Wow, lots of opinions. I got the picture onto Photoshop and tried out lots of colors, with NOT "ordinary" and "traditional" in mind. Colors I had thought would work looked awful, and the color I wo...
I have my mom's set from the 40's. Probably a wedding gift. The red one was the perfect size for whipping up homemade cake frosting, which we kids always got to lick before it was washed. Of course...
My first thought was chocolate brown and raspberry red. But whoa, Seraph, who would have thunk it, that yellow is absolutely great with the pink. I'm astounded. It really cuts the pink.
Fresh flowers can make my day, week, month! Up here in Maine in the winter though, they become a very pricey indulgence, even at the grocery. So I've devised a number of ways to indulge without br...
Well for heaven's sake, it's a B&W bath. Stay with white frames, pick your favorite bright color and buy towels and rugs in that. Bright red or granny apple green jump to mind. For sophisticated el...

Feed the cat or clean out the litter box, whichever one is louder/smellier. THEN, and only then, empty suitcase, dirty clothes directly into washer. Ahhhhh, then comes glass of wine and hit the sof...
Omigosh, this is what I've been looking for. My nearest IKEA is 265 mi. away though. The shipping would kill me, but might be worth it as gas and hassle would be too close to quibble over. BUT . . ...
If you have Photoshop, or a friend does, send them the photo and have them select the chairs or whatever your considering redoing. Alter the color on the chair leather for instance. It's rough, but...
