Decorating Advice and Paint Colors

Since I was just talking about the picturesque town of Stars Hallow (Gilmore Girls), I thought I’d share what I know about it.  One the Season 1 DVD special features it states that there are several towns named Stars Hallow, although none of them are in Connecticut.  I’ve googled it numerous time & haven’t been able to find an actual location of Stars Hallow.  It’s like the lost city of Atlantis. Although I know that the Dragonfly Inn was originally on the set of the Waltons.  If I was metaphorical, I would say that there is a bit of stars Hallow in all of us, but dangit I want an actual place where I can visit & hang out with Luke & Mrs. Kim. It’s probably for the best that I can’t find it because then I’d have to move.

On several decorating shows, I have seen them place shoes, or handbags on shelves.  At first glance, this might seem like a weird idea, but I think that it’s a great way to really bring your personality into the room.  Plus, you will use things you already own, so accessorizing will be almost free. This could be anything, books, shells, souvenirs, anything that makes you smile when you see it.  For instance, most of my DVD’s are hidden away.  However, I own all of the boxed sets of "Gilmore Girls" & they have a special place of honor on top of the armoire.  This speaks of who I am & what I love, besides the fact that the boxes are just pretty.  Only 6 hours & four minutes until the last episode of "Gilmore Girls", not that I’m counting or anything.

Last week a local furniture store was giving away furniture to one lucky person. I sat in the living room for two days & tried to envision it, & was very excited by the idea. I didn’t win, & at first I was disappointed. However, I think in the long run, I’ll like the furniture more if I can pick it out myself, & not just have a generic set handed to me. Plus, when I was in the store, I didn’t see anything that really wowed me. I had no idea how affordable furniture can be, it really isn’t out of my price range. What I really need is home office furniture, because it’s the room that I’m in the most. The furniture is high end looking, & the site is easy to use. If you buy any of this furniture, it will look like you had a decorator with good connections. There’s even a 30 Day money back guarantee, which is great if you get the furniture into your room & find that it doesn’t work. I guess it’s a good thing that I didn’t win the contest after all. What they say is true, all is well that ends well.
