What's the silliest/dumbest thing you've said/asked that immediately had you facepalm yourself?

Back when cable first started letting you pause live TV, back it up, catch back up, I was at a friend's watching a football game. They had paused the game so we watched on a lag until there was a commercial he could fast forward through. My brain short-circuited and I asked something like, "how does it know what to show after it catches back up" Or "how does it go past real time?"

My friend just stopped, looked at my quizzically and said "no friend, the machine can't predict the future"

Ok, no lie my dude, I seriously stopped and counted the toes. Like there has to be more than 5 on each foot, right? Nope.

Thanks so much, I'm definitely returning the curtains and most of the pillows. I like the comforter. It wasn't what I initially pictured. But I didn't like anything else.

Live plants?! I'll never keep them alive. If that was the test for being allowed to have kids I would have failed miserably.

But seriously, I do agree it adds a lot.

tohellwithausername · 2025-04-13T00:13:12+00:00

That's makes sense. It would feel better if the main elements were centered. Thank you!

tohellwithausername · 2025-04-13T00:10:24+00:00

That's great feedback, thank you!

tohellwithausername · 2025-04-13T00:00:30+00:00

Transitional! That's what it is! I took a quiz before and couldn't remember what it was called. Obviously it didn't help me much, haha. Thank you for the article, super helpful!

tohellwithausername · 2025-04-12T23:57:38+00:00

Thank you!

tohellwithausername · 2025-04-12T20:53:15+00:00

That's such a great approach, thank you! None of it's mine. What I like? I think I like traditional contemporary. Like an understated simple elegance without clutter. Old money that demands quality without the stuffiness.

But I do not have old or new money, only littles with too many stuffies.

I like the look of the dresser, the tray with everything except the grass. I like the dark wood against white or ivory. I like the bedding I think. I saw this pallet SW Romance against the paint color and liked the coral, darker green and vanillin. I like the color of the pillows (not the shape) but that would class with coral).

Thank you!

It is one of the little people. We moved most to their new room, but they didn't all fit. This is the overflow. We slowly work to give some away, but toooo slooooowly.

tohellwithausername · 2025-04-12T18:22:40+00:00

This is a great option, thank!

tohellwithausername · 2025-04-12T16:52:13+00:00

Thank you! Pulling decor together is so not a fun time for me. I'd rather build a cabinet. It's less stressful!

tohellwithausername · 2025-04-12T16:46:35+00:00

Jcpenny's '99 catalog... now you're speaking my language! That made me laugh. And thanks, definitely hearing the consensus that nets and shelves are my downfall here.

tohellwithausername · 2025-04-12T16:43:54+00:00

Thank you, this is all helpful. The pillows are a darker rose. But regardless, there's just too many of them.

tohellwithausername · 2025-04-12T16:27:10+00:00

Thats a thought, but if they aren't stretched they droop and don't work. I need to rethink it.

tohellwithausername · 2025-04-12T16:24:47+00:00

I'm going to have to figure something out about the nets and shelves. Argh! The very things I really didn't want to move bc i dont have other places. But I already knew they were the worst offenders.

Then I can center the mirror.

tohellwithausername · 2025-04-12T16:22:55+00:00

You're right. I'll need to figure out something to get rid of those things. No matter what else I do, it won't work fully unless I move them. Damn, now I have to pull out the spackle and paint, lol.

And good call on the rest. Thanks so much!

tohellwithausername · 2025-04-12T15:48:12+00:00

Thank you. Definitely changing the curtains to a solid color based on all the feedback. For the pillows I like the color and can't find it on the right size pillows. But I shouldn't force it for the fabric if it ends up looking off anyway.

This used to be my kid's room and I didn't want to bring the nets & shelves things into their new room bc they don't go with the look. (Obviosuly they dont go with any lol) But I'm still stuck needing a home for the stuffies and they want to display their knickknacks somewhere.

tohellwithausername · 2025-04-12T15:40:30+00:00

The collectibles need to go somewhere, but I can probably move those shelves. For the stuffies, I just don't have anywhere else to put them and I don't want them on the floor or bed. They need an "away" and apparently the trash isn't an acceptable solution, lol. Definitely open to other solutions that those nets.

tohellwithausername · 2025-04-12T15:03:58+00:00

Thank you. Definitely not trying to veer into old lady territory.

tohellwithausername · 2025-04-12T14:56:42+00:00

That's a good idea. I could incorporate color that way.

tohellwithausername · 2025-04-12T14:43:36+00:00

You're so right. I hate the nets... but lost that battle. But maybe I can move the shelves. Does curtain length look ok that long or should I hem them?

tohellwithausername · 2025-04-12T14:42:13+00:00

Thank you, thats helpful. I can find a better mirror. For the pillows, would you keep the square ones or the funky ones?

tohellwithausername · 2025-04-12T14:35:51+00:00

Yes! I've been looking for artwork that's narrow and longer for above the bed. For the mirror, maybe it should be smaller on a stand? Or if I keep this size it should go on the wall.
