We have new door frame molding and closet door frame molding, crown molding, and baseboard to paint or stain. The walls are a light pink. I originally wanted to stain it all, but now I am thinking of painting the baseboard an ivory to match the ceiling and staining the crown molding and both door frames to slightly match the floor.

The configuration of the french doors and windows makes me a bit indecisive on the treatment. My gut tells me to go forward with a sheer type fabric with a light backing, therefore the panels will gather at each end of the windows nicely. So what say you?? <br /><br />Thank you for this venue of decorating questions/dilemmas...it is fantastic!Shirley@Housepitality Designshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09945881622303698087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-780745603109193534.post-3142380862319318852012-01-18T09:41:36.517-05:002012-01-18T09:41:36.517-05:00Oh Please Do remove me from your blog post #3 silv...Oh Please Do remove me from your blog post #3 silver chestCurtains in My Treehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04739180504953135365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-780745603109193534.post-36552042782906526562012-01-18T07:19:33.134-05:002012-01-18T07:19:33.134-05:00Happy Wednesday Betsy,

Come for coffee someday, we would get along swell ;-><br /><br /> Looking forward to the answers to these decorating dilemas. Also, I had the exact same problem with my micro. I wanted to go as small as possible and bought one like yours. I have to hold the whole thing to get enough force to open the door and aslo have to hold it to close the door...sheesh! I currently have it unplugged and stashed away...I HATE how they look on a counter and the amount of counter space they steal away. I have been getting along without it just fine.<br /> I pretend they were not invented yet...the mind is funny thing.<br /><br /> Enjoy the day<br /><br />janet xox<br />http://theemptynest-janet.blogspot.com/Janet Metzger, Artisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06004040279820041203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-780745603109193534.post-26660086594496609232012-01-18T06:31:39.155-05:002012-01-18T06:31:39.155-05:00Me again!

I'm "getgrounded" from previous posts, and I posted link no. 5 - my perfect living room quest. <br />When you read my post, you'll see my goals of making my small builders tract home with no architectural interest look similar to a photo I found in a magazine that I fell in love with. When you see the photos, you'll see that I'm definitely not there yet. I have basically NO budget right now, so suggestions could be for DIY stuff, or feel free to lay out eventual stuff that I might someday have money for. Thanks!

Thank you SO much for hosting this fun an...Betsy,<br /> Thank you SO much for hosting this fun and informative Q & A party! My thumbnail pic to my post is #4 "Painting Woodwork". I have hated our dining room since we moved into our house 8 years ago, but have been busy with things like plumbing, wiring, etc. I want to paint the windows and trim a creamy white (and change the wall color to something lighter and more cheerful) but here is where I'm stuck. Can I leave the dark trim in the living room? The foyer separates the living room from the dining room, but I'm afraid it will be unbalanced. What do you think?<br /><br />Your Color & Pattern book is one of my favorite design books in my collection and I would truly value your opinion. I could keep you busy for years!<br /><br /><br />To paint or not to paint...that is the question. :@<br /><br />Thanks for your time, VickieVickie @ Ranger 911https://www.blogger.com/profile/12847126296813987337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-780745603109193534.post-3738335068786931332012-01-17T19:49:34.734-05:002012-01-17T19:49:34.734-05:00I posted this for Christine from The Tin Can Cotta...I posted this for Christine from The Tin Can Cottage.

I wanted to send you this post, because, it best shows my futile attempts at French Country Style. I do Love the All White Shabby Chic thing that's going on with a lot of Bloggers out there, but, I just can't seem to Ditch the "Cutness" in my Style Forte? What to Do? What is the Best Way to Get to the Place you Want to Go adding in your Own Style in the Mix? My "TinCanCottage" is pretty much me, but How do I incorporated that Style in my own Home? <br /><br />Fun, but with Style????? <br /><br />Burn Everything and Start Over????? Paint everything White? What to Add? What To Take Away?<br /><br /><br />I was really wanting to add more interest to my blog, by adding more pics of my 'real' Home, not just my "10ft" Cottage on Wheels, But Maybe, I'm Scaring People Away :D<br /><br /><br />Thanx for your "Free" Decorators Advise!<br /><br /><br />p.s.
