messy homes can have their own charm
i actually like the floor there.. it has all these bits of colours i don't normally see in a hardwood floor

is your leather sofa really purple?
i like your choice of colours!

Also I have a couple of photos that were emailed to me by my Parents of interiors but I'm completley unable to credit them so I don't know if i should post them?

dumbfairy you can post them as links, instead of as pictures
and it should be fine

^true, true. And yes I'd almost feel bad painting over the floor..it's been through a lot! The sofa is more of a maroon.. I tweaked the colors a bit obviously! And thank you, it's funny because I dress in more muted tones but my apartment is so vividly decorated.. haha

This is the home of Gemma Ahern, UK. I think it's wonderfully quirky (the bookcase wallpaper, the pengiun lamp, the hot pink table)

1karina1 hello ^ please remember to add a space when posting image after image
one after the other

some members' browsers will stretch out of shape and the screen will mess up when there is a sequence of images with no break/space in between

I want to live there, she (or the interior designer) did an amazing job

I love the contrast that pink table gives to the room

I hope this will be better

Here is the Brooklyn home of David Aldaheff (owner of future perfect shop). This is a very lived in, scruffy, eclectic space.

Overall, I think the place is a little too dark for me...but it definitely has some superb elements and colors mixed in. I love the built in shelves around the door, and hot pink table, and especially those blue kitchen cabinets, they're gorgeous! Thanks for sharing the photos with us!

wow - I'm really impressed by Gemma's place. Very much my own style I guess. I love the mix of quirky and functional. I love using grey as a base color which really enhances the color of everything else (more so than black imo) and she has some wonderful things. We just had our big arts show/crafts fair yesterday and a woman I ran into makes beautiful large ceramic pears like in Gemma's kitchen.

I am now in the process of starting to reno my dad's house. We'll see. I'm trying not to get overwhelmed with expectations of change, but at the same time, I don't want to set my limits too low. I am thinking of maybe a blog to chronicle it all (and have a place to store before/after photos) but not sure if it's worth it or not....hmm...

I think that would be a great idea...there's something fascinating about watching something transform and evolve. I would certainly check out that blog

[classicalbang]

Meg, that is a great concept for a blog. You could count me as a reader as well.

haha well, I went ahead and created a page but my mum has hijacked my camera cord so if I ever get that sorted, I will be sure to post a link. I finished repainting my room and moving the furniture in it this weekend, and what a world of difference. It feels like a little oasis now. Thanks for the support ladies!
