Yay!<br /><br />And I just saw the first episode of Sarah's House the other day and loved it! But I can't believe the budget she gives herself! $10,000 for one bedroom is crazy! It's fun for inspiration but you can't really take any budget tips from her... but that's what this blog is for!kaydubyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02943507883422143384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7781670590071996754.post-32346372717553580172010-04-12T14:47:06.430-04:002010-04-12T14:47:06.430-04:00I'm right there with you, I adore Sarah Richar...I'm right there with you, I adore Sarah Richardson's style!

I found a hounds tooth pattern in chocolate brown and lime green then found a coordinating toille in the same colors. But I also want to add a light sort of teal blue to the room to mix up the lime green. Yet I can't seem to figure out what fabric to use to get the blue in the room.dawneradghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00759003797307599958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7781670590071996754.post-19617168682021525992010-04-10T13:00:41.164-04:002010-04-10T13:00:41.164-04:00Is Sarah's cottage only on Canada right now be...Is Sarah's cottage only on Canada right now because I'm not finding it in the US.

We have a VERY open, VERY large kitchen/dining/living area in our new house. I chose a separate patterned fabric for each area, but in the same colors! Talk about flow, and your guests don't even notice WHY it flows, but it does! I used fabrics in linen and chocolate. I have linen and chocolate zebra in the living; linen and chocolate houndstooth in the dining; linen and chocolate diamond pattern (think French!) in the kitchen. Very easy to distinguish the rooms separately with accent fabrics in complimenting colors, when you establish this flow!heather_delynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15449329567032552203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7781670590071996754.post-71857449203054204432010-04-09T21:54:38.703-04:002010-04-09T21:54:38.703-04:00Sarah is fantastic.
