apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

Ooohh, love that table!

She never ceases to amaze me. She's the master!

Just lovely!!!!

Had to come back to this after looking at Lindsay Dann's place in LA. This is so calm and beautiful - you can breathe in a room like this.

awesome. Makes me feel happy and calm at the same time.

i love the look of uncluttered!

This is lovely! I can see myself living there!

Nice to see Rico's still hanging around! ;-)

I do like the picture at the top in one of the references:

It's the white, pink, brown that I adore. Probably because of this image that I have loved for years:

Without the pink branches and pillow highlighted, I don't much care for it.

What is it I am supposed to be seeing in the top photo for this post? Is it just to get people thinking about rearranging their rooms? If so, it would have helped to have the "before" images posted IN this thread.

Otherwise, the reader is left to go exploring four other links:

To figure out what it IS that has been changed or rearranged. People LIKE makeovers and before-after combinations. Most folks don't like homework. Hence all the "Good Questions" posts, with people trying to track down various products or get ideas when they draw a blank.

There's a lot of stuff on this site. Some stands out for ME and I remember where it was or who it was. Other things don't stand out to ME, so I don't remember ANYTHING about them. This was on I did not remember, and so the image of a table and some chairs doesn't DO anything for me. But it DOES do something for those who remember or who follow that person.

Since it's good to attract more readers, new readers, those readers would not have had the benefit of seeing all that came before. And they probably aren't going to do the homework either. Read through four other links. UNLESS there's a catchy "before and after" pair of images that will encourage them, spark their curiosity, make them WANT to read EVERY SINGLE DETAIL of what has been done.

This is a perfect example...if all you did was put up this after shot, most people would skip on by:
http://www.bhg.com/decorating/decorating-style/cottage/country-cottage-home-makeover/

Unless you point out the before image, while the decking was being built to realize that is a single wide trailer under that new roof:
http://www.bhg.com/decorating/decorating-style/cottage/country-cottage-home-makeover/?page=10

"It started as a dilapidated flat-roofed 12-x-60-foot trailer home!...The addition of several porches and decks expanded the living space from a mere 720 square feet to about 2,400 square feet. Read on and see the inside styled with a 1940s look in yellow and pink."

True Blue - Give it a rest. Please.

I agree with True Blue, I was totally confused as to why I should even click on the link if there were other links that I had to further click to get any sense of a story.

Why would the post be all about a "rearrange" with no images after the jump and no reference point except in links?
