Love it! Looks a whole lot like what I am doing in our nursery - right down to the blue on the walls and pops of red. Where did you find the maps? I plan to paper the inside of a bookcase with them but am having trouble finding them. Thanks and great job!

What great ideas! I love the idea of taking a walk after dinner, helps remove that "guilty" feeling when you dig into a decadent dessert after a (most likely) decadent meal.

"Do what you want with your interior, but when you have to subject passersby to such a bold statement, it seems a bit discourteous. Soon you'll have a street of rainbow houses." You should be so lucky! Many Southern cities like Charleston & Miami are famous for their rainbow colored buildings. Have you ever seen Charleston's Rainbow Row? FANTASTIC!

Gee, I guess my husband and I aren't the only ones on a veggie kick these days! We've been starting our day with a veggie smoothie - we use Kimberly Snyders recipe but there are tons out there. We make a big pitchter of it on Sunday then re-blend 1 cup smoothie and 1 cup water each morning. It took a while to get used to it, and I still don't think it tastes "awesome," but as someone above said, knowing I've choked it down helps me eat better the rest of the day and I LOVE that its 2 servings of veggies.

I've counted points on Weight Watchers for as long as I can remember but I've honestly gotten tired of the tracking and obsessive thinking about it. Lately I am eating real foods, in the quantity that feels right for the moment, and not stressing about the numbers behind it. It's pretty hard to overeat veggie smoothie (trust me on that one!!) and oatmeal - they are naturally filling.

Good luck to all of us!!

oh Cinque Terre - the most beautiful place on earth. These pictures bring back wonderful memories - thanks Mark, for making my rainy afternoon.

Well it's not too terrible, but I did move on the weekend of the President's Day blizzard (DC) in 2003. That meant we were stuck in our brand new apt with only 2 chairs and no cable for 4 days - the sofa delivery folks and Comcast couldn't/wouldn't deliver in the snow. One chair was a papasan and one was an old wingback so we'd frequently rotate chairs depending on if we were eating or trying to be comfy. We watched the only DVD we owned (Zoolander) over and over ...

What funny timing - I JUST took barkeeper's friend to one of ours last night. It didn't really help (those were some intense stains!) but after reading everyone's comments I can forgive myself, move on, and never do that again :-)

So cool! Where did you get that awesome pillow on the couch?

Just selected gold flatware for my wedding reception - paired with a platinum/gray tablecloth, cream dishes, and red/pink/orange flowers the flatware looks warm and glowy, not tacky 80s. I hope ... :-)
