And I LOVE red lamp shades. My kitchen is taupe walls with black and taupe squared drape panels with subtle big leaves through it...and bamboo window shades. I am trying to throw splashes of red in such as french cafe au lait bowls stacked, and etc. But I love the sound of doing the dining room. Truly classy and classic-and you could live with that forever. My bathroom has black walls...with goldleafed chandalier. Kinda funky. My ceialing is still white though my trim in bath is cream. Think I should paint the ceiling? it's not a huge bath. But bigger than powder room. Kimberly, I think it was, love the apple green and red too. I like turquoise & red too. Or lavendar and red. Sounds weird...but I like the contrast. OK, I love red!! Dawn, if i can find my paint formula for the chinese red, I'll let ya know what it is. I know I filed it a way---somewhere! jenny Cameo, I love the sound of your dining room….the black with taupe ceiling, & oatmeal trimmings….gorgeous!! And I LOVE red lamp shades.

I'm going to try to get most of them for myself. I love when someone gives me an idea for a new book, because of all of the material non-living things out there, I love books more than anything, and decorating books are right up there at the top. There should be somewhere where we could recommend great books like these to one another. I could recommend plenty myself, as I could sit on my loveseat in my bedroom for hours and hours and just eat up the gorgeous pictures in home decorating books. How could we go about doing this??? Any ideas, anybody??? What wonderful books! I’m going to try to get most of them for myself.

LOL! It loooks as though we are in store for lots of lovely purple, blue, and green in the new line. If anybody is looking for that perfect red nail polish, try OPI "I'm not really a waitress" red. It is absolutely the most perfect color of red nail polish on the planet! It has a subtle sparkle that is very pretty.

We live in Beaver Dam, WI about 30 miles from Ripon. I have been in both of Robyn's stores, have met her mom, Robyn, and John at their farm auction a few years ago. Tracy is a beautiful, fun person, and cute as a bug in her jeans and stocking hat. My brother Bart used to own Dos Gringos in Ripon, a wonderful little city. Worth the visit to see the stores in Princeton and Ripon. Robyn is beautiful and fun also. You go girls I feel so lucky. We live in Beaver Dam, WI about 30 miles from Ripon.

Love it so much I've used it in 2 homes. Believe it or not, it's Sherwin Williams "Henna Shade." Just used it in our tiny powder in foyer. Rich, cozy, yummy!

Congratulations! As for other topics, how about jewelry storage? I have acquired a few of your fabulous pieces and now need a vessel worthy of them! How do you store/display yours?? For the first time in my life I'm wearing one of your cocktail rings as I type, and as Tracy mentioned in another blog, it is so FUN to watch my hand typing away in such style! By the way, it works splendidly tied onto a scarf, so thanks for the encouragement on that last week, Tracy! Have a great night everyone...

A wall in my kitchen is red, but more of a "Tuscan" red... if you will... and after all this "red" talk today, I am thinking it might need to be "spiced" up a bit! ....My word Tracy, I have sooo many projects swirling around in my little ol head, I don't know how I am EVER going to get them all done!!!
