Favorite element is the recessed shelf alcove above the toilet. Wondering if that was in place or a project you took on? It is very attractive.

Poor pooch, can't but wonder if it lives in fear it'll be stuffed or have its head up on the wall one day. I saw a lot of dead animals in this abode. Will be glad when Palinese hides are out of style.

Tapestry bolster the width of the bed leans against the headboard, the pilllows in front are horizontal, under down comforter.

Love the taupe, which I would wear as a shawl to stay warm this winter.

tmchd, do a Google search on "peacock colors" and see what comes up -- a good portion of the peacock fulme is the exact same green color used in the state dinner linens :-)

I think the table settings, decor were stunningly beautiful. Of course, everyone has their likes and dislikes in the color spectrum and the choice of color for the linens is not what some would choose, however, the color goes beautifully with the orchid centerpieces, which were symbolic for the guests of honor, and I think it was a very good choice.

There is nothing "different" about the decor - one only need take a peek at publicized social events, perhaps the New York Social Diary.

Apple green has been a favorite color of fashion designers in the last two Spring/Summer seasons.

Those critical of Michelle Obama's taste need to read the unbiased fashion industry reviews of her state dinner dress, which were nothing but positive and complimentary, not to mention that Michelle Obama Topped Elle's Best-Dressed List!

Some are always ready to pounce on the Obama's and will never accept them. They need to know that when one hates, they hurt themelves, for it affects health, both physically and mentally.

Love Kim's unique style. Her home looks like it is overflowing with good energy, nothing phoney about it.

I have an adorable Cockapoo; only 13 lbs. who doesn't shed. She loves people, especially children. I've had a few dogs and this one has the best temperment. The experience has been so great, I have to go with the poodle mix.

That woman has ice running through her veins! No conscious whatsoever, no friend to God's beautiful creatures. God, I hope she does not come to power! She's a mean woman.

Joss, I live in a military town, the world's largest, been in a retired admiral's home, lived next door to the Commanding Officer of a nuclear submarine, best friend's father is 3rd generation Annapolis and NONE have a hall dedicated to themselves. They all have very few items, comparitively speaking, and they are exhibited over their personal desks, not in public areas. McCain's hall smacks of narcissism, that, or it is associated with his "Napoleon Complex." Those who know who they are do not need to be reminded by trophies.

Sorry, McCain's laxidasical attitude towards academics is very revealing. Foremost, such attitude is among the 14 characteristics that define Fascism:

Disdain for Intellectuals and the Arts --
Fascist nations tend to promote and tolerate open hostility to higher education, and academia. It is not uncommon for professors and other academics to be censored or even arrested. Free expression in the arts is openly attacked, and governments often refuse to fund the arts.

"It's the economy, stupid," a phrase developed as we experience a bad economy, the #1 issue for voters. McCain's response has has been he's "not good on the economy." Guess he failed accounting and math, for he doesn't know how many houses he owns nor the type of car he drives and, worse, he's said he's "not interested in the housing issue" which we all face. Adding insult to injury, his senior adviser, Graham, said those who complain were "whiners."

McCain exhibits the same cavalier attitude of live-in-a-bubble Bush that has brought much suffering to our country and, if elected, I believe he will be far worse than Bush.

The first photo, a hallway showcasing his accomplishments, the "I Love Me" wall, is very telling of the man, probably necessary to feed his ego, having flunked out of college.
