LOL! “Real designer” here, and I am in fact reading your blog. Giant hugs for you, and all of your non-marching accessories. I may start sending my clients to this post when their eyes glaze over as I prattle on about scale, proportion, and depth. Bravo! :)

I am so happy to have found your blog and these tips. My husband and I are desperately trying to redecorate or actually decorate for the first time and on a pauper’s budget!!! We are great at giving furniture a facelift, but I can’t seem to put it all together. Thanks for the great tips!

I just recently started following your blog and added your blog to my list of favs. you are so funny and witty which makes your blog so entertaining. I also rent so I’m always looking for others who are in the same boat because I dont’ want to invest too much into the house but I still want a nice house. I like your shelves {the tin metal ones} and would like to know where you got them? I am slowly finishing up my family room and think I would like to get some like that, something a little different. I like the texture. I think I saw some at the Rosebowl…when I went so I’ll have to make a trip out there. Anyways love your blog wanted to say Hi!

LAYER!!! THAT’s the part I have a problem with!! I LOVE the layer look, but I can never pull it off quite right – I’m in the middle of changing my decorating style (from prim country to a more clean fresh look) – so it’s a bit overwhelming, I want to change EVERYTHING – but can’t afford to – I know I could just move a few things around to start getting the new looks I want………..ahhhh, will you come help me? LOL I’ll bake cookies and make lattes!!

Adore those turquoise lamps! I have some in my bedroom right now! And the Stephen Drucker comment made me laugh. I always get nervous when a professional interior designer comments on my blog, as I am sure I am committing some atrocity. :-)

I HAVE TO HAVE THE BLUE LAMPS! Yes, I am screaming. I have looked everywhere for at least one in that blue color and cannot find it anywhere. You probably actually made them out of hand thrown clay, but I am not so talented. Please help.

I remember once seeing a cute half wall and since then have always kept that idea tucked away in my memory….. The half wall separated the kitchen from the family room. The drywall on the family room side was removed and staggered shelves were built in. Every shelf was trimmed and finished with wood and painted to look like distressed wood. Although the shelves weren’t very deep because the wall isn’t very wide, it was enough room to put in some cookbooks, toys and other “pretties”. A really fun and adorable look. Have fun – whatever you end up doing!
