Ryanne do you own that apartment? Is it 1 or 2 bedroom?
Nope, we just rent.
Ladies, I love the Ugly chair, it even reclines! And besides, you can't beat a $15 thrift store find, lol.

I was outside on Sat. doing back yard weeding! How come grass and flowers don't grow in the winter but weeds do (and vigorously)?

With the frosts we've had in the last month our beautiful tropical plants are a gonner! Oye! I was so upset to see my lovely palmy fronds all brown and nasty...and my beautiful hibiscus plant! I hope it comes back!

I don't have my own house, but I've been working on my bedroom for quite a while. Its an ivory and white theme, and will have many accent colors, though mostly pink and green, because I have a green couch. I still have to hang up all my pictures, knick knacks, etc., but I am done painting. The walls are ivory, and I'm going to put up actual white lace as a border(if I can find some, I've been looking, lol. My bed, desk, and lightswitch and outlet plates are gold and white. The couch, antique sewing machine table and bedside table (antique pie warmer I got for $20.00), are wood, so I kind of ended up with a white side and a wood side. I will try to post a picture when it is done. My plan was always to post it in home and garden though, so I will probably do that, and just put the link here.

Ok, this looks like so much fun! I LOVE decorating. We don't have much money to throw into it right now. We rented the first 2.5 years we were married and just bought this house in October 07. My mom and sister came and helped me paint... it was SO fun! My next project is the baby's room. I have a lot of ideas, but it will take a while for it to come together. (My mom, sister, and I are making all of the baby bedding, curtains, etc!)
Here are 2 photo albums... the house when we first bought it (some with the other people's furniture in it)
and our painting/decorating
BTW... your homes are lovely! It's so much fun to see what other ladies are doing to decorate their homes! :)

Content- it looks like you and your friends gave your home so much personality. No wonder you had a good time. Isn't it fun peeking in on each other's lives?

I change stuff around, too. The first time I was explaining to my husband about having the whole house coordinate, I told him that I would take a picture or fabric and decorate as if I was going to place it in every room. He heard that I was going to put the same picture in every room of our home. I liked to never get him calmed down enough to listen to what I meant.

Thanks! The stripes in the kitchen are so much fun! They are only on the 2 end walls though so it isn't too overwhelming. The chair cushions are blue and the green just was what I wanted and I was amazed that it turned out well!
I know what you mean about having a consistent theme throughout the house. We move furniture around a good bit too... Our living room, family room, and hallway, were all painted a grey/very light purple color with white trim and blue accents in various places. But I have a multi-colored rug (from the apartment to cover the stains on the carpet!) that ties almost anything together!! it works beautifully!

Yesterday I dug out my fabric collection and decided to make a slipcover for our microwave cart. HERE is the (almost) finished product, I still need to wash it so that it shrinks a wee bit.

Cute Ryanne!!
I bought fabric yesterday to recover my dining room chairs with. I pulled one chair apart to figure out exactly how to do it and it's going to be pretty easy.
I may try to finish them off tonight. I bought tons of extra fabric!! Walmart is clearing out their fabric section and it's all 25% off. The fabric was only $3 a yard to begin with, so I got 5 yards... on the chairs I think I'll end up using maybe 2 yards. I would love to find a few more chairs that could blend in with the ones I've got, and recover them to match.
Our table came with 5 chairs- such a funny number!! I'd love 3 or 4 more dining room chairs, as we often have larger groups of company over.
I'll post pics when the project is done!

Plus, I tend to make up products in my mind... I want an shelving unit, but I have made up the height that I need... or I need a fruit bowl for my kitchen, but have made up the design that would fit perfectly on my cabinet and still hold enough fruit for a week.
