That is something that almost all of us out here in the real world must contend with. <br /><br />One of my big "take aways" from your blog is that by adding art, plates, mirrors or whatever all the way to the ceiling the eye is drawn upwards. This makes the walls look taller. Your advice to hang valences so that the bottoms just touch the top of the glass is spot on! Not only does that take full advantage of the light, but if the valance goes all the way to the molding or the top of the wall, the wall looks taller.<br /><br />I rarely find fabulous stuff in my local Home Goods. It must be one of Murphy's corolaries, "You find the best stuff the farthest away from home." It is only when I am somewhere far away that I stumble on "just what I was looking for" so at least $100 must be added for shipping. The same seems to be true for my internet finds. <br /><br />However, your examples of goodies you have purchased on line from France and from England have inspired me to be more open-minded.<br /><br /><br />Smiles from My Slice of Provence, Charlotte Des Fleurs<br /><br />Charlotte Des Fleurshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00562431660483372584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-780745603109193534.post-74242287636125377992012-04-06T15:13:47.960-04:002012-04-06T15:13:47.960-04:00Betsy, look forward to each of your post and reall...Betsy, look forward to each of your post and really love your style and great sense of humor.<br />I'm a collector of "cabbage leaf" china and like to see the way you use yours.

And I love how you find stuff at home goods....I saw that same pendant light and recommended it to someone...I am sure they NEVER bought it, but I thought it would be great, and seeing it in your bath, I was right. If I come to visit some day, I will bring a hostess gift wrapped in a box...and it will be some kind of vintage ceramic bird thing. xoAmy Chalmershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10622362955890810774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-780745603109193534.post-21641127463044595272012-04-03T16:57:46.981-04:002012-04-03T16:57:46.981-04:00The vintage looking phone looks splendid on the tr...The vintage looking phone looks splendid on the tray table and I would never hook it up.
