Would You Buy a Holiday Rug?

CasaSugar — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 05:30:24 -0800

Holiday doormats are one thing, but investing almost $500 in a holiday-themed rug is quite another. I'm all for holiday decorating, but I'm not sure I'd ever want to go to such lengths for my holiday home. How about you?

Could You Live in This Room?

You'd have to love pink, and monochromatic decorating, to really feel comfy in this overwhelmingly pink-and-patterned boudoir. Still, can you imagine how camouflaged you'd be if you wore matching pajamas?

Do You Decorate With Ruffles?

Kristina, from Tidy Tips Photography recently sewed these linen ruffle pillows for her home, and I love the way that the natural color offsets the girliness of the ruffles. Tell me, do you decorate with ruffles in your home?

Do You Hang a Thanksgiving Banner?

I love the look of this adorable Thanksgiving banner. It would look so festive hung on a porch to greet visitors, or even on a wall by the dinner table. I haven't done one before, but now I'm tempted. How about you?

Do You Allow Shoes on Your Couch?

In this photo from New Moon, Bella is all bundled up with her with her warm drink and hoodie and has made herself comfortable with her shoes on the couch. I'm sure once in a while I've done this, but in general shoes on the sofa are a no-no at my house. Do you allow it?

Does Your Thanksgiving Involve More Than One Table?

CasaSugar — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 11:30:42 -0800

Growing up, large family dinners, such as Thanksgiving and Christmas, always involved a grownups' table and a kids' table.

Since most of my adult meals have involved friends, not family, we no longer have a grownups' and kids' table, but we often have to have two or even three tables to accommodate all of the guests. It's fun having everyone pitch in to set up, and I love seeing how the conversations develop with each table.

Are You Bold With Pattern?

This raspberry-toned bedroom is certainly a delight for the senses. From its bright colors to its striped textiles to its metallic, patterned wallpaper, this bedroom seems more likely to wake one up than lull her to sleep. When you decorate, are you this bold with pattern?

Love It or Hate It? Ladies' Garments as Wall Décor

CasaSugar — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 14:00:04 -0800

I love the look of glam party dresses hung on the wall, but these gloves and vintage corsets seem a little risqué to me. Still, there's a vintage, feminine feel to this room, and the ladies' garments used here certainly contribute to that particular ambiance.

Do You Sleep on the Sofa When You Visit Friends or Family?

CasaSugar — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 11:00:53 -0800

Over the Thanksgiving holiday, my husband and I are staying at his mom's Whidbey Island retreat. Luckily, the house is big enough to allow us the luxury of staying in a guest bedroom. I've spent a good many nights sleeping on sofas, and I don't mind, but a guest bedroom is always a wonderful luxury!

Love It or Hate It? Pink Chandelier

CasaSugar — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 07:00:35 -0800

This pale pink chandelier from Lumos, a Tel Aviv lighting company, has a delicate shape and hints of Moroccan influence. It's definitely a statement maker for a room, but the pink color may be a turnoff. What's your take?
