I just need to get organized, period. Next week I'm potentially having a lot more time off so that I will be able to spend some time getting stuff cleaned and such. It isn't as much about redecoration for me as I only have my room, and instead of painting the walls I tape fashion ads and marketing from work to the walls.

YES! Me too. And, I want a new big curve kitchen faucet. I hate the one I have now. I've been in a slow process over the last year pulling off wallpaper & just painting the walls.

It just drives hubby crazy when I start by pulling just one lil piece of the wallpaper off...cause he knows if I start a project like that...work is comin his way too

I HATE removing wallpaper...its such a pain.

Next is the bedroom...& then I only have a bathroom & another bedroom left to do.

Rather than redecorate, I'd like to... decorate! And, you know, unpack. Worked on some cleaning and unpacking today. SO MUCH MORE TO GO. AUUUGHGHGHGHHHHH!

If anyone wants to help paint my place, it's CREAM throughout, UGH. I HATE it.

I would be in so much trouble with those shopping channels-and I just had a lecture from the parents who are going to be requiring me to start saving more money each month because they dropped the bomb that they are wanting to move. That means I'm going to be buying a LOT less MAC.

My parents KEPT the walls the way they were when we moved-stark white. They hate coloured paint, they see it as being pointless.

Ewwwwwwwww! At least there's a touch of coloured paint in my place - the bathroom ceiling is blue.

The closest they got to colour was a white that had a hint of butter yellow in it for the rec room-but other than that they did absolutely nothing. When and if I move out I am definitely going to be painting my walls sherbert orange.

That is exactly the colour I want to paint my girl room.

(the sherbert orange, that is)

See I love yellow, orange, and pink, but figure I want something a bit quirky and that won't repulse my parentals or friends too much...

I would definitely hope to have my vanity set up and working, complete with stands for everything. If something is in a drawer, it never gets used. I would keep my Ikea computer desk because I use it as a vanity almost, but the actual vanity would be a hair and craft station.

Orange is my favourite colour. I want my living room to be yellow, and I want to paint the far wall of my kitchen aqua, while the rest stays white.

elegant one..i'm at the same spot. this house has tons of 70s style wallpaper. grrr. so my mom bought one of those steamers. it helps but it still takes a while. grrr. but then i want to knock down half a wall to make this 60's house seem a bit more open...but that costs a lot of money. eeek.

i love trying to plan colour schemes but seriously i get a bit overwhelmed at the same time!! lol. good times. but i love going to home depot to plan and/or dream!

So Wall E was good? I didn't have high hopes for it. Whenever I see the little robot allI can think is "Johnny 5 is alive"

The last movie I went to go see was Cloverfield, and it was only because the guy who I was hooking up with at the time BEGGED me to go with him and his friends...which also included the friend of his who I am now hooking up with. I wouldn't go to a movie though-I'm way too antsy, the food is overpriced, and $9 to see a movie once? That's partway to an eyeshadow for me.

We've been redecorating our 8 year old house the last few weeks. We just finishing paining the dining room, and still have to paint the kitchen and family room. We also got a new counter top for the kitchen and will be sanding and repainting the cabinets. New light fixtures went up in the dining room, kitchen and entrance way and shutters replaced the curtains in our bedroom and dining room!!! So, ya, I'd say we've been in the mood to redecorate, lol! Actually, it was more a matter of finally replacing the fixtures that came with the house and getting rid of the ikea drapes we had originally intended to be a temporary fix, for 8 years! As for colour on the walls, we had a bright mango yellow shade up on the main floor, and I just got so sick of colour that we're doing neutrals right through the house now! All this work and I'm trying to convince DH to consider moving next year instead of the year after!!!
