What else can I say about Ms Canyonwind that hasn't be already said. She hosted the OBF Cookbook Swap last month and did a FABULOUS job as hostess. Her games are fun and her/I were partners. The items were in neat manner. She is a wonderful person inside and out. Thank you Canyonwind for always being responsive to the emails/messaging/sending surprises.

Thanks, that helps. I love that you are the impetus for Aqua. My painter friend loved it, BTW. I got the idea that it was a version of Gustavian Grey from Ellen's own description on her website... (shoutout ahead) "Aqua (for walls and ceiling) is a darker version of Gustavian Grey, yet lighter than Oasis, which crosses that fine line between blue and green. Therefore, it is both healing and soothing, yet rejuvenatingÂa popular new color for 2007 according to color consultant Lori Sawaya!" She says the same thing about Oasis. Someone else here, and I'm sorry I can't remember who now, says that Oasis reads very neutral in her bathroom (and it's her only EK room she feels "meh" about.) That statement surprised me because the chip looked very green to me -- but when I painted my board I can see exactly what she means. I would bet she has a north-lit bathroom! But then again if you put it or Aqua next to blue (say, the Azure) it reads much more green. Aqua looks amazing up next to my print of Georgia O'Keffe "Poppy" because of the aqua she uses in the background. I may have to do the mud room aqua and hang that print there. Interestingly the GG looks fantastic in the bathroom, especially with the Cameo, and doesn't dull down in the room like the Oasis and Aqua do. So my short list for bath and bedroom at this point are: -Cameo & GG -some type of Eggplant/Aubergine (plus something else?) -Browns... Cognac and Bronze? I love Mushroom and Sand too. Or go even deeper - Citron Lick the Bowl? Maybe cool blue bedding and Azure ceiling, maybe this is how I can do my blue and brown. I don't see browns in "Rose" and wonder how they come into play.

I just remembered after reading these posts about a picture DH took. He and Ricky were looking for bugs to take pictures of and Ricky starting yelling "I found a double bug papa" ...this is what he found...to this day he thinks it's a rare double bug thanks to papa! I just hope he never talks about his "rare" find at school and the teacher want to see this picture! These moths were huge!

The hutch is red-brown. The chairs are brown with red highlights. Both are original, just cleaned and polished. The table I haven't worked on yet, its just dark.It needs more attention than a simple cleaning. Judging from the color of the undersides of the leaves, it should come up as red-brown. I think the hutch and the server would be close in tone. The "server" photo is the sellers and its a little more Flamin' Mahogany than it seemed when I was standing in front of it. Dunno - its pretty dirty. Maybe it will end up looking like that. I know what you mean when you say trellis pattern - even tho I don't know who makes something like that. It's a really interesting idea and I'm going to see if I can find some.
