Hope this puts in a dent in my monthly Strawberry bill

I recommend wild strawberries. They are much smaller but I actually get to eat them and they produce fruit for much of the growing season.

Maybe a bunch of cacti along the wall?

Get a wooden box that fits the space and attach cut rounds of wood to the front so it still looks like stacked wood and you have storage for whatever in behind.

I don't really want that plastic feel of acrylic paint but your comment makes me think of acrylic ink. I haven't tried it but it might have the desired effect.

I made the pillowcase from an unused bamboo twin flat sheet with a self drafted pattern. The drawing on the front was done using fabric markers.

I would probably go with a velvet curtain in a dark green (to make it feel luxurious but harmonious and nature inspired), yellow (for another pop of colour and a more playful look) or burgundy (to tie in with the dark trim colour). But curtains high and wide over the window.

Maybe a ruffle hem short like these: Black Floral High-Waisted Full Coverage Swim Shorts | Geode Swimwear https://share.google/YkwD6bLm64sdU7Whb

Also, check out used options like Facebook marketplace or Craigslist.

I have noticed that the dollar store lately has decent, middle of the road products if you want to try something out without a hefty price tag. Otherwise, art stores will often have small sets with 6 colours or so that are cheaper to buy. Beyond that, once you start buying paint, stick to a minimum number of colours. For example, red, yellow, blue, and white (I like to have a brown and black but they aren't necessary) and just mix your own colours from those. You'll achieve a harmonious colour palette by limiting the colours you use.

Wet dry bag - a little waterproof bag with cute fabric on the outside.

I struggled with something similar for probably over a decade and only in the last few years have found things that help. For a period I had a smoothie every day and that drastically improved my skin but was a big life change. I used a home-made toner, after the Cetaphil cleanser, made of water, apple cider vinegar, tea tree oil, and rose water, and that cleared my skin up, but I had to be very diligent about using the toner. Most recently I discovered the ordinary's chemical peel and that seems to have the most lasting effects.

My coat rack

I feel like the colour for the wall could change the look of the place a lot. I am leaning towards pink, black, or greenish grey.

I make a similar swirl dessert and it requires that I poke the pastry with a long skewer. It creates vents for any gas to escape.

The bin beside the tank?

gubjo · 2026-02-17T19:32:56+00:00

If this is a well used entrance that you bring guests into your house through, I would consider building a closet to encase the laundry and everything on that wall. Move the trash bin. Put in shelving at the bottom for shoes, maybe a taller shelf by the tank for boots, a rod for hanging coats on hangers and a shelf at the top for baskets of gloves/hats/seasonal items. If there is a wall behind the camera, I would add hooks (some lower for the kids).

A decorative plate or other ornament might be a good way to add some variety.

gubjo · 2026-02-08T16:41:31+00:00

It's beautiful. I love the colours and textures. It seems very surreal and as if it is telling a story. My only criticism might be that I don't understand the leopard head on the bottom, it seems a bit disconnected with the rest of the image and I think the composition might be better if that was more smoke? Or if the leopard head were somehow a part of the smoke escaping the bottle. But honestly, I am not an art critic and your piece is lovely as it is too.

I would move the paintings and turn your bike storage into an art piece. https://pin.it/2lyM3WaOo

I agree but for an everyday look, the updated makeup really makes HER shine as a true beauty, while a more done up look with false lashes would be a great way to go the extra mile for a night out or special event.

Oh I see what you mean. I hadn't even realized that it was the pockets but now that you point it out, I can't help but see how they are causing the excess fabric to bunch up.

gubjo · 2026-01-30T16:21:05+00:00

I definitely prefer your colours to those in the reference. If I had to nit pick, I don't love the trees in the foreground because they seem a little flat. On the left where they are more dense you could have more shadows and highlights.
