I had that in mind, really. But I don't know where to get one. Making one will be a challenge.

Thanks Erin.

One wonders how you ran across the link. If you really don't want to hear what I think about muslims, you shouldn't have baited the subject so, cuz I could go on for hours ;) hmmmm... What I think of islam is..... ps you asked for it :D Congrats on the philo bloom, btw :) Too bad Foxy wasn't here any more, she'd be drooling.

Alright, alright..stop hatin' on the purse y'all :) :) My mother tells me it's "quite fashionable", lol. Maybe that should be my first sign to run..not walk away from it :) I'll put some more pics up of the whole space. I'm needing some help pulling some other things together to make this table work. I've been ready and quite willing for awhile to make a change. And this has helped set me on that path. Kathleen, great idea about using them as an end table. I'll be needing something, once I get rid of some of the other stuff I have. I may have a spot. Although, they're not quite as big in person as they appear in the pic. Thanks again everyone! So far, I've yet to have any buyer's remorse :)

What a very pretty room! I second all the advice to take your time and to get something temporary for the time being. do you have a rug you are going to use in that room from which you could pull a color for the drapes? My two specific pieces of advice are to ignore the window to the far right that is next to the fireplace. I would maybe do drapes along the long wall, and then blinds on the window next to the fireplace. I wouldn't do the same treatment on both as that would look a little awkward. the other piece of advice is to check out this blogpost. It is (almost) the best bit of design advice wrriteen anywhere about any decorating topic in my opinioin! http://cotedetexas.blogspot.com/2009/08/top-ten-design-elements-4.html She provides oodles of specific examples demonstrating why her advice makes sense. IMO nothing makes a room more cozy than drapes! good luck and keep us posted with what you decide. Here is a link that might be useful: Cote de Texas Curtain blog

Clearly some people don't understand the difference between doing the "right" thing and being self indulgent. There are many times when my behavior reflects the "right" thing as society defines it and not the REAL way I feel. It's certainly quelled my desire to engage in road rage or tell my coworker she dresses like a slut, and I'm probably a better person for it. I'll be the first to admit that societal politeness has saved me from myself many times. And sometimes, much to my inevitable regret, I've lost control over my immediate knee-jerk response. In my opinion it's better to do the thing that will ultimately reflect upon your own character, even if the short term desire is to hurt someone. Letting someone else's bad behavior result in yours might be momentarily gratifying but in the long run, it's weakness. But, that's just my opinion. However, if petulant and bitter behavior is what you're really all about, then I guess some would say that is doing the right thing by being true to yourself. If that's the self you truly are. Only you know who you are or who you would hope to be.

My knee-jerk reaction is to tell you to stick your arms straight out, roll eyes up, and -- turning to her -- in a suitably gravelly voice say "Braaaiins!"

I'd like one of those planters myself and I've found a few on amazon and e-bay as well as a few other sites. They're around $100 for the nice ones yous see and that's too much for me to spend so I haven't gotten one.

That is really expensive. We used to use it for the Euphorbia medusa plant. I like the brain idea better, it is more creative. I just wonder if I can find one here in the Los Angeles area, I'll let you know. There is only one place it may be.

Ooooh, cheese puffs and brains. Gooood!

What the heck are those things, anyway? Crested Mammillaria elongata, or just old clumps?
