We have one of these in our hallway right above the shelf (landing dock for keys/mail/etc.) and coat rack. I had a great long rectangular frame that used to house wedding photos. I put a pretty sheet of wrapping paper in it an filled a vase with dry erase markers. We wipe it clean when guests come over (normally) but otherwise use it as a grocery list, message board and general note-space. We've gotten so many compliments on it - just as a piece of framed wrapping paper! Ha!

Whenever you're making buttons, Luna, I'll wear my HF(!)JBR badge every day. I feel like common sense has upped and left us. It would be great if we could all just do good things, with good intentions and talk to our kids.

Nor am we.

I love our southern facing kitchen in a pale butter yellow with red, white and pink accents. I also love that our beige living room allows our colorful artwork, green velvet curtains, multi-colored rug and colorful pillows to shine. The tan bedroom is indeed getting a re-do to contrast our blue/green bedding, but after reading this post I might just have to paint it sky blue out of spite.

Because, seriously?

How many posts have I read here at AT, over and over again, about how a well done home is one that speaks well of its inhabitants, reflecting the lives that are lived there, and nurtures their own souls? What is more subjective than the idea of a well designed home? I can't seriously buy the "we don't like these colors for our home so they should be banned in yours" statement without thinking that this article is a mere "what's hot and what's not" piece written to attract attention and is is better suited for bridal magazines. "Blush and bashful bridesmaid dresses? SO Steel Magnolias AND 1980s!"
