Decorating style/your home

So was this ballgown thing a regular occurrence or what??

That's the thing in Atlanta and apparently elsewhere. People build these huge houses and then skimp on stock dors with 14 foot ceilings and foam molding. Yuck!

The ballgown(s), however, appeared infrequently until the bitter end of the relationship, when I was in Tara alone at night with several empty pitchers of martinis, supine on the Steinway while belting out Oh My Man I Love Him So.

I swear, if I don't meet you in person soon I will just die. DIE!

Ooh downstairs where the big old house is mine! Of course there was a problem, Scarlett!

Now THAT is an image that needs to be immortalized somehow.

****, how did I miss the description of this visual?

Not that I hadn't imagined similar things, but that's rich.

I purchased my home in the beginning of 1996. I've done a lot to it...painted it inside and out (I am all about color), added french doors, had almost all the flooring redone (hardwood and tile) and basically gave the place a huge face-lift. I dont really have a set style, I just know what I like. I love to decorate, so maybe my stye is eclectic with a touch of gothic thrown in. Lots of wrought iron, velvet sofas, candles everywhere, tiffany lamps...it's pretty. My dad collects art, so I dont have any prints -- everything is original oils. I share my house with 2 cats and my guest room usually has someone in it -- currently, my best friend Patrick has been living with me.
I'm very happy here.
I hope this link works...

Well, yeah. He and a number of previous visitors...

Actually, it's a joke with my friends. I often fall asleep in my green chair, so when someone calls and they ask, "What are you doing?" and I say that I'm reading or watching TV in the green chair, the next thing that I normally hear on the other end of the phone is, "Goodnight".

WOW!!! very nice.

I was lucky enough to find awhile back these oils my mom did in the 40's and 50's. They are way cool.
