Seems like I use a lot of red in my house so at times I try to calm it down with softer colors, then the red starts creeping back around November through February.

What good are they if you want to make them into a photo shoot for a magazine? What fun is that? B-O-R-I-N-G! Your bookcases are eye candy. I don't understand people who have tons of shelf space and then insist on sticking a few cold and lonely looking vases and pictures on them - and no books ANYWHERE! That's just a waste of good shelf space! Your personal spaces should make you happy, and that doesn't necessarily mean looking like something out of House Beautiful. Who lives like that - really - anyway? I'll bet not most of us!Janhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16575870809633911343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8702816552340511485.post-47830052388750945572012-05-08T14:16:14.399-05:002012-05-08T14:16:14.399-05:00I love it all Laurie!
