My cousin just moved in his new apartmenta month ago.It looks fantastic.He decorated and furnish it all by himself.I must say he has such good taste in interior decor. It could have been done by a professional designer. He did really an amazing job. Now I think to myself,maybe one day I could decorate and furnish my own apartment.If you are given a change to decorate your own apartment,would you be willing to do it yourself?What's your dream apartment or house?

well I could since this appartment came empty and I have had all my own furniture since 32 years. But I am not much of a decorator, I am very plain in my tastes. I wish I had the creative eye for decorating.

I will wanna decorate my own apartment if i have one myself.. I wun over decorate it to the extend of lavish.. INstead, i will opt for comfort rather than style.. Because home is a place that makes u the most comfortable. So wat's a house when it only looks stylish and nice but not comfortable at all?? hehe

I would like to have my own house someday. I will decorate it myself because I like decorating and so far, I got nice comments about my choices of decorations for my parents' house.

If I decorated my own place, it would be as plain as possible and nothing would ever get changed.

Oh I am so glad I have a good landlord this time! He let me paint the color i wanted which made all the difference. I am so tired of having white walls! I just wish I could have had a new carpet, but he couldn't afford it. So I just got rugs to cover it up. But I have enjoyed decorating it. I got new (used) leather furniture that I found on ebay and it was local so we picked it up. (5 piece sectional w/ottoman! $500!!) Then I had to get curtains, lamps and wall art. Most of it I found at the thrift store in town, or my storage. Friends that haven't been over for a while, now walk in and say WOW! I have heard everything from- it looks like a fancy hotel, penthouse, hippy den, bus station(?),nightclub, or a family member said "just what I would expect from you, you've always been a little bent"(?)But I think I've almost accomplished a nice, comfortable, unique little place that I like! #:)

Yes dear, I would also love to start from the scratch. Mine has been handed over and it was our parents place. I cannot change much in this because of the sentiments. I want to change but my memories of each and everything will not allow me to. I don't know what to do. I am getting myself mentally ready to change some of the things at least. I am not sure of my husband, even though the things are of my parents, he is very sentimental. I think he made me just like him by telling me things like these. I want to change, I don't know if I'll be successful.

I wish that I had an eye for colours and decorating, I watch the programmes on tv and it amazes me what they can do to a room, how they totally change it and make it look beautiful. If I had to do it, it would just look a mess as I just have not got a clue!! I have not got a dream house as such, but what I have always wanted is patio doors leading off from the dining room onto the garden, so that in the good weather I could sit by the doors and eat my meals.

I long wanted to redecorate my room but didn't know how ot do it coz I have many things with me with little space. I know what I wanted and asked a student Interior Decorator one time for a sketch but she just took the idea I gave. It would not hurt to do it myself though and it will give me chance to learn a lot of things. Just a nice clean place and like to be minimalist with a bit of bold colors.
