Lolakimono-Thank-you!!!!

Thank you for posting the different looks! I love it. It is so interesting to me to see different styles and taste. I really appreciate you doing this! It is fun!

@CANDLEQUEEN

This may (not) be a surprise, but art was my minor in college. I like to look at lots of design details- window shopping of sorts.

I am AMAZED at how different everyone's tastes are here. That is home selling 101, I suppose, that even the most innocuous decor offends some, from reading our comments.

I thought that people would hate the Dining Room by the Sea artwork, especially, but the majority loved that room. Go figure!

I (secretly) LOVE the animal cracker nursery, even though everyone else hates it. I find it joyous, and a unisex room to spark a love of color and animals.

How timely @CANDLEQUEEN. I was going to start a thread thanking @lolakimono for posting these fun pictures and allowing us to critique. I know I place (too much) emphasis on someone's home and how that defines them, but our comments give us each insight into understanding one another.

Lola, are you in the throes of a redecorating project or just chillaxing with your summer break?

@magicmoodz

No redecorating here. The only "recent" thing I have done was purchase a slipcover for my shabby not chic leather sofa that my cats have destroyed.

I was just doing some projects (scrubbing the outside steps with bleach- BLEH!) and taking a break in between projects.

I find it hard to keep busy for free during the summer. I would normally go to the gym for a bit, but with impetigo I'm staying home. Today I have acupunture, so with travel that will burn up about 2.5 hours. BF is working from home today, so instead of watching TV I'm looking at inspirational decor.

@lolakimono - Thank You from me too! I love your posts and look forward to them. It is fun to see what others see in a grouping along with likes/dislikes. I have even surprised myself with some of the rooms, lol. Keep them coming!

@lolakimono

It's the little things in life! A new slipcover is a mini-makeover especially if you are pleased with the results. I recently rearranged my pantry and can't believe how much more functional it is with added space. Cost = zero!

Be careful with that bleach. I can't tolerate breathing it in and it will surely find its way to spotting my clothes!

Enjoy your summer vacation. School will be starting before you know it!

@lolakimono, thanks for posting the pictures. Many of them are outside of my comfort level, but I am enjoying seeing all of the rooms.

Add me to the list of those who are really enjoying these posts. Love to see different styles of decorating, Lola you come up with the most interesting subjects, like the one on the doors and one on the stairs. Love your posts on clothes also. We will miss you when you go back to school and are busy again. Hopefully, you will still have some extra time to post!

I can definitely see your minor in Art, you have the eye for the details.

Lola, I love your posts so much that I created an account (after many years of not posting) just so that I could chime in from time to time. I love decorating magazines, paint colors, and basically all things decorating/gardening. Thanks!
