Soo I have such a LOVE for design, but have gotten pretty discouraged and have felt like I can't do it any more because I haven't been able to see a room come together since we have moved 6 times in the past 3 years. If I had to pick one space in my home I think it would be our living room, which is the first room you see as you enter our home.

I won't get on my soap box but what the banks have done to homeowners is horrible. I have actually closed one of my accounts at a major bank and gone to a small credit union to do my banking. I can not support the major banks any longer. Okay now I am off my box. Enjoy your home through your blog, I have post on my someday room. I have no idea when it will happen but boy do I enjoy planning and dreaming.

This crisis that we are going through has hit so many people in different ways...you are so strong!! <br /><br />I just moved into a new home in June....we have a mirror on the wall, that. is. it. I bought it at a garage sale with inspirations to refinish it...I could REALLY use your help, but I think I would like it in our master bedroom. Even in our old house I NEVER did anything in there...we could use that getaway :)<br /><br />JJenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05670461484716823074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8944273077019168833.post-10396134479836806732010-11-05T07:46:41.450-06:002010-11-05T07:46:41.450-06:00Just found your beautiful blog--thanks for the lov...Just found your beautiful blog--thanks for the lovely images.

Three and half years ago my life was turned upside down in the matter of minutes when we lost our house and everything in it to a tornado. It is hard to look at your children and tell them how sorry you are that you were not better insured and can't replace everything. But I told them until they believed me that we are what makes our home, not our possessions or the colors on the walls. And a couple of months ago my 16 year old daughter told me, "Mom this is home now" Just takes time and patience. Good luck in all your endeavors.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09549953761845516287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8944273077019168833.post-58801529259191795032010-11-04T08:18:01.410-06:002010-11-04T08:18:01.410-06:00You are a huge inspiration to thousands of people....You are a huge inspiration to thousands of people.

I constantly show pictures of your homes to my husband and ask "can we do this???" He loves your pictures also. You have been dealt a nasty hand lately, but he courage and strength that you have shown has been inspirational. It is so sad that our economy is where it is today. I hope nothing but the best for you in the future. You have a talent and no matter where you are, you will shine!<br /><br />I would love to have a makeover for my master!

The sexy lil chaise longue that we thought would give the space a boutique-hotel vibe is a dumping ground for piles. The windows that dominate one wall are so unusually sized and shaped that we haven't been able to find curtains for them, and "temporarily" hung old sheets. Again, two years ago.<br /><br />The room has great bones: 20'x25' with 15 ft ceilings, bay window alcove dominates one wall with a gorgeous view, hardwood floors, and good furniture. <br /><br />We just need a solid kick-start.positdesignhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03354647334081854520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8944273077019168833.post-43019337893114101802010-11-03T11:41:28.963-06:002010-11-03T11:41:28.963-06:00I'm in need of desperate help with my living r...I'm in need of desperate help with my living room.
