I think the candies are beautiful. They will look lovely with the napkins. I love the idea of antique architectural elements, even to just to use them on the guest book table etc. will help set the tone. You can look in craft stores, such as Michaels. If you go to their web site, you can sign up to get coupons for 50%off emailed to you each week. That is what we have been doing. Also, I was going to make the runners, but then I found this site, http://www.tableclothsfactory.com/default.asp The satin runners are only $2.99! You cant make them for that! Funny you mentioned Martha. That is what my friends call me : ), so I am feeling a lot of pressure to get everything just right with this wedding. It is hard because my daughter has her ideas and it is her wedding. I am being the good mom, supporting what is in the budget and what I think will work and waiting her out on things I don't. (I bet she is telling her friends the same thing.) Have you been to the Martha Stuart wedding web site? It has plenty of ideas and photos.

Hi All, Beachlily-Glad to help a fellow GW. Prill-You have incredible taste but you've heard me gush about your kitchen. Love that paint choice. Bee-lol. I love that your DS is in Art school and colored blind. Watch him be the next Picasso! Well not with chasing women but with art. elle3- I am all over the place because I have another bathroom that needs to be updated too. DH realizes how great disappearing wallpaper looks and has encouraged me to tackle that next. I need my fingernails to grow back first. Chris-I checked out the rustoleum. Yes, this a possibility. thank you. Arsy- When I get back from my business trip I will post pics of the space and you will laugh uproariously at the hideous wallpaper. Lukkiirish- I checked out Martha Stewart. Pretty colors. Truly pretty. Now what??? help me I am going to keep the wood as is. Because I have another bathroom with the exact same wood that I am going to stain darker a chocolate color. DH is on board with this. I found an inspiration pic and of course the above pics helped tremendously. Thank you for your photoshop and for your own bath pics. I went to Khols today and found marked down these bath rugs. I have no idea the quality but the fact they are a 100% cotton appealed to me and they were super cheap. I also bought matching towels in the light sea green color. Then after I went to HomeDepot. Light fixtures were butttt ugly. I can not see spending $100 on something I only tolerate. I am going to search on line. What do you think? Which paint looks better with the cabs? (Stupidly I picked the colors up before writing them down... I think it is in this order milk pail ML, rainwater, perfect taupe, winter's day and frozen pond Frozen Pond Behr Winter's Day Martha Stewart Perfect Taupe Behr Rain Water ML Milk Pail ML The cabs look so orange in the pic they are far more yellow. Or should I chuck these all and go back to something more blue and less sea glass. I am thinking for the downstairs bath Black, pale blue and white will be the prevailing them so this bath more beach glass classic cottage look... Any ideas would be awesome. ~boxer
