Nancy, what you have been doing is beautiful! I love the simpler look. I have been paring down some of my things to get a simpler look also. It's hard to let some of the stuff go!! You collect many beautfiul things yet your house is so neat and well put together. You really have a lovely home. I loved the pictures of your kitchen and newly redone living room. The walls of the living room are very warm and inviting. I'll bet you are having a wonderful time doing all this! Congratulations because it is truly lovely!!
