lol@sabrina-- Yep.

Unless perhaps you work in the plumbing industry, I think it's kind of difficult to get excited about a toilet, provided it's there when you need it and it does what it's supposed to do. I mean, you can't really show it off to your friends (let alone ask them for feedback) the way you can with the new sofa. And you (hopefully) wouldn't send out announcements as though there were a new baby in the house.

I’m a Gen-Xer, and I want to garden the way I remember my grandmothers doing it (more organically, with heirloom plants, etc.)—just on a smaller scale, due to time and space constraints, and because I don’t want to get into canning and my freezer only holds so much. I want to garden for the fun of it rather than out of necessity, I suppose. They grew a wide variety of vegetables and flowers, while my boomer-generation parents were more of the type to bomb the whole yard with chemicals, plant a few annuals, mow the grass, and call it good. Big box garden centers seem more geared toward that kind of “gardening,” which is more about the lawn than beyond it, and they don’t make it easy to do organic.

Very stylish! Note to self: Must stencil curtains...

This place has lots of great things going for it. I especially like the z's by the bed, and since so many have mentioned the rug, I'll ask instead, where did the tiny deer head come from?

Great view!

Love the use of prints in this place. And now that I think of it, I used to hide the vacuum that way too, once upon a time.

I think I *just* made a pledge to myself to be a senior citizen in Key West one day. So glad you entered your home-- thanks for letting us see how you live!

I love all the little compartments there are to open and explore in that nursery-- brilliant!

Really well-thought out pieces-- I agree that it seems unusual to have a room that has so many different functions these days. More people should try it! And as for the yellow file/seating/coffee table-- where was that found, please?

Usually once during this contest each year, I see a shower curtain that I will fall in love with. It looks like this is it this time... Source, please?
