As in "one room shack".<br/><br/>Today we have twice the space, but it is best described as first year college dorm. I actually have swatches of paint on the wall as a "beard". When visitors say, "Oh, I see you're getting ready to paint," I just smile and nod. mmm…when we lived five to an 1,100 square foot space, my husband once referred to our style as “early american”.

For 2 grand, a couch shouldn't be ready for the landfill after a year!! Dammit!". <br/><br/>We moved three months ago and I'm STILL searching for the "welcome" hanger wreath thingy for the front door and a variety of other crap. I mean, stuff. <br/><br/>4pm, huh? Shall I bring anything :) If someone asks what style my furniture is, I’d have to go with “Um…expensive and I hate it. For 2 grand, a couch shouldn’t be ready for the landfill after a year!!

And we also used to call it by it's proper Swedish names! We also used to drive to the Seattle IKEA to eat meatballs, but that's another story.<br/><br/>Lisa, we DO have an actual bed, but it was totally a fluke--we found the headboard on a ginormous sale and my husband grudgingly agreed to buy it. But now he hates our mattress so there's that.<br/><br/>I think you should ALL move here and come play at my house! Right around 4:00 pm, when cocktail hour starts.
