Psquare's Profile

I'm fortunate enough to have visited Hemingway's home. His garden is so beautiful, and the way the house is set up if you open the huge doors in the main hallway the air flows through so nicely. Of course, the whole island is beautiful. ;)

I feel left out. :( I use those little black clocks with faux wood panelling. I had a childrens version of the dream machine when I was little that had a star night light on it. :)

My landlord has allows me to do repairs as needed and take off the rent. Last month our refrigerator went out. He let us go ahead and buy a new fridge (scratch and dent for $447) and keep the remainder of the $600 rent to replace all the food that was spoiled. :) Likewise we don't have to pay for the new carpet, mailbox, deck stain, or anything else we will need to do to the house.

I am a product of the '80s, and I remember having as much stuff as these pictures. I am actually having to force myself (now that I have graduated from college and am renting a house) to expand my wardrobe for work, decorate the place that I live, and actually unpack all of my boxes!

If you have a camera with a chargeable battery, before you do your first charge you should run the battery until it's dead. The initial charge sets up how much juice your battery can hold, so you want to start from zero. At least, that's what I've been told. ;)

I have this same problem it seems every time I move. It's just all brown everywhere. I have an orange ottoman, white rugs, and green curtains. Definitely add some colorful art or storage (hooks, shelves) to the walls. I think shelves would allow you to add even more colorful things. I'm going to use my grandmother's paintings.

I'm getting a new cell phone this year, since the puppy chewed up my (3 year old) current one. :)

I would use them. :) Grandmas very rarely bought things just to sit around and be pretty. I really love the shoe box idea. Every time you pull them out, it will be like a gift from grandma, and you can think of all the happy holidays you spent with your family at grandma's every time you use them.
