saucydwellings

Happy Friday everyone! Last Friday's Saucy Cats post was delightfully popular, so we decided to extend the pet theme to this week to include all of your 'Saucy Pets'.

Next week we'll do Winter/Holiday decorating. Whatever you do for this time of year, even if it's Elvis.

Have fun and bon weekend.

Happy Friday everyone! It's time to bring on your saucy kittehs.

Have fun and bon weekend.

I've always been working towards posting here, but due to budgetary constraints and lack of inherent sauciness in my previous abodes, I've always felt a bit constrained - I wanted to leave off on posting until things really were up to both my standards and the standards of the community.
Luckily, having moved into a fairly beautiful flat with great bones, I've been able to put together a bit more awesomeness. My house will be ready for a tour soon - I'm still working on the finishing touches for my bedroom and the bathroom - but I had my living room looking almost right, posted some pictures to the Open Sauce thread and got encouragement from silly_narziss to make a separate post.
In that thread I was bemoaning the lack of a coffee table (since that was the #1 thing precluding me from feeling like it was just about right). Today, on wandering into the Salvation Army since I hadn't been thrifting for a while, I found a cute little retro table for $10! So with that boost in mind, I cleaned and organised the living room so I could take a few more shots and make a full post as a preview of things to come.

( I like red, thrift stores and mid-century stylings... )

Hello hello! I've posted my past couple of apartments here - which i shared with roommates - but my husband and i recently moved into our own little place in somerville, ma. I've been working on it for about 6 months and, though it certainly isn't "finished", i think it's ready for it's saucydwellings debut.

this post will focus on the bedroom, studio and living room - the kitchen and bathroom still need a LOT of work.

( lotsa pictures )

Alright ladies and gentleman. I'm not sure if this is saucy, but this room is just not going to ever get any better than this. And, this is the last chance to document this space, because after seven years it's finally time to move on. I start packing next week, we're moving.
This has been the space and place where I have been figuring it out, making it work, developing a style, and finally, creating a successful art business and supporting myself. The room and I have grown around and into each other over the past 7 years, everything is in constant motion. The walls are perforated with a thousand push-pins. I never replaced that horrid pink carpeting, I never took down the wallpaper border that I hate more than anything - of course now that we have tenants moving in soon, we're replacing everything. Go fig. But for today, it's still my room and I'd like to invite you in for a beer.



picture HEAVY.

Happy Friday everyone! Let's see your saucy bedside tables this week.

Next week will be Thanksgiving/Autumn Redux.

Have fun and bon weekend!

Hello, everyone. I'm really excited to be posting my VERY FIRST AFTER PICTURES! My home is 1950 cypress built. When I got the house, pretty much everything was pink (including the molding). What started out as a little project became a pain in the neck for me and my dad and a gut job.

In the end, I wanted something relaxing that would not overwhelm such a small space. I added a touch of royalty for my little girl, and voila.



( before & after! )

Thanks for looking!

We bought a new house in April and have been working since then to get it finished. I keep saying I'll do one big post when it's done, but instead it seems I'm going room-by-room. I posted my son's room and our patio in recent months. I'm hoping soon to post our living room/hallway, kitchen/dining room and bathroom. But for now, here's our bedroom that we just finished yesterday (save one or two finishing touches). As always, you can click on a photo to see a bigger version on Flickr.

So, I've been working on this freehand painting of a tree for a few weeks now and I've finally finished it (mostly). I still need to do the bits that extend up onto the ceiling, but I'm in the stage where I step back for a few days and decide where extra foliage (if any) is needed. I'm rather pleased with it..if I do say so myself, so I thought I would share it here..in the saucy place. ;)

Happy Friday everyone! This week we'd like to how you display/store your books.

Have fun and bon weekend!

Happy Friday! This week we'd like to see your saucy bathrooms. Again, if you've done some work and have before photos, please show them to us!

Next week we'll ask to see your favorite book storage/display solutions.




Also...We're interested in changing the graphic we use for the Friday Salon. We'd like to put it out to you guys to see what you can come up with.

- We'd like to have a sophisticated lounge in feel. It can still look retro. Always a bonus with me.
- No more than 550 pixels wide

And *gasp* you can send them to me via my LJ messaging!
ETA: I'm a diptard. I don't think you can send images via LJ so please send them to our mod email addy.
sdshmods @ gmail.com. Thanks!

Have fun and bon weekend!

I finally finished my son's room and wanted to post it on here. I think I have posted bits and pieces before but not the entire room.




( Come See More! )

Happy Friday! I posted last week that we'd revisit Autumn decorations today but honestly, I'm just not feeling it today. We'll do it soon.

So...let's change it up a bit and have you guys post your favorite DIY project(s). Before shots are a bonus.

Have fun and bon weekend!
