                      Beautiful!! I left a comment on your site, but WOW that is some fantastical decorating! I just don't have an eye for stuff like that so when I see people who can do that, I think its amazing. My favorite part was the pig on top of the cabinet. :)

                      Thanks girls . . . I find decorating so relaxing . . . being creative on such a personal level . . . and knowing it brings peace and a sense of "sanctuary" to my family, makes it all the more worth while.
  Hugs & Blessings,
  Brenda

                      Brenda your photos have given me the lift I needed to do somethings in my own house and take pictures. I am still trying to figure out the blog spot thing!! Thanks for the inspiration.

                      Dana, grab your book and come on over!  I'll get the teapot going!    For those of you that asked about my pig, she was just a TJ Maxx find many years ago.  She is just plaster, which is why she was getting a bit chipped up.  I did spray a bit of antiquing spray on her to countrify her a bit.  I use design masters brown for antiquing . . . it is for dried flowers, but works great for anything that you want a bit of transparent antiquing.
  Hugs & Blessings,
  Brenda

                      Lilly, I think our differences is what makes decorating fun.  I love seeing other colors, themes, etc. in other peoples homes . . . it would be boring as #@! if all the houses looked like mine!  LOL!  So while I wouldn't decorate in pastels, I can enjoy and appreciate homes that are decorated in this way.  My Mom loves pastels and there is no where more comfortable than going to visit my Mama! 
  Hugs & Blessings,
  Brenda

                      I have a light sage green color in my living room and kitchen but in the living room it's paired with olive green on the stone fireplace. In the kitchen I have used purple but it may be darker than a pastel. I like to mix things up. I think you're right Brenda about it great that everyone is different! I still want a pig just like yours!!
  It's all good!

                      Michelle, everyone wants my pig . . . think I should start an auction.  LOL!  No, I am too attached to her.  But yes, you are right.  Variety is the thing we all need and it would be boring to all be the same.
