Old houses, structural or interpersonal, are like this.

David Sedaris hates overhead lighting.
Notable line: “Do other guys lean against their dressers, admiring the play of sun and shadow on their Gustav Klimt posters?, I’d wonder.” -
This is along the lines of what I want to do in our house! I love mod lighting with ornate ceiling medallions.

Grandparents and their 20-something grandchildren swap clothes.

What works, and what doesn’t, with three furniture arrangements in one living room.

Ha! R-rated movies, cutely illustrated. (And available as prints.)

Get the look: stenciled walls as a wallpaper alternative.

Just how long does painting take, anyway? (Hint: you can totally do a room this weekend. I’m planning on it.)

March 4, 2014 at 8:22 amTwo things: overhead lights! Yes! When I’m cooking during the day, my husband always comes into the kitchen and turns on the light. And says, “Isn’t that better?” And I’m like “No! No it isn’t better!” And I shut it off. Glad I’m not alone.
Also, I went and read pretty much that whole blog Girl Gone Child. Wonderful stuff.
