Agree with RobFan. With all the social networking and such I don't feel alone. That being said - I LOVE living alone! I have lived by myself for the last 3 years and it. is. so. liberating. I know that this will help me choose well and with a sound mind if I ever decide to remarry... too much at stake to lose! LOL

:(... still not liking the new format. I used to check this site abut 3x a day. Now it's once every three days and I'm not feeling it. I understand you need to change things and whatever, but the new design is cold and uninviting. RIP my old friend apartmenttherapy.

Couldn't stand it for a minute there. But since I don't live there, glad the owners (renters) are happy.

I guess I'll get used to the new format... And I'm all for change! I'm one of those that welcomes the FB format changes! This one, as one reader said, is lifeless and very sterile design-wise... I assume you'll work on that ...gradually? Right? Hmmmm...

Love your artwork... you definitely have an eye for picking it out. And I second Uwe Preul's comment! I live in NC, a half hr from the TN border and the thought of a place like yours in the middle of the foothills made me grin ;)

Yikes... read through the comments and I can't help but wonder if you're not feeling any less lost now...

I decorate with looks and function in mind (acquired throughout the years by trial and error) but truth be told if you are going to do a photo spread of my place I would definitely hide the likes of the dog bed (the current one being a heap of blankets in her fave spot), the broom and pan that is ALWAYS not in it's place, and declutter my entryway table. For instance ... I could go on.

Yes, I place it on the fridge every single year and glance at it maybe 2 or 3 times during the year... LOL

I love how they style their catalog... And you're absolutely right! What a difference good lighting and the right angle make in a photo!

I agree with the other posters that said that the lonely chair at the end of the bed looks... awkward. I don't have room in my bedroom for a bench, but I wish I did! Would drop my clothes off on it until I was ready to put them up.

Love Maxine's.... it's the type of room where you can just imagine and see making so many memories there. Love it.
