Don't worry about the nasty comments on the link to HGTV, some people do not and will not ever have class. This is my style of preference but even when a home is decorated in a style that is not close to my heart, or not decorated intentionally at all, I would never utter a mean comment. Thanks for sharing your beautiful and inspiring home and ideas.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11533933625825629350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5006505084971049337.post-75891074864115802662014-08-09T16:34:38.587-07:002014-08-09T16:34:38.587-07:00I love how the room evolved - and how it feels so ...I love how the room evolved - and how it feels so "real" and comfy.

We purchased the comfort sofa from Pottery Barn and love it more now than when we bought it 2 years ago. The slipcovers can be washed and it looks as good today as it did back then. <br /><br />I also love your style and both your old and new room. We have been in our house for 3 years and it has slowly progressed as I have collected and found things that I love. It's a reflection of who our family is and honestly there's no place I'd rather be than home.

I loved your room the first time I saw it and love how it has evolved as trends and your personal taste has changed. My room started out with a victorian style, changed to primitive patriotic and now it is more pottery barn, this all due to how my taste and finances has changed, it's still a work in progress. What I love is that your home is beautiful even if it has older carpet, this is the best example of Nester's "it doesn't have to be perfect to be beautiful". What is also special is even with older carpet your living room has been featured on HGTV as well as magazines. Thanks for sharing your home even though you didn't have new carpet or it was old pictures, because of you I have been inspired throughout the years to do many things in my home although it wasn't and still isn't perfect.

I will never understand some people. I truly believe they are just unhappy and disatisfied with themselves. I do not comment often and I do not know you Melanie but I look forward to checking in with you every morning as regular as my 1st cup of coffee! I devour every post and absolutely love your blog. I think you are amazingly talented. And as someone above said, I never noticed your carpet either, however, it also makes me feel better as we too are living with carpet in a few rooms that we hope one day to replace with hardwood. It just hasn't been the priority and with kids and pets it is not on the top of the list. And noone ever comes in my home and says anything nasty to me. They love my house and how I style it (I take many ideas from a certain amazing blogger I follow :) <br />On another note I too have white slipcovered furniture and have no regrets either! When I think they need it off into the washer they go and look good as new!<br />Keep up what you do so well Melanie! There are so many of us who adore you! Don't give those nasty comments another thought!!

We have just purchased an old Queenslander house which has VJ walls and ceilings (tongue & groove) that have been finished, possibly with a varnish. We would like to paint them white. Any tips on how to escape the dreaded sanding before painting?? I'm thinking ceilings here, as they are very high! ;-)<br /><br />Thanks heaps.

My jaw dropped as I read through them! Shame on people, so sad! I'm glad you're keeping your chin up about it...all of the rest of us that adore what you've done appreciate your inspiration! FYI, I happen to like the fact the carpeting in there...as someone with a very low decorating 'thrifty' budget it always helps me to know that places can look like a million bucks for those of us that don't actually have it! If every aspect of the room was perfect I think it would somehow seem even more unattainable! Having said that, I will say I never even noticed the carpet until I read the comments...There is touch other ooey goodness going on to notice! :) Keep on keeping on!

Whatever happened to "If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all"? Every one has different tastes in decor. By the way, I loved that room and thought it looked comfortable and inviting... not some place where you have to be super worried and feel as though you have to sit on the edge of the sofa for fear crushing something. And the updates I love them as well. I totally understand about letting a room evolve as well as our style evolving. Any way, keep up the good work and thank you for being an inspiration!!Peggyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00082661310058536555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5006505084971049337.post-52507380750720102082014-08-04T19:56:09.503-07:002014-08-04T19:56:09.503-07:00Oh it just bugs me to no end when people are downr...Oh it just bugs me to no end when people are downright hateful towards someone else's...LIVING ROOM!!
