SHOW ME YOUR...... saucy rentals? Like where you're not allowed to paint & such. :)

We've covered it before as an SUY subject, http://community.livejournal.com/saucydwellings/1541433.html, and I would love to see if we have any more that could be added to the post.

I hope you find something helpful in there!

Wow I love that! What a great, cheery idea. :]
I feel the kitchen should be a happy place.

Picked this up at an estate sale last weekend, and for a good price.

Oh, but how cool it would be red! :)

lepapillonvert March 2 2010, 17:29:12 UTC

I think so too, but I'm holding off until we find a house.

lifeismagic March 2 2010, 15:21:03 UTC

ha, i do that too -- when in doubt, paint it bright red! do it!

or ... you know, a dark blue would be pretty hot with the white candles. or go with the bamboo and do a light green?

Show my your saucy fireplaces!

We are bidding on a house that has a truly fugly brick fireplace sticking out into the middle of a combination living room-dining room at a 45 degree angle :( We may just take it out and have no fireplace, but we're also thinking of spending the money to put in a really nice one.

Also, the house is on a busy corner. We're considering replacing the existing privacy fence with a better one, replacing windows, maybe getting a water feature to help block the sound of traffic in the corner bedroom. I'd love to see/hear your ideas and solutions!

Re: fireplaces and privacy/sound barrier crybabyjuju March 2 2010, 16:15:25 UTC

I agree, show us some fireplaces!

Re: fireplaces and privacy/sound barrier a_cherry_on_top March 2 2010, 16:32:14 UTC

I don't think it's the kind of fireplace you're looking for, but I can't resist showing off the best part of my studio apartment: the working fireplace with the gorgeous mantel.

In action:

Perhaps we could do this as an SUY subject.

I'm expecting my first baby - a boy - next month. Here's a sneak peek of where we're at with his room so far.

Lots more to do still - but off to a good start.

Re: baby's room fitstabarmada March 2 2010, 17:06:21 UTC

I have to echo the awesome wallpaper comment. May I ask where you purchased it?

Re: baby's room piggy_suckfish March 2 2010, 18:15:01 UTC

Sure! It's an Orla Kiely pattern I purchased online here:
