I dedicate this post to my daughter Mia, who today informed me that the only colors she loves are pink and purple. “What about red?” I asked.
“No, I don’t love red.”
“What about green? Do you even like green a little bit?”
“No, I don’t love green.”
“What about blue?” I asked. “The sky is blue, and it’s so pretty!”
“Oh!” she said, “I LOVE the sky! But I don’t love blue.”
So here is some girly glam goodness coming your way, first from Patricia and Andrea, the mother daughter duo at Fiber and Fire. I simply must have this settee in my dressing room. If I had a dressing room.


And how awesome would it look paired up with this zebra print chair from Larissa at House On Harrison? So awesome your eyes would melt, so I don’t advise it.

Thanks ladies!

November 1, 2012 at 10:53 PMI have noticed a slowdown in loading. I hate to say it, but it seemed to start when you went to your .net site. It always eventually loads (and is totally worth the wait!), but it does take a little while. Maybe up to 1.5 minutes.

November 1, 2012 at 10:31 PMI find the all centered text difficult to read, but that might just be me π
I enjoy single sentence centered text above a photo or a link, but all centered text feels very disjointed.
Love the site!

November 2, 2012 at 6:00 PMI had some problems when you first switched, but now everything is fine. I always check in with my Android phone. I love both of these makeovers, especially the settee. I fell in love with a similar one you posted a while back which was a purple velvet, and now I’m obsessed. Can’t find anything cheap enough to justify refinishing it.

November 2, 2012 at 11:57 AMWorks great for me. Love the furniture. Your daughter reminds me of one of mine, when she was a little girl, she only liked pink, and “hot chocolate brown”. Now “forty-something” she still only really loves pink and brown!

November 2, 2012 at 2:17 PMThe site has loaded quite a bit slower for me in the last month to 6 weeks maybe…but I just wait! I agree with Missey – maybe up to a couple minutes in loading.

November 3, 2012 at 12:33 AMOften it is not YOUR page that is loading slowly but the fact many people forget to empty their cache and this helps to run THEIR computer faster. Many mobile phones don’t allow much to be loaded in one hit, and that is just poo bad luck to those with mobile phones. Empty the cache (commonly known as ‘trash’ on some computers) and the persons receiving your pages might find it loads up faster. Oh, and also depends on which browser the person uses too. Some load much faster than others. eg, Mozilla loads faster than I.E. Lesson over, $50 thank you.

November 3, 2012 at 1:51 AMHi there, yeah I use Mozilla… the pics are taking very long to load. I thought maybe you had forgotten to put the ‘after’ photos on… but it’s not you.
They do load after a while, but in strips at a time. π

November 4, 2012 at 11:48 AMI’ve been having trouble with how slow it’s loading now. I must admit it has me not checking in your blog like I use to. It’s a great blog so it’s my loss for my lack of patience.
