Hi! I'm a lurker here because y'all have such wonderful ideas. kittypawz-WOW! You live across from the Priddy Fountain? I went to junior high and part of high school in Highland Park and used to drive past that thing (before it was rebuilt) all the time. oceanna-Your siding pics are too funny. My last home had a huge picture window in the dining room that was 6' from the neighbor's house (all brick). I finally built a trellis on the outside to grow vines over the window and block the view :) Here's what I see outside my windows now..

Want to see my dining room set and new blue walls? The dining room set was just delivered a little while ago. I haven't cut all the tags off it. I measured the area and compared it to the specs on the table before I bought it, but it still looks a little too big for the space. I'm going to have to find somewhere else to put the cabinet that's to the right of it. There's an extra leaf to the table too, but it's in the closet right now. Now to get some pads for the bottoms of the chairs so they don't scratch up the floor. The round table in the corner of the right hand side of the picture is my old table. It's going out in the garage later when Alex gets home. I have to e-mail a friend to see if her nephew ever got a new place so they can come pick it up. His apartment burned a couple months ago and he lost everything.

You guys have some lovely rooms (accessories and pets too lol). Love those white cabinets that Oakleyok and Marita have!

I have an old dresser (it was my DH's great grandmothers, his grandmother was told by her mother that if she fixed it up, she could have it in her home, then it came with Gma when she moved in with Dean's family. His mother had it in their house, and now it is in our home) that sits in the entry way to our home. I display the different holiday/themes on it. 4th of July is on it now.
