If that's a game, I used to play Gardens of Time, before Houzz took over.

can we see your rug?

Hi, Mia, I'm closing my Houzz account. I wanted to say thank you for having me on your thread, and all the best for the future. The yearbook is getting deleted, you can download it to USB. Love Chook xxoo

And the saga continues......

Turning off notifications sounds like a reasonable response.

HI whynot, how are you doing these days?

Well, thanks. Getting ready to go black in the LR. :D

Whoa- you are brave!!

It's going to be awesome! Can't wait. Just have to get my dear sons over to get it done. Using Valspar's Deep Kettle Black on the walls.

I will have to come to your thread and watch the transformation. Warn everyone;))

LOL..it's a slow one.... just adding things as I find them. I think it's going to be a fun room once it's done...just going to take a while.

Also confusing the heck outta everybody 'cause I'm working on my den as well so it gets a bit twisted around.

And the whole world's watching. I give up. You win. Be happy in all you plan to do in your life. I wish you nothing but the best.

Enough!

This is wrong. This is wrong.

Now Chook, PLEASE, calm yourself down!!! Think of what you are saying, Chook! Please. You are lashing out at everyone and I truly believe you are misinterpreting what Rina wrote and what others are trying to say to you here. We are NOT trying to hurt you, anger you, or belittle you. Please stop hurting yourself and your heart by continuing in this combative way. None of us wants to cause you hurt or ill. You must understand that, dear.

Let me tell you, Chook, a finer, more devoted or loyal friend you will never know than Rina. She would never intentionally say anything disparaging about you in this forum or in any other. I realize you are entited to your opinion but mine is that you found the most noble of friends when you found Rina.

I may not know much about the yearbook. I may not know about a lot of stuff. But I know good people. These are my friends and I am deeply troubled that you are talking to them and about them this way.

These have been your friends too. I do not know why you have forgotten this or ever believed otherwise.

Mia

i'm sorry for disrupting your thread. My comment's removed. Carry on ladies!

I have done the same, Mia.

Dear Mia and all. My apologies for drawing wrath on to this thread. I have woken to an email from Chook, asking me to delete my comment about Yearbook. Of course I have done so and I'm sorry it upset her and made her feel defamed.

She also thinks, however, that I have got "my friends" to come into the debate on my side, which is not the case. Anyone who commented subsequent to my comment did so on their own account. I did not mention to anyone at all that I had commented or ask anyone to comment in any way whatsoever. I don't want anyone to think that others cannot do what they wnat to of their own free will. In any case, I didn't think there was a debate. I was in bed shortly after commenting.

I have just read the comments above. Not a lot the wiser, with the deletions. Never mind. What is, is.

Housemouse and all "lurkers", I apologise to you too. Please stay with Houzz and post questions. This is just one corner of a remarkable place, full of helpfulness. I didn't know I was being offensive, but I should probably just stay clear of the subject I posted on.

By way of explanation, I was asleep through the row. I'm in S Africa.

Sending ((hugs)) to you, Rina. I'm so sorry you're going thru all of this. We all know what a beautiful, remarkable woman you are. There's no need to apologize for anything.

Totally agree, Rina! We all you know you are one of the classiest, most dignified peeps on Houzz......which you demonstrated once again in your response to this latest blip in the Universe!

Rina - you have absolutely nothing to apologize for. Period.

Thank you.

Ladies..... Luke and Emily have repeatedly urged us to "Use the flag" to report inappropriate comments.

I believe this is one of those times!

I decided a long time ago to stay off the threads, chook. I could no longer stand to see all the insane trolling and nonsensical links.

Simple, warm and welcoming. It's really lovely

Looks fabulous Mia!

Beautiful, Mia!!! Thanks for sharing your photos with us!

I still can not believe that I have a leather sectional in my house - the size of a Buick! But it is not too horrible. The stitching is rather nice - gives it a rustic farmhouse feel - believe it or not!

You made it look as if it belongs there, how many does it seat?

Don't know how I missed your post Mia. This is lovely!

So good to see you back, Mia. That's a wonderful room. My favourite things are the rug and the printer's tray, but of course the wonder is how it all works so effortlessly together. Ja, I know, effortlessly ha!

Amount of people sitting there depends on if it is all boy or girl/boy. They seem to squeeze more when it is girl/boy! Although I did go up once, quietly, and four of the boys were sitting on a bench playing on the PS4. A friend and his girl friend (behind the boys on the sectional) were laying on the couch. Boy! Can teens move fast! He turned beet red - I've known him all his life - and the guys all just cracked up! Ignoring the situation, I asked if they wanted me to order pizza. Sometimes I can't believe what happens in this house! Next post... how I found a girl's thong when I got back from key West!

Ha! Some things never change!!

OMG, Mia! Hahahahaha....I dunno if we wanna hear the story of your Key West return home!!

LOL...bubbas...then I'm sure you wouldn't want to hear of the unclothed girl on the steps outside my DD's apartment that her DH found one morning as he left to go to work. Apparently, there was quite a party downstairs the night before. :D

Would love some help, not sure how to post a question but found this thread.
We are changing the sofa and window treatment for this room.
Trying to decide what type of window treatment will look best. I love shutters but am not keen on the idea of not having the space to physically open them.
Thanks In advance.
