****, 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...

Why is the green chair infamous?

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".

I lOVE Target! My mom sent me this sort of microfiber blanket she got for like $30 that feels better than the cashmere throw that cost much more than that.

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.
