I have that print too! My frame is wack though, I need to re-frame it & put it up!

CalhounSq said:

Seeeee . . . there's always one.

In my case, you can try it if ya want to but you know mama packs the heat. Depending on my mood, you might get a warning shot above your head.

CalhounSq said:

When I had it framed, a couple of people thought it was my daughter. I love that print.

CalhounSq said:

Girl I heard THAT!

I just got taken back to a Carrie Bradshaw Sex in the City moment when she realized, "damn, why I am paying all this overinflated money to live in an apartment!!!!" Shoot, a house is where it's AT!

I was wondering do you all do all the remodeling yourself, or do you hire a contractor--or.. painters.. you know.

I want to do some myself, but I'm a little afraid! LOL

I am even afraid of painting stuff because I have never done it before.

There are still so many things in my apartment that need to be done and it does not look as if they will be done in the near future However my living room is nearly done and my then bf and me did almost everything on our own. I know the style is not for everyone but I love it .

Serious said:

Oh, I think it's very pretty! I love the color.

Did you paint it yourself?

Our house is so traditional--in a way. It's very "lodge-like." Even if I could post the pics, I don't think you all would like it. I like it because.. well like I said the home just lended itself to this decor.

I watch all those home decorating shows. And I have these books. I have all these things marked! LOL

I would love to "paint" at least. Now this is something I could do. I don't think I could do some of the other stuff, but I could paint! In the guest bath.. we have this wall paper.. It's very subtle, and like I said, I put-up some tiles.. to sort of vary it. Oh.. I also have a stained glass in the window of the guest bathroom. I bought it at this art shop--you know it's hangs in the window for privacy rather than something else. I also have this roman shade in there, just in case people want more privacy. In the master bathroom, we have a stained glass that was there in a small window when we bought the house.

So..have you all like taken down wall-paper before? I would really like to do this in the guest bathroom, then paint rather than wall-paper. Our lavatory (it's separate from the bath/shower/toilet area) in our master also has wallpaper, I would like to take down and then paint the walls. So this is why.

Oh.. as far as windows.. we have oak wooden mini blinds, and separating the sunroom from the living area, I have roman shades.. bamboo.. The house as a lot of oak detail, so this is why. In the guestroom, we have what is it called .. roman shade--on the French Doors. I can't think of the name of it. It's sort of an olive, then I have miniblinds up on the windows to match.

But you know, like the fire place and stuff.. and painting..you all do this yourself?
