My mom's kitchen is orange, with a lavendar ceiling. Everyone in her conservative, Midwestern town thought she was crazy for doing it. But after she painted it, EVERYONE was talking about how great...

However, I ...
Wow. What a beautiful outdoor space. I'm totally jealous.
Although, I'm with bcthree. I would be really worried about how the rug will stand up to the elements. It seems like it would ...

This post just made my day! I've been hoping for an AT Seattle/Portland for months now. How exciting!
