Long gone are the days of formal dining rooms and formal rules on how to design a home. We’re personalizing our homes in all kinds of fun and interesting ways – look at a few of the ideas we’ve found.
I recently cashed in the Smith and Hawken gift certificate that my mom, auntie, and grandmother gave me as a bridal shower present. These green ceramic pots caught my eye, so I bought a trio of them to use for an indoor plant project.

With seven bedrooms, this Swedish villa is heavy on space, but light on color. A recurring feature of the home is a quiet, white base that's livened up with cheerful accent colors.

Craftster member Sweets4ever reports that she and her husband have been getting their nest on. She writes, "I'm due in just over two weeks and we decided we need to repaint some rooms in our house now . . . We bought our house six years ago. I don't think I have pictures of the original bathroom, but it was awful. It may have been the original bathroom from the build in 1969. Cheesy. We remodeled — new sink, vanity, lighting, tiles, tub and surround. Unfortunately we either ran out of time, money or energy and we never really decorated it. But now we've finally redeemed ourselves!"
Hi Casa,
My husband and I want to paint the office in our house, something that will look clean, modern, and streamlined (and ideally make the room look a little bigger and brighter than it is). However every single "modern" office I see is white, or the slightest variation thereof. Does a workroom have to look sterile to be modern? (If it helps, by and large the furniture in the room is blond wood.)
