I'm trying not to 'copy' you, but what you do is just so irresistable! <br /><br />You are amazingly talented, Layla, and Kevin, you are a man among men!<br />So wish we could meet.....<br />When our house is finished (at the moment the kitchen is on the back verandah, we eat in the hallway, and the 3 children share a room) we will have a lovely guest room and not only would you be more than welcome, I will send you a personal invitation to come and stay!<br /><br />I wish you every success, and will continue to await your latest venture!<br /><br />Thank you so much for your blog.<br />Best regards<br />MargaretMMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02112289059639343978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7615489442416541414.post-69279066385828617222010-09-05T11:46:54.968-05:002010-09-05T11:46:54.968-05:00Hi Layla, I've been following your blog for ab...Hi Layla, I've been following your blog for about a year now. I love your inexpensive way of decorating. I can never find what I want so I spray, sand, and recover everything. I even cut sheets for curtains. I also love your funny and wholesome personality. If I lived near you I'd say lets get a coffee and hit some yard sales.Lauriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00880274907737772128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7615489442416541414.post-82715844068229727972010-07-24T10:16:33.208-05:002010-07-24T10:16:33.208-05:00Got to love the "Dandy Cherry" plug-in! ...Got to love the "Dandy Cherry" plug-in! It would look perfect in a either my living room or guest bedroom where red is the color that pops. This would be perfect paired with "Havana Cabana" scentsy bar to cast the scents of a the Caribbean throughout my spaces. The addition of this cute plug-in and yummy summery scent to my home excites me!!!<br /><br />-Megan :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04305902284170129093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7615489442416541414.post-31016878716144308702010-07-21T11:28:21.870-05:002010-07-21T11:28:21.870-05:00Love your blog!

I live in a 125+ year old farm house in NY and I was wondering if you would ever consider posting about decorating a slanted ceiling. All of the rooms on our 2nd floor have slanted ceilings and I am at a loss and have not found any ideas that fit the farm house style. I know any ideas or suggestions you would have would be wonderful. Thank you for being a little piece of "lovely" in my day!jedidah1khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08966653086234791328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7615489442416541414.post-3923773585140260792010-06-24T08:10:06.618-05:002010-06-24T08:10:06.618-05:00This might be an odd question, but where did you f...This might be an odd question, but where did you find your white salt and pepper shakers?

I've googled and searched all over the net for "burlap walls" and found hardly anything. <br /><br />I started with a staple gun then had the "brillant" idea of using the sticky double sided craft tape that can be used for hemming. I have no idea how it'll hold up, but it sure is going up easy with it:)<br /><br />BrookeMiss B.e.e.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12257528941906464196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7615489442416541414.post-78900181831892069852010-06-05T01:29:58.944-05:002010-06-05T01:29:58.944-05:00Your blog is amazing, I discovered it a few months...Your blog is amazing, I discovered it a few months ago and am hooked!

You are truly talented and I thank you for the inspiration and for sharing your ideas. I know you frequent Ebay but I was wondering if you have checked out the local auction sites online. I am truly amazed at some of the things you can pick up for next to nothing, like right now this auction (http://www.rollerauction.net) has a former coffee restaurant and an insurance company furniture and equipment for auction. Sometimes I have to restrain myself from buying something I don't need just because no one else has bid on it -- like I really don't need another desk but gosh they have so many of them. <br /><br />Again, thank you for sharing your life as your blog is sometimes the high point of my day.Barbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08148146985086013758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7615489442416541414.post-46025314367448797492010-05-21T01:43:13.221-05:002010-05-21T01:43:13.221-05:00Hi Layla,

We just redecorated a room for my son and daughter and were so inspired by your guest room. {I hope you don't mind if I posted one of your pictures and gave a link to your site:0)}. The end result was not exactly like your room, but we went for the same feeling...relaxing and inviting:0). Thanks so much for sharing your talent and wonderful ideas for budget friendly viewers like me. Our room went together for under $200!!<br /><br />Thanks again!<br /><br />~Julia<br />http://theblissfullycontentlife.blogspot.com/2010/05/room-for-two-room-thats-blue.htmlJuliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05768321304726263558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7615489442416541414.post-83712345671192712032010-05-19T14:02:15.842-05:002010-05-19T14:02:15.842-05:00Hi Layla, just wanted to say thank you for posting...Hi Layla, just wanted to say thank you for posting the Easy Change wallpaper options a couple of weeks ago. I finally tracked down the turquoise/aqua print from the Beacon House Damask book and love it! I'm covering an 8 foot tall by 4 foot wide niche in my house in it (except in chocolate and taupe). It's beautiful! Wallpaper isn't just for grandmas anymore!

The thing that I find the most stimulating though, is your bubbly, happy personality which just shines through. It's like hearing from an old friend when I read. It just puts me in the best mood.
