Another thing I do with my oh-so-seldom free time is browse Rate My Space on hgtv.com.
Have you seen this? It is as compulsive-making as eating popcorn or searching the dark corners of junk stores.
People upload pictures of various rooms in their houses. Anyone viewing can attach comments, suggestions, compliments, questions.
Sometimes the people upload pics to show off their truly wonderful decorating. Sometimes they ask for help. Sometimes they THINK they are showing off but the audience' responds by suggesting ways to fix it.
I revel in the beauty. But, I really like to look for pics that are so bad only very brave souls are willing to offer advice. There was one, a living room, where the only advice was: throw away every piece of furniture, repaint, start over.
I find those, the lost and awful. I study the pics. I really put a lot of thought into the room, the furnishings, the arrangement, the colors. Then, I offer advice. Sometimes I am the only person who does.
That feels good, maybe I have helped someone.
Of course, when the room is stunning, gorgeous, magnificent; you better believe I happily add my voice to the cheering multitude.
