I like color, unique items, historical items and comfort. This is my stopping spot. Throw my purse on Granny's old chair from the drugstore/soda fountain closed umpteen years ago. Keys and loose things go in the tray on the small chest. Shoes stop here too. Notice my lime green flip flops, the trash I should have emptied and a concrete lawn statue named after a dear friend. I must decide how to hide that cord.
I like color. One of my paintings along with a cobbler's stool.
One side of the fireplace mantle holds a toy from a dear friend
and a lantern from generations past.

I enjoy lining things up
I enjoy lines
The Blogger alignment gods did not listen to me today.
I enjoy repurposing items. This is a painted sewing machine table used for my tv stand and underneath is a black walnut table made by Dad.
As the commercial says, "How you like me now?"

You have some neat old treasures and I love your painting.
I like funky too but the best thing about this is you are so lucky to have memories attached to all you funky and that is what it is all about my friend. B
i like you lots and i like color to, your orange painting is really pretty. now we know you better, great post to introduce yourself, your real self to us.
you are eclectic. :)
I like your splashes of red here and there. I read once that every room should have at least one red piece:)
I like funky and being unique. Vibrant colors and placing things in rows or lines. The mixture of wood, color, rows and rock, make your place so inviting and relaxing at the same time.
That's what makes us 'unique.'
We have the same oil lamp and your red stool reminds me of the soda fountain my GAunt had in her store. Very cool to be you.
I like funky too. I think it adds so much to decorating. I like how yours looks today.

Your house is like mine. I like to surround myself with pieces that have a history. Forget IKEA.
Awesome room, Gail. You did a great job with it.
Have a wonderful night!
Your fireplace looks almost exactly like my living room one!

You definitely have eclectic taste! ;)
That is an adorable idea to paint the sewing cabinet!
