Just like wearing patterns ... I don't know what it is about it. 'Cause I love huge, patterned, loud, non-matchy bright stuff in theory. I just get paranoid whenever I actually try it.Sisyphushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09880634753539329199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7366909960546184927.post-87487326678123255862011-06-27T11:14:43.335-07:002011-06-27T11:14:43.335-07:00Don't be matchy-matchy -- colors are too much ...Don't be matchy-matchy -- colors are too much fun to pick just one!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7366909960546184927.post-11597363441137592582011-06-27T07:13:38.939-07:002011-06-27T07:13:38.939-07:00Well if you need an interior decorator, just call ...Well if you need an interior decorator, just call me! ;)Sisyphushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09880634753539329199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7366909960546184927.post-76722353209523223112011-06-26T22:10:58.898-07:002011-06-26T22:10:58.898-07:00I'm going to have to buy a lot of new furnitur...I'm going to have to buy a lot of new furniture when we move because we're getting rid of so much. In a way, that's really fun and exciting to think about. But it's also going to be a lot of money. I figure, though, that it's time to buy some real furniture instead of having all thrift store merchandise. <br /><br />The funny thing about new versus used, though, is that the one "nice" piece of furniture we had was our couch -- nice dark brown leather -- but our kids destroyed it within two years of buying it. Turns out, the leather was very poor quality. However, I have a thrift store leather recliner (real leather!) that is likely 20+ years old, and it's still going strong. That's one of the only thrift store purchases that's making the cross country trek. <br /><br />I like the idea of redecorating. It's doing it and spending money that's the bother. hmph.<br /><br />Word verification: outofie.
