Growing up, nothing satisfied us more than a neat room. To us, having everything in its place was a great feeling--and it's a standard that has followed us into adulthood. We recognize a kindred spirit in Candace's three neat rooms (and it doesn't hurt that we admire her decorating style)...
3 Neat Rooms
Relying on primary colors, Candace mixes and matches patterned bedding, teeny artwork and magazine files to unify her bedroom space.
Sticking to mainly yellow and white the addition of dark wood blinds and a side table is classic and upbeat.
A grouping of artwork set against white, wood walls makes the living room feel clean and orderly. A wicker pendant lamp and sheer green curtain panels stick with the room's light and airy vibe.

Nothing fancy shmancy. Just a clean, simple, and a very comfy place...I can definitely live there!

Is that art '60 inches from the floor?

@JoniRae
That's exactly what I was thinking.

I love the style of this home and more importantly I love the organization and neatness as well. Having things in their place and organized can make for such a better room.

So simple and beautiful. And I think the side table is part of the couch, actually. I would love to live there.

:) I should probably just mention that my house does not always look like this BUT I do like to keep organized. We have two young children (1 and 2) and without organization it would be pure chaos. Art has to be hung a bit higher, books, media, and files have to be tucked away, and we dust and vacuum like crazy.
@Emily Sneds - Yes it is part of the sofa! It's actually a pull-out sofa and the sideboard folds outwards to extend the bed.

Just what I was going to ask: is all of the bedding IKEA?

"We" and "us" is Beth Ziegler, this blog entry's author (see her name at the bottom of the entry. This is one thing I dislike about AT - the use of the editorial we.

yep, this is one of those entries where the editorial 'we' seems especially ridiculous and annoying.
it is by far AT's most grating habit.

cool rooms. I have always been a clean/neat freak ever since I was little. If one single thing is out of place I have to fix it.
why is the "we" so annoying people? Get over it. Maybe she's talking about HER AND SIBLINGS OR someone in her family GROWING UP. She could say "I" but who really cares? Who HONESTLY cares?!
It's just a word you read. It's really no different either way.

pniccole, you obviously care a great deal. thanks for the ALL CAPS and the lesson in what the royal 'we' REALLY MEANS.

if it were no different either way, why would they do it to begin with? :-P (i do not like the "we", it is always very stilted and artificial.)
but more to the point - this is a beautiful place, thank you for posting it.
