1. What's Your Name and URL  Chris  www.j-a-girl.blogspot.com

2. When did you start blogging? What drove you in the direction home design?:  I started blogging nearly two years ago.  I honestly have no idea how I got here.  I never felt like I was aware of it while I was growing up, but as soon as I moved out on my own, it was all I could think about. 

3. What has been your favorite post?: This was a tough one.  Oddly enough, my favorite posts are my organizational ones.  They make me feel giddy inside.  Perhaps one of my favorites? www.http://j-a-girl.blogspot.com/2009/08/organization-station.html

4. Where do you go to for inspiration?:  I rarely buy anything from here, but Pottery Barn is my inspiration.  They use so many pieces that can be replicated for less.  It's just a no-brainer.  I also visit Candice Olson's site on a regular basis.  I spend an unhealthy amount of time dissecting all the rooms she's decorated. 5. Every home dweller should start thrifting.  I'm fairly new to it, and it has changed the way I shop for my home.  I cringe at all the money I wasted before I started thrift shopping!

6. If you had unlimited funds you would buy: Custom trimwork.  Every room would have something done.  I regret not having done it sooner.

7.Where would you buy a second home and why?:  Florence, Italy.  I visited several years ago, and I fell in love with every inch of it.  Who needs to worry about trimwork and window treatments when you're surrounded by beauty?

 

8. What's your favorite piece of furniture in your home?: My grandparents' hutch.  After taking several other pieces, my mom actually had to convince me to take it.  It's got beautiful curves, and it's full of family memories.

9. Your homes style is: A mystery to me.

 

10. Three words to describe your personal taste: Neutral, comfortable, eclectic
