Oh, your bed looks so comfy. Love it.

impishlaugh January 14 2009, 16:38:28 UTC

Thanks! Most of my stuff was from thrift stores, or someone else's hand-me-downs, or dumpster dived. The bed was an indulgence, but worth it. :)

This has actually been really inspiring to hear and see right now. My budget just got slashed halfway through redoing our interior and replacing certain long-broken hand-me-downs and I've been in a bit of a funk about it. I really love what you've done with the whole place (and yes, including the post-it wall. I still want one.) It's inspiring.

I own two new pieces of furniture: my mattress and TV cabinet. Everything else is from thrift stores, family members' attics, craigslist, or someone else left it out for the trash man. EVERYTHING. I repainted, refinished, or reupholstered most of it, but that was fun and now no one else has stuff like mine.

Your comment means a lot to me. Getting your budget slashed must be so frustrating! But don't let it make you sad. Let it make you creative. :)

I love love love the Post-It wall. And your bedding. And the G-clef lamp. And your bathroom cabinets. And and and! Needless to say, I like it. :)

Thanks! And thank you. And thanks again!

The post-it wall was a lot of fun to do.

i had to go back to realize it was a post-it wall :D very saucy...

Thank you!

You are lovely and a much better photographer than me. I want to see YOUR house.

LOVE the post-it wall. If I did not have a wild 4 year old running around the house, I would be inclined to steal that idea!

dancinglights January 14 2009, 16:54:19 UTC

hah. I just have a kitten, but was thinking the same :)

impishlaugh January 14 2009, 16:58:41 UTC

The cat has been surprisingly good--she stays away from the post-its.

I love the post-it wall. Are you ever tempted to write on them?

impishlaugh January 14 2009, 17:05:33 UTC

I've thought about it, but I like the way it looks blank. But I may ask my friends to write secret messages on the parts that are covered by other post-its.

bellazirka January 14 2009, 17:52:28 UTC

What about dust, is that an issue as it accumulates on them? And, do you just replace rogue post-its, or are they super-stuck/glued to the wall? How interesting! Everything is fabulous.

impishlaugh January 14 2009, 23:04:29 UTC

I haven't had the post-its up long enough to consider dust. Hmm... They are surprisingly stubborn. There have only been two casualties so far.
