I installed it in my son's room and loved it so much that I put it in another room and plan on doing another room soon. So easy to maintain and much quieter.

Ooh, can I ask how durable that is?

I'm a wheelchair user and am looking to refloor my bedroom, living room and hallway.
I've been looking at wood, but I know cork can be very sustainable.
I'm just worried about my heavy electric chair wrecking anything.

How you display your children's artwork

Love the chandelier.

I don't have kids, but I've had this photo saved in my inspiration folder for one day in the future:

Cute idea - I'll have to keep it in mind! Just last night, the hubby and I were talking about looking for easy change frames for kid art...

What a great idea. Thanks!

I've been slowly chipping away at unfinished projects in the house, sorry for the last of sauciness in the photos. I'm just excited to have something to post.

I've been reworking the wall over my fireplace, I'm finally really liking it. Now that I've got a direction I'm going to redo the lampshade into something else. I'm thinking more of a mulberry color, and I'm considering painting the iron of the lamp lime green since it is fashioned like a flower. thoughts?

The cuckoo clock was a salvage gift from a friend, I glued it back together and painted it a beautiful chameleon paint that is blue/violet. Sadly you loose the color change in photos. The frame was also a gift that I repainted and I couldn't afford to go have a mirror cut for it at the moment so I used some 'looking glass' spray on the glass that came with it.

(click photos to see better quality larger ones.....or more of the room)

grumpins February 18 2011, 23:48:40 UTC

Love this. All the color makes me so happy. Definitely go with the lime green.

Lol follow up on my small Ikea rant last week.

My bed broke and my dresser is wonky and my timer doesn't work but I called and customer service is great. I didn't have my receipt but they were able to look it up and gave me a replacement bed for free and money back for the timer. I didn't even bring up the dresser, though, because there is no way I am going to disassemble it.

You're quite lucky in the end. My story with Ikea is the complete opposite: great furniture, has been holding up well, but I was once overcharged at the check-out and customer service was really horrible. It dragged on for weeks and maybe one or two persons among those I dealt with were nice and not as insulting as the others were.

I was lucky recently and able to find some cheap art for our bedrooms. The first two are vintage prints that were on sale at a local framing shop. The larger one was on sale for $65, down from $165. Yay for great deals!

jme718 February 18 2011, 22:30:42 UTC

I love vintage art, especially that first one! And oh holy crap that last one is so racist.
