I have a few Design Dilemmas from Scott McGillivray , left! (Any excuse to put up a photo of Scott McGillivray... Side note: Am I getting nauseating? Like Rosie O'Donnell became with Tom Cruise when she had her show? Please tell me when/if that happens.)

You know when things speak to you? You look at something -- an interior, in my case -- and you 'get it'? You think, "well of course that looks good! And had I thought about my place just a little bit harder, I may have even arrived at the same solution!"

Permalink
Posted by Vanessa 7/8/2010 12:10:00 PM
You gotta love this classic Colin & Justin's Home Heist makeover. The only unfortunate thing about summer, as far as I'm concerned, is that is has to end. But this room means you can enjoy the sun all year long. The solarium was really quite sad before

Real People Living in Condos: Yes You CAN Have a Custom Closet

Posted by Guest Blogger 6/25/2010 4:30:00 PM
