PARTIAL SUCCESS AT LAST. I WAS ABLE TO LOCATE ONE OF MR MCILHENNY'S LIST OF CAMELLIAS IN 1941 AND A COPY IS BEING SENT TO ME. I ALSO WAS ABLE TO SPEAK WITH THE ARCHIVIST AT JUNGLE GARDENS. WHEN I ASKED FOR INFO THERE BEFORE I NEVER WAS TOLD THERE WAS AN ARCHIVIST ON SITE. HE IS ALSO A HELP TO ME AND HE, IN FACT, IS SEND A COPY TO ME. I FOUND NOTHING ON CAMELLIAS EXCEPT THE YEARBOOK INFO FROM SOUTHWESTERN, BUT I'M STILL ON THE HUNT IN LAFAYETTE. I HAVE THE 1950 AND '53 YEARBOOKS AND THE ARTICLES ARE GREAT IF YOU'RE INTERESTED IN THAT SORT OF STUFF. I AM IN SEARCH FOR OTHER INFO. THE PUBLIC LIBRARY FIRST TOLD ME THERE WAS NOTHING ON MCILHENNY, THEN I FOUND OUT THAT THEY HAVE COPIES OF THE ACS YEARBOOKS THERE SO OFF I GO AGAIN. ACS HAS NO INFO., HOWEVER, I HAVE BEEN ASKED TO ASSIST IN PUTTING ORDER TO THEIR LIBRARY SO I WILL BE FINDING OUT FOR MYSELF SOON. THANK YOU FOR YOUR INTEREST

Oh my, Linda is quite the cook!! Those rolls were so delicious and fun to make!! They will be my go-to recipe now!! Thank you, Linda!!! Trudy

Is this a commercial mix or something someone made? Is tehre something else in there like a filling or icing mix? If it's just a bag of dry stuff I would measure out 2 cups and add 2/3 of a cup of luke warm milk....and stir to make a stiff dough that could be kneaded... Add a little more mix or a teaspoon of so water if you need to. Place into a bowl, cover with saran and let it sit for ab hour... Then roll or pat it out into a square, spread on a goodly amount of soft butter, add some brown sugar and lots of cinnamon....roll up dut into 1 inch slices, place on a greased sheet or a 8 by 11 casserole, let sit another hour or a little less until double and bake at 375...for about 20 minutes. Frost with a little powdered sugar frosting... Linda C

From what I see in my research, it is all a matter of preference and type of style you are going for. Mostly today you see a lot contrast with colored walls paired with bright white trim, doors, and baseboards. This creates a lot of contrast if the wall color is particularly dark. I personally grew up in paneling hell in a sixties ranch house and everything in our house was stained wood.... walls, doors, trim. Yuck... I don't think I have ever seen doors painted the same color as the walls but, not the trim but, I am sure there are some that do it. I always assumed the doors would be the same as the trim except when you do interior black or dark, dark doors. In the house I am remodeling now, I painted the living room walls one color and the trim, doors, buildins and baseboards a slightly darker color but in the same color family for subtle variation when using shades of white. My husband swears he can't tell the difference in the colors and I had to convince him that was on purpose. I love the way it is just a hint different. In the dining room which has really low ceilings and is small, I decided to experiment and paint everything except the ceiling the same light blue color from Farrow & Ball. I love it too. I didn't paint the ceiling the same only because I understood that would make the ceiling seem even lower than it is now. Here's an excerpt from washingtonspaces.com/blog from a talk given by Farrow & Ball (the famous paint company) national sales associate and color consultant, Ann Palithrop. "... there are times when you might think about subtle color gradations on the trim, walls, and ceiling, rather than sharp contrasts. Paint the ceiling in a variation of the wall color, for example. That way, the ceiling will seem to disappear and make the room seem larger. If the ceiling is a stark white, it creates a sharp cutoff from the wall, confining the space. "Its all about layering colors," she said. Sometimes, its best just to use one color everywhere, especially in rooms where there is lots of trimwork all around. One consistent color allows your eye to roam around the space, instead of stopping and starting with each new piece of trim. As a result, other items, such as the kitchen shelving below with its colorful dishes, stand out more.

Flat on the walls and eggshell on the trim and doors. I am liking it but, some people don't. Again it's personal preference. Here are some pics: My dining room You can see it better in this picture with the chair in it: This picture from House Beautiful also has walls, trim and doors same color Black doors are considered by many very classic In this pic they make the room very sleek and modern, with a high gloss finish Q: Should the trim color always be lighter than the walls? A: For contemporary settings, Maxwell Gillingham-Ryan, co-founder and editor of the blog apartmenttherapy.com, suggests painting trim one shade lighter than walls -- even if the walls are white -- to bring out "complexity and detail." In most traditional interiors with colored walls, white trim creates a clean, classic look. That said, darker or stained wood trim may be historically appropriate in period house styles such as Craftsman and Queen Anne. Just keep in mind: "Dark trim creates visual interruption that can make a room look busier and smaller," points out Susan English. This Old House: How to paint a room This is what is most typical now I think in most homes if they don't have stained woodwork.... doors, trim, baseboards in some shade of white Notice how the contrast is very stark but, also very pretty.
