Subject: RE: BS: Declutter & Accountability Sept 2010
Andrea, what I see in the housepix (after years of arranging rental decor and looking over houses, plus a little home-decor study):

<> If those are two twinsize beds we see in the bedroom photo, that has to be a BIG room, eh?
<> The kitchen and loo look recently updated and I am already envious of the working layout and counter space in the kitchen. It looks a treat to cook in.
<> Tho the loo has obviuosly been photographed to make it look as big (loing) as possibel, what I see is lots of space around the fixtures to add storage, and a nice long tub to stretch outr in.
<> Both the LR and the DR show built-ins a Mudcatter needs, because of all the music books and Catterabilia we tend to collect. :~)
<> Whether the fireplaces work or not, IMO you cannot beat a fireplace with even just candle flame to warm the heart, and I saw at least two.
<> The built-in's around the LR fireplace are a classic decor that can make for wonderful eye-candy for the occupant-- room to display colors, collections, etc. that have personal meaning to pull the eye to how the occupant intends to live her day, every day, PLUS natural light. Adding a picture above the shorter shelves can make a lovely symmetry flanking the fireplace.
<> The DR built-ins are crying for a shallow tallboy or sideboard or shelf where they show a picture sitting on the floor-- more pretty storage.
<> The bedroom fireplace-- muy romantico! And a mantel for additional display... envy-envy-envy....
<> The garden looks small enough not to FEEL small but to be easily cared for, and waiting for more climbing plants... hasn't been neglected (from the poor view this dark monitor gives). Looks like a "Secret Garden" in miniature, so again I am green with envy.
