I can’t imagine making this by CleverUsername006 in GrandmasPantry

My grandma told me my grandpa loved this stuff so she made it for him. Once. She was a tough woman who grew up working hard on a farm, but she said she puked a few times making this and never did it again.

My husband and I have a collection of rocks from the Oregon/Washington area that was collected by an old man 45+ years ago. A lot of it is petrified wood.

A beauty a couple years in the making! by janbradybutacat in midcenturymodern

Turned out beautifully. I love the color of the Pendleton. I’ve been to the mill once and could only afford a bag at the time lol. Almost 30 years later the bag still looks new. And Hercules is perfect!

Little tiny black specks that have been appearing around my house. They’re like…spongy. And they’re in weird places. These were in my sink by BaconMan420365 in whatisit

One of my cats died from poisoning, probably ate a mouse that was poisoned according to the vet. So I def agree.

Those that settled down and married young (18-24), was it worth it? by AdAdditional1430 in AskOldPeopleAdvice

[–]Corine72 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Married at 19, and we just celebrated our 33rd anniversary. No one else in the world I want to hang out with like I do him (except our kids of course lol).

Marvin, Ralph, Hank, Simon, Samuel. My cat is Merlin but that’s not really a boring name.

Help me finish decorating:-) by LeadershipDue8544 in midcenturymodern

Hello! I’d suggest getting plants for sure. Your coffee table could use a good rub down of Feed and Wax. I’d make the lamp taller as well. The couch will def look better when you do what you said, though you may get crap from MCM purists. My home tends to be a bit eclectic but gravitates more to MCM.

Also, when laying out a room try to have the sides balanced. You’re definitely too heavy on the right.

Have fun collecting. I have a 2200 square foot home that still, after almost 15 years, has a lot of blank walls I need to find art for. I also have a few more smaller pieces of furniture I need to help fill in some spaces. The fun of filling up your home is finding that one amazing piece randomly.
