beautiful home and definitely reflects quirky and fun personalities...thanks for showing us!

On a much more important side note - seeing the pics of your dog stopped my heart! Buck has the exact some coloring, marking, texture, same size as my one and only dog, Richie!

Richie has gone over the rainbow bridge for a few years now, but we spend 14 years together. He was Samoyed & Collie. Just wondering - what is Buck?

5 for us.

1 for the husband.
4 for me...one body pillow to hug, three pillows for my head arranged in a hill formation. I can't lie down fully anymore since vertigo...eek!


How Many Pillows Do You Sleep With?

Household of 2 people and 2 cats. We run it a few times a week, but not daily. If we don't fill it quick enough and a couple of days has past w/o running it, we will do the half load option. I like to empty it out about 15-30 mins after the cycle is finished while the dishes are still hot. That way, the moisture doesn't have a chance to condense and the dishes get wet again...

Furnish Green is great...we've gotten several items from them and are happy with our purchases. Nicest folks and negotiable in pricing. I do feel their prices have gone up, though...

We have Silver Fox in our bedroom and Sienna (the brown on the same card) on one wall. Love that Grey and Brown together!

Go for it!

Definitely stick with Room and Board. We saved up for a leather sofa and a custom media cabinet from them and didn't go out and buy "stand-ins".

I'm telling you...well worth it! The quality and customer service is awesome. These are pieces that we plan on holding onto for years and years and years...

I love a strong blue and yellow combo...in apparel and in home decor. combos like that paired with neutrals as a ground are quite beautiful.

A change in window treatment definitely makes a huge impact! We added curtains to our windows which already had double-cell blinds and we like the windows more than, for sure.

Don't forget the baseboards and ceiling fan. Get a dusting fluffy thing (too early for me to remember the name) with a long handle and just walk around your apartment for the baseboards.


8 Places Almost Everyone Forgets To Clean | Apartment Therapy Los Angeles

We have two cats and I have horrible allergies...

We use a HEPA vaccuum on floors and rugs (weekly) - half hour

Steam clean (we have HAAN) floors and rugs (weekly) - half hour

Steam clean upholstered furniture with hand held steamer - also HAAN (chairs, sofa) - this literally takes 5 minutes to do...really!

Roomba - daily

Above works great together as a multi-prong defense against cat hair, dander, etc. and has helped my allergies greatly.

Also - we have one of the IQ air filters...HUGE thing, but works great too!

we have the forte one at home and we love it! This coming from me who can't shower without a good amount of water pressure.

Of course, the husband and I each prefer different sprays, so we always get caught by surprise each morning :)

Roomba saves us a lot of time. We use it daily and with two cats around...it's a blessing to not have to worry about kitty hair and random bits of litter they trek around.

Turn the roomba on, sit back and watch some tv!

Nice! What a great idea - I've always thought mirrors were a bit too modern for me in the kitchen, but these antiqued guys look great!
