Thank you all for visiting and commenting. The new house is going to take up more time than I have, so blogging isnt going to be possib;e. Take care all!:)http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/KODACHROME1970/296265I have decided that each of the rooms in the house is going to be a different part of the world. The bedroom is going to be the only room that is a bit eclectic. It will be like a gothic theatre in India. Does such a place exist? Well, it will in my bedroom. I am not only going to have the closet...http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/KODACHROME1970/295383In our bedroom in the "new" house there is a "fake " wall. The owners put up this wall with a door smack dab in the middle of it for a closet. You have to go in the door, then squeeze down either side to get to your clothes at the end. Well, neither my better half or I are pencil thin, so this...http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/KODACHROME1970/295097We went to the local furniture store last week and picked out a beautiful couch.

The salesman said that...http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/KODACHROME1970/294407I just saw the coolest thing!

One of the things that they put on the wall was rock.It looked like a cave it was so...http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/KODACHROME1970/293847Being prepared for sometimes strange and unexpected events to happen is a good thing. People might say youre a bit odd to have a hundred cans of raviolis in your cellar, but they dont take that much room and last for quite a while. When I lived up north and we were having the great scare of 1999...http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/KODACHROME1970/293726There have been many times where I wanted a room to look put together. I would try to find pillows that would match or at least compliment curtains, table runners etc. There is an easier way around it. Find some material in a substantial amount. Walmart is great for this because they have bins of...http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/KODACHROME1970/292800My fiance and I are buying a house this month. This should afford me the opportunity to try out a whole new set of ideas. The house was built in 1888. It is very old and very beautiful but needs lots of cosmetic work.I will finally have a staircase to hang garland from at the holidays. The...http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/KODACHROME1970/290959The best thing you could possibly own is a sewing machine (and a creative mind). The possibilities are endless when it comes to making stuff for your house, apartment or condo!
