    well first we need to know your personality before we can give you guidance. are you the life of the party or you a mellow type person?

    If you want colourful, purple and blue. One colour more than the other, with bold chunky streaks of the other- you could pull it off.
    If you want subtle, a caramel balayage

    Shall I post photos of my past hair colors?

    I am not "the life of the party", but it is rare for me for my hair to be a "normal" color. This year marks the first year in over a decade that I have seen my natural hair color.

    I like bright, flashy gaudy things (to wear), but I am a mellow "wallflower" personality.

    Okay, there's a ton of pictures, so forgive me. I'll try to condense:

    It's also been black with orchid highlights and orange, but I don't have photos of those because that was back in the "before times". When people had bricks for phones and whatnot. :lol:

    The dark teal color from the pic with the sunglasses is my favorite of the colors. You pull off alot of colors well though, that's impressive!

    I really like the cut in the picture where you have an antler (?) In your hair.

    I like the 3rd and 5th photos best but that is my favourite colour.

    I thought you'd be limited to darker shades because your natural colour is dark but I see you've been successful with lighter ones too.

    Looks cool but probably tricky to accomplish.

    Depends. What do you have to go with the ramen? If you can add veggies or meats/egg/tofu, you can go far with basic ramen packs. :yum:

    I love the purple and blue combo!! Maybe green but lighter than what you had before. I also like the orange/black. Way to be adventurous and fun!!!

    Are there any interior decorators here?

    5wvk4kw1xh1e.jpg

    I'm trying to figure out how to finish out this space. I need some book storage for 15-20 books. There is about 3 feet between the end of the desk and the wall, I could do a short bookshelf you can't see from this angle down there. I was going to put some pictures above the chair, but I could potentially put two shelves above it and put the pictures above the desk instead? I'm thinking book shelves above the desk would be too much in front of the window. The lamp will go, it's not needed

    Thoughts?

    (Please ignore the mess, just stuff crammed over there until I figure things out!)

    What about a smallish bookshelf right in front of your window? You could put plants on the top of it. Then, depending on how many pictures you have, you can scatter them throughout the room.

    BTW, I love that you have a walkout space, onto a deck(?). I'd love something like that, into my backyard! But our back year-round sun room is about 8' off the ground so would need stairs down into the yard.

    That's definitely an interesting thought I hadn't considered. I do like my plants :)

    Yes, that's my back deck. That is one thing I love about this house, lots of natural light in all the rooms along the back wall and we have 4 sliding doors that go out there, 2 in the master/this little office is part of the master room, our living room, and dining room. Just have to be careful in the summer because those doors all get full afternoon sun so that can heat things up a bit.

    So my cat laid down and fell asleep on my to-do list. Do I disturb the cat and get my list, or do I just take a nap?

    Definitely take a nap. It’ll give you the energy needed to complete the list later on.

    So what did you end up doing with the reading nook/exercise space?

    Cat=nap for both of you.
    No decision necessary because said cat made it for you.

    Maybe this belongs in iMago's relationship advice thread but too lazy to look it up ATM. But what do you do if you're in a relationship(long haul) when your goals clearly do NOT align with your partner's? It's like you're living 2 separate lives. But not.
