How many bedrooms?
two
Gas stove or electric?

I don't drink coffee
What room is your computer in?
currently the living room
Are there pictures hanging in your living room?

Except for the sunset room (our bedroom), no. And it isn't really themed... just cohesive.
What kind of laundry detergent do you use?
All free
Do you use dryer sheets?
when I remember
Do you have any curtains in your home?

Clean clean or just tidy? Oh, who am I kidding? No.

the "office" (which is possibly going to be converted into a workshop/studio... though it's bloody cold down there, still.)

nope, though I consider getting one every now and again.
How many mirrors are in your house?
five... up. (2 each bathroom, one in our bedroom) However, I have many, many more mirrors within my art supplies.
Look up. What do you see?
a badly painted, bumpy ceiling with four small holes that need to be patched.
Do you have a garage?
I wish...
And because I feel like it, here's the seven habits/quirks meme, only one of them has a photo to show just how 'interesting' a trait it is...
List seven habits/quirks/facts about yourself (that aren't common knowledge)
1. I oil my face. With safflower oil. =) I have really, absurdly dry and sensitive skin. I can't use soap and I certainly can't use commercial moisturizers because they all result in a nasty red rash that makes me look like an battered wife. So... recently I read somewhere about safflower and olive oils being good for the skin, so... I scrub my face with a wet washcloth and oil it before the water's evaporated completely. So far (a couple months in), my skin looks better than it has since high school. And I only get the occasional zit if I skip a scrubbing, which tea tree oil will usually clear up in a trice.
2. I like collecting rocks. I have and will pay money for interesting rocks. I will also happily snaffle little interesting or pretty pebbles from the beach/path/field/wherever. Because of this, I often walk around looking down.
3. As much as I love it, I rarely listen to music. And when I do listen to music, I have to listen to it at a lowish volume. Anything loud makes me anxious. (unless painting, wherein all bets are off.)
4. (This one is pretty common knowledge, but...) I often can't access my vocabulary when speaking. And not just the high-falutin' words, either. I communicate far better by keyboard than by mouth. It's one reason I'm phone-phobic.
5. I took a week long (or was it two weeks?) vow of silence after high school in an attempt to figure out my verbal communication problems. I found I couldn't hold to it because I needed to say "thank you." A nod just didn't suffice.
6. Some people habitually crack their knuckles; I crack my neck. It sounds infinitely worse.
