I LOVE all the pictures! Maybee-I showed yours to DS and he said WOW,COOL! It is beautiful! Kath-I would say a soft gray.I think white would be too stark and black would make the furniture disappear. Love the birds,love the wind chimes and love,love,love the peacocks.Kim,I have a pair of flamingos that are about the same scale as your peacocks.They were my mother's and she had them for as long as I can remember,which makes them VERY old!LOL I'll bet they were made in about the same era as yours.I love them.i know they were probably cheap dime store stuff but they are a treasure to me.I really like that mirror behind the peacocks too.

One of the shelves in our living room wall unit. The old "Six Thousand Years of History" books were copyrighted in 1899, and belonged to my paternal grandfather. The small book (standing up) is a Webster's Dictionary from 1928, which belonged to an old family friend. The large Bible belonged to my beloved paternal grandmother. It is one of my most-prized possessions.

I love my kitchen, just wish the rest of the house looked as nice. We've been "remodeling" other rooms in the house for the last two years which means ... we've been thinking a lot about it. LOL Would really, really like to get the ball rolling but there always seems to be something else to do, like work, hiking, travel, processing photos, etc. We've got so many remodel projects on the back burner, it's truly overwhelming for people like us who can't seem to make a decision. Though I think I've recently found a contractor/designer that knows who I am and can help make some decisions much easier for me. Nicole, is that grass cloth you have on your wall? My kitchen actually won't be completed until I figure out what to do with one of the walls. I'm thinking of using grass cloth. Again, indecision is the bane of my existence. Jodi-

This piece of art (scrollsaw) is just visiting. My sister loaned him to me because I covet him. I know someone that may be able to make one like him just for me. I'm finding everyone's pictures very interesting'
