I too would love the approval of everyone and feel like I am doing something wrong if someone says something bad about my house ! I had pics of my house on RMS too and I got some bad comments because my house looked too clean & sweet !! Can you believe some people?? I am so glad that you are doing what makes you happy and decorating your home for your pleasure and not anyone else !! I think your home is fantastic : )<br />Hugs ~<br />BenitaBenitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14280797631815831932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2551039893085903284.post-34323702192449119202010-01-30T20:10:09.886-05:002010-01-30T20:10:09.886-05:00Oh, I so know how you feel.

Blogland is a lot friendly, although in the last few months I've begun to get the occasional nasty comment...you know, the kind that are mean just for the sake of being mean, and no other purpose. Right about the same time a troll appeared and started leaving the occasional sick comment, I started getting those foreign language spam comments that were really advertisements, so I started moderating to keep them from posting. Well, wouldn't ya know, my troll disappeared as soon as they realized their mean comments would never see the light of day. :-) Yep, we do have control here in Blogland. :-)<br />I'm so glad you left your room exactly the way you want it. Personally, I think it's lovely as is! Your rug fits beautifully under your coffee table. LOVE the way you have the mantel decorated with the tall candlesticks...beautiful And what a wonderful DH you have to buy such a wonderful table that he knew you would love! :-)Susan (Between Naps On The Porch.net)https://www.blogger.com/profile/09655622740971576915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2551039893085903284.post-49551821385144978602010-01-29T17:21:26.113-05:002010-01-29T17:21:26.113-05:00Thank you for entering my Spring giveaway sweet fr...Thank you for entering my Spring giveaway sweet friend! *Smiles*Melissa Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04112514946365838427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2551039893085903284.post-5841014535342814992010-01-29T01:13:34.031-05:002010-01-29T01:13:34.031-05:00Hi!

I guess because they are unseen they can say whatever. I would never have the nerve to post a room. Just like you said, it would fill me with anxiety and I don't need that!<br /><br />Your room is perfect. It's big, cozy, lots of places to sit, all the things a family needs and loves. :)Staceyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05728612514516285320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2551039893085903284.post-7007732636338721852010-01-28T11:53:46.150-05:002010-01-28T11:53:46.150-05:00Hi Kim, Market was unbelievable!

When Sherry owned the shop we would buy a ton of stuff and my paycheck would usually be gone when everything started coming in. That's the only way I have what I have now! Sherry still buys some things for herself and booth up north, but we mainly go for fun now. I recieved the payment...$18 would have been fine...but thank you. I will be posting my jewelry soon!

My grandkids teased me so much about it. And, like you, I FINALLY learned to get the heck outa there and start a blog. Kim at DAISY COTTAGE told me once that rooms should NEVER be rated...just loved.

A few weeks ago, I sent pics of my bedroom to a blogger who consults for free. She posts your pics and her suggestions on her blog. Talk about mean spirited! I'm too embarrassed to comment because I don't want others to be able to know whose room it is and who she made all those snarky comments to. Like others have commented--it's my bedroom and I'll have it the way I want it! Now I'm off to the shed to bring back my silk plants--no matter what SOME PEOPLE think about them!

The way I see it, if you love it - it's perfect :) If you set it all up to please someone else, you wouldn't love it as much! And for what it's worth, I think your space is beautiful! It's very warm and inviting...and I never even NOTICED the size of your rug :)Brittanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00105831355372502517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2551039893085903284.post-5292682343602604912010-01-25T21:16:49.737-05:002010-01-25T21:16:49.737-05:00You go girl.You go girl.mustard seedshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18149692177032280743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2551039893085903284.post-66594260106167826932010-01-25T20:01:11.885-05:002010-01-25T20:01:11.885-05:00Hey Kim,

So glad I am not over there anymore though, but I am forever grateful for it, because I met so many sweet people that I still love to death, that started blogs, after leaving rate my space. I would have never even known what a blog was had I not been at RMS...but I agree with everything you said about it. For a long time I took away all of my faux flowers after being criticized over there by the meanies...but I eventually brought them all back though, because they make me feel happy. I've decided that our homes are our own and they should be any way we want them. I love to tweak too! I was yardsalequeen over there, at RMS, thus my name Queenie was born from RMS friend Picket and other sweet girls that started calling me Queenie. We had some fun times over there, but blogging is so much more friendly, inspiring and fun. <br />By the way...I think your living room, with all of your own pretty touches here and there is gorgeous...just like you have it, I wouldn't change a thing. Gosh, I must be the most long winded commenter ever. I wonder if there is therapy for people like me that think they have to write a book!

I did ...I like you spent every free moment on RMS. I did get a lot of ideas from there. I learned what was outdated (wallpaper border, scalloped valances over the sink and brass in the bathroom). I saved kitchens I liked and found that the common denominator was white cabinets. I played it safe on my first post and posted my back yard. My second post was my newly remodeled kitchen. I found that high rated pretty rooms never changed. Then like you, I became a blogger.Karen at Nittany Inspirationshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08789043947926863264noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2551039893085903284.post-80861387258371172782010-01-25T19:34:55.539-05:002010-01-25T19:34:55.539-05:00Girl ...

They are simply envious of your beautiful home and obvious talent ... and are reminded of the lack of their own creativity. The fact that they don't even have their own space(es) on RMS is a true indicator of that as well !! Keep showcasing your awesome talents !! And, by the way, I *just* saw your comment on my Xmas home tour ... you are too funny !! (And, thanks!)

I LOVED this post. I just read and read.....Mallory,<br />I LOVED this post. I just read and read...because I was right with you! <br />I got hooked on RMS about a year ago, only because I was looking for ideas for my own home. I found all kinds of spaces and my heart just went out to people who had the courage to open up their homes {and hearts}to the world for inspection! I'm at the end of my 40's and the one thing I've learned is that you need to be true to yourself...you're ok...you were made to be JUST the way you are! I'll bet that even if you went to 10 different "professionals" you'd get 10 different opinions. So, again, I think you are smart to take your pics off...who needs negativity?! If you love your room, then it's perfect for you! BTW, I found blogland through RMS too. I haven't been back {to RMS} too much, I'm finding all the inspiration I need through wonderful, supportive, creative people who are NOTHING but KIND here is blogland. I'm happy for you that you have made such a bold decision to stand on your own two feet! Good for you! For what it's worth, I love your room. I looks so warm and relaxing...just perfect!<br />SharlotteSharlottehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08685297014593446248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2551039893085903284.post-18722830808294331212010-01-25T18:17:45.319-05:002010-01-25T18:17:45.319-05:00I was never on RMS, and from what I have heard - g...I was never on RMS, and from what I have heard - glad was not.
