All my rooms match they are all covered in an assortment of wrestlers, Legos, Minecraft stuff, plastic swords, Nerf guns, video games and books. I have given up trying to keep them in one place unless we are going to have company.

No, I'm lazy and it seems like an awful lot of effort for something that no one but me sees. I have recently decided though that I would like to make an attempt at decorating my bedroom. I bought a new bedding set. That was 4 months ago and that is all I've done. I know what I want I just do not like the price tags associated with putting the room together. I figure paint, trim boards, headboard for the bed, ceiling fan, and a few other miscellaneous items is going to cost me about $1000. I don't like that at all.

I like things to look like they belong together and most of the house is decorated. I don't like to buy matched sets of furniture, but over time have replaced our original mishmash with pieces that I love. Priority went to the public rooms, then our bedroom and a couple of years ago the kids graduated to more adult sized furniture. The only rooms I haven't done since moving into this house are the bathrooms and laundry room (I'm holding out for remodels that haven't happened yet) and the kitchen (we did paint to get rid of the country stencils that are not my style). We have a mishmash of outdooor furniture that is on my radar to tackle next, so to answer the question, I guess I put the same effort into all rooms, inside and out

I agree bc2ca. I don't care for matched sets of furniture either. I like things to coordinate but a sofa, loveseat and side chair that all look exactly alike, not my thing. Same with the end table, coffee table, sofa table, decorator pack. Or the bedroom suite of furniture that all look alike. Some people can pull it off, but it's just not my thing.

If clutter counts as decor then I put all my effort into decorating each and every room! Seriously though, I had almost every room at my old place decorated except the office and our master bedroom. My favorite decorated rooms were my bathrooms and the kids' room. I've barely done anything to this house now, but there are a few public areas that have some simple decor.

Yes. However I'm a former interior designer, so having a pleasant looking and comfortable home is very important to me. Maybe more so than for others? I also have a 975 SF condo, so it's not like I've got tons of rooms to decorate I moved in just over a year ago (entirely new furnishings other than a few family pieces), and I'm already thinking about redoing my bedroom. It's a sickness....

Yes and minimal - but I don't have a colour, or other, scheme running throughout the whole house.

Yes, I do. I am a frustrated interior designer and I love decorating. Every room in my house if fair game for my attempts. The dumping ground in our house is currently the family room. Our master BR is a normal size room and therefore too small to dump stuff in. Laundry gets put away immediately any way. But I am on a tear right now getting rid of unnecessary stuff, so there is less around. I try to go to Goodwill/Savers at least once a week. What? Look in each others closets and cabinets? Maybe I am being gullible regarding the post, but I find that a tad creepy. We just think it's fun. How is going through a girlfriend's closet creepy? Don't you play clothes and jewelry and makeup with your girlfriends? Play clothes and jewelry and makeup with my friends? Not since I was a teenager. I guess I don't see the fun of opening up other people's closets and cabinets, but have at it.

The bedrooms are definitely half-assed. Everything else is pretty together, though.

I live in an apartment, so yes. I have to make the most of what I've got and it isn't much work to decorate four rooms thoughtfully. When I had a house, I was always working on one room or another. Usually by the time I got them all done it was time to start over. Same thing with inside vs outside.

I have given up trying to keep them in one place unless we are going to have company. hey, c'mon-- that's a theme!! lol!! Our entire house is themed (and I use that term really loosely) in Southwest decor. We've been here about 5 years now, and had the whole house repainted and had new carpeting put in before we moved in (it was a foreclosure and had been sitting empty). The other overall themes are pet hair, dog and cat toys, and books and crafting crap. And dust-- I would imagine that there's a bit more volcanic ash dust in HI, but I think the AZ desert gets its fair share.
