Your colors are gorgeous and with those ceilings painted white-AWESOME.<BR/><BR/>The birds are so pretty-great eye candy on a gloomy day.

Yes, definitely lower the picture in the dining room. And in that bathroom, have them paint the birds on the ceiling AND get a chandelier.Lisa at Greenbowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07743973292900758183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35675426.post-11814484768783916012009-03-10T06:50:00.000-04:002009-03-10T06:50:00.000-04:00I love, love, love the colors Mary!!

It's enough to make you sick.<BR/><BR/>You're fortunate to live in such a beautiful home Mary, and it appears the men did a very nice job painting. The colors you chose are gorgeous! Even the faux looks good. Glad you are pleased. I love working for a homeowner who can make a solid decision and isn't afraid of using color. The most recent bathroom I painted at the beach was the lightest color on the chart and she still thought it was dark. lol!<BR/><BR/>It really is a pain to have your whole house disrupted and I can certainly relate to a kitchen redo as we've done them in the past. It's especially chaotic and difficult for families with little kids.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for inviting us in! Now where are the cookies and coffee? ; )<BR/><BR/>I want it to be near 80 here too, but instead it's snowing again.
