I was looking for the answer to a decora...Hi Betsy!<br />I was looking for the answer to a decorating question I had- so searched through your blog for help. Of course, spent a good hour reading your blog just for fun...Anyway, I just love the once-a -month decorating dilemmas that you solved for your readers. It's probably too much work for you to sift through projects that had some appeal( and, where you weren't expected to turn a sow's ear into a silk purse) and had a good solution, but it was just such a gift to your readers- I learned soo much from you..<br />Never did find the answer to my question- so if you need inspiration for another topic- what is the rule for matching metals in a bathroom or kitchen.i.e. if you have good brass lights over the vanity and brass curtain rods, etc., do you have to have brass fixtures, or would chrome faucets with white porcelain handles work fine..<br />Hope your new fabric line isn't causing you sleepless nights.Can't wait to see the direction that you will be taking with them! <br /> Doloreshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14976716820706916780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-780745603109193534.post-67272916368977043402014-11-12T05:00:17.233-05:002014-11-12T05:00:17.233-05:00What a great home renovations in Los Angeles.

I have a settee that I am wrestling over, now.

You're probably the only designer whose name and interiors I remembered over the years, even details like the Speert family dog house! Thanks for all the great information and advice.

I love all your advice and it sure helps to see a room through another persons eyes, especially a professional as yourself. I cannot wait to put your advice into action. As for those fake flowers in those urns, I don't like them either. I am an avid gardener as well, and the only reason they were in the urns, was that they were blue and seemed tall and skinny. I will certainly replace the urns. Those were inherited from family, and I will use them somewhere else, perhaps in the dining room. I made those plaid draperies myself, so they are certainly not perfect. I will be climbing on a ladder to restyle them. <br />Once again thank you. Happy Anniversary with your blog, and I cannot wait to see all your posts. Always look forward to them.<br /><br />SandraAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-780745603109193534.post-17887477520246026502012-08-15T06:41:43.263-04:002012-08-15T06:41:43.263-04:00Betsy, thank you so much for your advice.

I love the ticking wallpaper very much and am going to send for a sample. Also my husband is going to design the head board for me. For the last serval months our carpenter (who is our daughters boyfriend) has been designing and installing custom crown throughout out our home and ripping out all the old small standard door molding and replacing it with 3 1/5 wood molding. He had planned on crowning our bedroom for us, so thats a done deal. It might take a few months for us to complete the bedroom but when its done I will post photo's for you. You are such a sweetheart and I can't thank you enough. <br />Have a sweet day, Elizabeth<br />P.S I am looking forward to seeing your dinning room tableElizabeth and Gary https://www.blogger.com/profile/15849231608931954395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-780745603109193534.post-25844749353086188602012-08-14T22:41:52.818-04:002012-08-14T22:41:52.818-04:00Betsy, thanks so much for answering my question ab...Betsy, thanks so much for answering my question about my high door low windows. I hadn't thought of putting a valance across the top of the window, so am pondering that. I'm going to buy some wooden thicker poles and hope to get some type of floral curtains.
