It looks very nice. Why do some people want a picture that shows the bed and other furnishings as they were previously? Do you have no imagination?

Acrimonious Jess - that is the most perfect comment I have ever read. Yes. Yes it is.

Modtomic..."isn't there enough in life to depress us?" Grey isn't depressing. It's a color. Why is it depressing? I find it soothing and calming.

I'm glad the gallery wall doesn't consist of a lot of different frames types and colors. When they do my eye tends to just go to the frames and not the contents which is what, i believe, we are suppose to be looking at.

I don't use them or really like them. They're just one more thing to have on the table that isn't really necessary. I say simple is better. Just a simple napkin folded neatly is more than enough.

We have a refrigerator with a glass door on it. When we first had it installed everyone said, with a little bit of fear in their voices "whew...you're gonna have to keep that clean." Yes...we do. I just made it part of my every day cleaning schedule and it became second nature to wipe down the shelves and tidy things up. Do I sound like Monica on Friends? I just said "tidy-up my fridge".

to Cactina - it is "poring". Poring means to read something carefully with intent to remember. Pouring is when you spill a liquid.

I love grey. I don't find it drab or depressing. Yes, I really do want grey walls. My bedroom is a slightly lighter shade of grey with white woodwork, I find it to be calming and a great backdrop to my art. Which I hang on a wall.

I live in an older home (1901) yet love modern furniture. I quickly realized that if I wanted to add modern furnishings I had to honor the age of my home. To make it work I added antique furniture in with the mid-century finds and new pieces. It works well (I believe) and doesn't look like I just want to live in a more modern house.

I actually own that refrigerator. I love it. Everyone remarks about how great it looks - But I'm always surprised when people see it and remark that it would be hard for them have one because of the "having to keep it clean issue." I just keep my fridge clean. It's fairly simple. I throw out old food or try not to buy too much for my husband and I and don't collect lots of bottles of condiments -that you don't use a lot. It is a commitment - but worth it.

I am on a fusili pasta dish with lemon, pancetta bits, shrimp and oregano. It tastes very fresh to me. I want some now.
