"she's a WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER. her demographic will be mostly women."
wow brian, i knew i'd get a comment on that!
please know i meant NO offense!! my husband AND i were very involved in every aspect of our wedding (i'm the painter in the family, he's the graphic designer, so we are both kind of anal about details which ends up in ridiculously innate arguments :) ) i know that more men than not DO care about things like their photographs and aesthetics, but unfortunately the wedding industry is geared towards women for the most part. I personally hate how men get the shaft in most wedding planning :)

wow, lots of negative comments....
she's a WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER. her demographic will be mostly women.
anyways, i think the office is inviting, feminine, light and airy, what people seem to want their photos, and wedding dress/ date to be... yes, the desk is tiny for two computers, but i could see her sitting with a client going through digital proofs, not working all day next to someone like that. the small table would be for interviews/ going over contracts/ final books, and the small credenza/ dresser could hold albums ready for pickup.

ok i'll defend the tv placement- they obviously like it there, it doesn't make them horrible people, sheesh. :) in our living room, there are two doors, two entry ways, the fireplace, and two windows in the living room, and no family room. there is honestly NOWHERE else to put the thing other than above the mantel, but it works for us, and keeps electronics way up high, away from wandering children's hands, and we could snake the cords through the wall into a closet making it seamless (have an infrared remote system). to each their own. i find it amazing what people gripe about.

finish tablets (whatevers on sale) or seventh generation tablets (looks like basically powder wrapped in some film- scored on sale plus a $2 coupon) works in hard water northeast Ohio here...but I also almost always use the pots and pans cycle which i think blasts the crud really good :)

guess I'm in the minority here. i love my bench (also have four chairs which migrate throughout the dining room and house for "flow" purposes). i wish i could get another bench for the other side of the table, but i've searched everywhere- solid wood, about ten plus years ago when pier one sold more substantial furniture. oh well.

I recently found (knock off) gel mats ($15!!), and I swapped out our plush kitchen rug for one by the sink and one by the oven. While I love the cushiness under my feet, and how open the kitchen looks now, I am seriously missing the rug. It warmed up the room, literally and figuratively, so I think it's going back in the next few days. Plus, our dog is a very sloppy drinker and I need something to sop up the water trail before one of us slips and falls on the tile. I never realized how much the rug caught all her water.

sorry, they are very cool (thinking of the miniatures at the Chicago Art Institute)..... but the main image just reminded me of the creepy creepy serial killer episodes on CSI a few years back.

i always bring toilet paper. it only takes moving someone once when you DON'T have that to realize how important it is. no, it's not glamorous, but TP, some soap and paper towels go a long way on moving day.
dinner (homemade or takeout/ delivery) also helps if you can provide. who wants to cook after a long day of hauling? :)

i just like that she has the slice of pie (?) sitting out, either to provide strength for cleaning, or as a reward for when she's done. smart :)

What Can I Do With Two Bags of Duck Parts?
Good Questions

we looked into this- at least in our area, the moves need to be short- to minimize settling of the house, and traffic needs to be shut down/ the route requires lifting or moving power lines for the day, trimming trees, etc. the cost was approximately $25,000. just for the move. Even calculating in buying a lot, digging a basement and new foundation, running electrical, plumbing, etc., the historical house we wanted ended up being too expensive (they had allowed the roof to leak for years causing VERY heavy - literally- plaster damage which would have further complicated the move). the house ended up getting demolished, after a company from California bought all the nice parts out of it and shipped it away (I live in NE Ohio), which I was happy it was preserved, but sad it wasn't staying local. Funny thing is, we ended up buying an old house 3/4 mile off the town square which is about a hundred years old according to property records, but the more we dig and look at the foundation and timbers, we think it's much older, and was moved from the square to it's current location about a hundred years ago. :)
