She is about six inches taller then I am, I got left out in the height line, because they are all taller then me. I think our personalities are different though.<br /><br />As far as color in my house I am a little of both. I like a little color to my rooms. I just painted the kitchen that is a cream color with a tint of yellow to it. It was called Autume Breeze. The computer room in our house is painted two walls a dark color and two walls a light color, its different. I used to put wallpaper borders up to add color, but I want do that no more they are to hard to get back off.Virginiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06924888528166831610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3815530646091177574.post-41931243896782036482009-06-14T22:26:06.320-04:002009-06-14T22:26:06.320-04:00Suz's house IS gorgeous Tawny, having had the ...Suz's house IS gorgeous Tawny, having had the privilage to sit in her beautiful office with Rocky the Wonder Dog on my feet....<br /><br />Not AT my feet, ON my feet, LOLJoanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12566704374877697300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3815530646091177574.post-38909203971329877062009-06-14T22:23:26.610-04:002009-06-14T22:23:26.610-04:00You are not strange, Cassondra, you're uniquel...You are not strange, Cassondra, you're uniquely wonderful :-) <br /><br />Your house sounds glorious.

When my brothers protested my moving out I told them "Either way you are going to have to come to Wetumpka to visit me. Either on my place in Wetumpka or at the women's prison there because if I live with that old woman one more week I am going to kill her!" Needless to say they helped me move!

I've been agonizing over colors fo...Hi Tawny! <br /><br />I've been agonizing over colors for a month now but I'm hung up on the kind of headboards and the color of the window treatments I want for our master bedroom and guest room. I think I'll end up making my own upholstered headboards (never done it before but I'm going to try!) in a neutral linen color so they sort of go with everything. I can't see spending $$$ on a headboard in the first place. The guest room will be a very pale, creamy custard color and our bedroom will be a soft sage green/gray. My office will be a pale blue (calming, right?), which almost looks white in bright light and the "curry" colored hallways will be painted a soft beige with a bright white semi-gloss on the ceiling moldings and baseboards. I've got a bunch of Pottery Barn paint chip books and books on color palettes and it's still so hard to decide on colors. Kirsten, I'm a big fan of Martha's egg colors too! Our bathrooms are vintage and have those crazy vintage tile colors..rose blush, orchid and a strange green, almost like "Clinique" green but not quite. The pink bathroom (pink sink, toilet and tub!) will be painted white but with a pinky tint and the green monster bathroom will be a custard yellow. Our bathroom downstairs has one of those fancy paint treatments (rust, burnt orange...truly awful) and it looks like a bathroom you'd find in a bordello...Our house is over 75 years old with plaster walls. I'm hiring a painting contractor because if I tried to do it myself, it would take forever.<br /><br />I have things in common with my sister and my best friend and husband but I'm not really like any of them...too weird, I guess!<br /><br />Good luck with painting and selling your house!<br />JenPinkPeonyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08474965710589933443noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3815530646091177574.post-67031108305442733982009-06-14T18:38:09.805-04:002009-06-14T18:38:09.805-04:00Jeanne said: As to the, "we all turn into o...Jeanne said: <i> As to the, "we all turn into our mothers in some ways" thing...yeah, we do. </i>...<br /><br />Oh yeah, totally!!!Tawnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14076851566613018105noreply@blogger.com
