Remember these bad boys?

Um, yeah, well...they still look like that!! LOL. We have not done ONE THING to them!! At the very least we really need to get the cabinet doors for the bottom shelves, which are supposed to actually be cabinets, although you wouldn't know it from the picture!!
I have this problem with accessorizing. I like too many things that are not similar in style, ya know? I like all styles of decoration, but mostly my taste is contemporary casual. I learned that from a quiz on hgtv.com :) I long ago decided that I wanted to do a white/silver/gray/glass theme for our house after we painted, but I soon learned that I needed something to warm it up because it was looking a little cold, so I decided to include some dark wood tones. But the problem is that when I go to stores to shop for accessories, I tend to get overwhelmed and forget about my "theme"! So today I made this, with all of my favorite ideas. I'm going to print it out and carry it around in my purse so that I'll always have it when accessory shopping!
As you can see, I'm very busy at work today! :)

LOL- I love it! My decorating style is "eclectic," which is good for me since nothing I own matches. Hehe.

That is such a great idea! I had a hard time decorating my first house because I also liked so many different things and it ended up being too crazy and cluttered! I would love to think that I know better now :-)

DId you guys make those shelves??
What else do you want to do to them besides cabinet doors? They look great.
UM,ya...and I hear you on the decorating. I want so many different things, and I can't decide so I JUST do not decorate...AT ALL! Oh, except for that art work I got framed for an outrageous price and ripped off on at M*chaels.

That's a great idea! I might have to do that myself because I have the exact same problem! You have some really cute ideas on your wish list!

This is a great idea! I always get so distracted when I am shopping and end up coming home with a piece that doesn't match anything else and was not what I was going for.
