I'm even itching to do an all white/neutral room. Yikes. That is plain scary. I've been spray painting like crazy since Michigan is unusually warm and sunny. Some crazy weather fur sure. But, it's great for getting the spray paint out. Great job with the changes.Cyndihttp://www.decoratingchica.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7781670590071996754.post-29094107276108473112010-03-28T22:57:53.821-04:002010-03-28T22:57:53.821-04:00I just love all the changes!

So glad I'm not the only one! I too have been obsessed with green, & white (not cream). I've always had darker, warm, cozy colors & lately have been going to the lighter side.

I'm going in. The garage that is. My husband says it's all my "stuff" but funny how the first 10 things I touch are his. Whatever! I've consolidated my Flower Shop into the house & need to work on so much. Spent Spring Break with the strong college guys from church purging from 6 storage units to 3. Can I get an Amen? Now the garage, which is like a monster that eats everything. I won't quit till it's done. Thanks so much for all your great ideas.mayflowers&memorablegiftshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17184965355036211696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7781670590071996754.post-85175304838363424852010-03-27T10:18:26.408-04:002010-03-27T10:18:26.408-04:00Isn't it funny how fabric just jumps out at yo...Isn't it funny how fabric just jumps out at you?

I have a black cabinet that has a shelf that goes above it (hutch style) and I recently removed the top because its just too much black. A year ago I loved all the black in my home, now I'm brightening things up and adding lots of contrast. Your post was great timing!<br /><br />By the way... Heirloom White... what brand do you all use? I see reference to this color a lot and looked for it but have yet to find it. I can't even find off white, just glossy white. Annoying! The cabinet I mentioned has some baskets below it and they could use a touch of HW. :)Sherri Tierneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05065837295421570477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7781670590071996754.post-8304830430890643012010-03-26T05:04:53.876-04:002010-03-26T05:04:53.876-04:00Recently used the same wrought iron easels to prop...Recently used the same wrought iron easels to prop up some frames I had that were otherwise flat and not wanting to sit right on a side table...great minds think alike!
