It'll be a little more hip/modern than we've decorated in the past, but with all this 1916 woodwork and windows around me I'm feeling like we need something to break out of the "antiquey" feel.<BR/><BR/>So obviously, I love that color combination. :) <BR/><BR/>Aaron always expresses color opinions, but I've learned to take them with a grain of salt and a mental shrug, because 1) he usually likes what I end up doing, and 2) his opinion is just not that strong-- he cares about 15% if I care 100%. So generally, I do what I like, and he ends up liking it even if he sniffed at first.<BR/><BR/>Good luck! Your backyard looks like a great play-place. Ashlyn is getting so toddlery-looking!Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07475837511132447438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24644871.post-67987744811577785152007-04-22T01:15:00.000-05:002007-04-22T01:15:00.000-05:00I did want input, but then made a quick decision t...I did want input, but then made a quick decision to buy it. Hmmm. I might wish that I had waited. I'm hearing suggestions for the other blues, but I really don't like them very well. We'll see how it turns out.Angiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11142817054375318711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24644871.post-12112368022837966792007-04-21T18:20:00.000-05:002007-04-21T18:20:00.000-05:00OK...I can tell that you didn't really want input ...OK...I can tell that you didn't really want input since you didn't give people enought time between posts. Angie - every room you've ever painted has looked wonderful so I'm sure this house will look great too. Will you have to paint it white when you leave like government housing?<BR/><BR/>I don't like leather because it sticks to skins and always makes me think about the dead animal that is sitting under me. That's not to say I never buy leather (because I do...purses and shoes) but it does gross me out.<BR/><BR/>By the way...we'll take any of those babies!<BR/><BR/>Love to everybody!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24644871.post-60857495891465392032007-04-21T12:42:00.000-05:002007-04-21T12:42:00.000-05:00Let me clarify something here; I was not insisting...Let me clarify something here; I was not insisting or attempting, in any way, to persuade Angela to get Leather!!! She suggested the leather chair in the very beginning, and then SHE brought up the idea of just getting leather couches. <BR/><BR/>I just thought you should know!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24644871.post-43327843459897724502007-04-21T09:47:00.000-05:002007-04-21T09:47:00.000-05:00And, is the screaming baby that bad?

Did you read the $10,000? That was one sofa, not a set. We've definitely never bought anything close to that price.<BR/><BR/>I do hope that I end up loving the leather, since it wasn't cheap, either. We won't be buying new anytime soon.Angiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11142817054375318711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24644871.post-10787297524226236622007-04-20T23:16:00.000-05:002007-04-20T23:16:00.000-05:00I would just go by the names: Soft Jazz, Weekend G...I would just go by the names: Soft Jazz, Weekend Getaway and Sea Foam. Sounds like a great holiday to me. <BR/><BR/>Although, you are an artist, so I imagine you walking around the house with 10 different color wheels. ;)<BR/><BR/>We just had a new Natuzzi store open here.

I am not totally sure about the blue hydrangea with red and brown, though, unless you have some other kind of fabric somewhere that ties it together (curtains maybe?) The blue seems a cool color and the others more warm. I like the Hawthorn or Prescott green, myself! :) <BR/><BR/>I'm sure you 'll love your furniture. I have heard that leather is much more indestructible and withstands kids and pets really well!Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07818728328063570386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24644871.post-44154888728689464582007-04-20T15:35:00.000-05:002007-04-20T15:35:00.000-05:00Can't help you with color choices because I'm hand...Can't help you with color choices because I'm handicapped in that area. <BR/><BR/>I second-guess nearly every decision I make. So I know how you feel. However, you have great taste and you are very creative. I'm sure your place will look wonderful and look forward to see pictures!<BR/><BR/>I've heard furniture in Germany is high quality and not too expensive.
