellent! I love the colors. Also, my grandmama had the "blue lady" (or "Lady with a Green Face", as it was). Grandpa hated her; Grandma loved her. She wound up in the guest room in which I always spent the night.
No clue what happened to her though. *sigh* Memories.

*droool* I adore the bed/bath space. Wonderful light.

My husband apparently had a greenhouse in the over-sized bathroom of his first apartment. Tomatoes. Bell peppers. Herbs. His father has always had these insane cherry tomato plants in his hot tub room (floor to ceiling madness).
We've since grown herbs, and I keep bugging him to teach me his family's indoor garden secrets. This might be the year since we no longer have a shared garden plot, but do have a sunroom in the southeast corner of our new space. :)

I separate items by size (more or less) in wooden cutlery bins, though I too would ask: "if you know what's in it, is it a junk drawer?"
It's a "detritus of life" drawer: cup hooks, curtain rings I don't need at the moment, but might if I switch drapes, take away menus, a bike repair kit, batteries, ceiling hooks waiting for some plants. A lot of this, I would put in small containers on a shelf somewhere if I had more closets, but I don't. I have a kitchen full of drawers. I has to bear a lot of weight.

This is a very timely post. I've been in a place for a month now and trying to be careful about placement, but I'm already getting tired of the swaths of empty wall in my dining room, bedroom and office.
I think the second one is my favorite.

My love of etsy is many-fold. Like many others, I adore the unique items. I grew up with artist parents who gave up on making a living from their art because there just wasn't a way to make it readily accessible to people outside our relatively small town.
I really enjoy vintage clothes, but I have a hard time pawing through masses of clothing on racks. If I can see the form of a piece on a model, by itself, unsurrounded by zillions of conflicting patterns, I'm much more likely to buy.
Etsy also gives me a variety of recycling ideas for the things I have that still have life in them, but I'm tired of in their current format.
