Here at our new house, we have so many more windows, and the house feels more connected to outside, that I want to move toward lighter and more neutral colours. But my tastes were changing even before we moved...the last room I decorated there had stark-white walls, simply to challenge Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02661363218239934603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4528239722280245740.post-41237515866735405502009-07-06T23:00:56.203-05:002009-07-06T23:00:56.203-05:00My tastes are getting lighter too.

Weird because in 1994 when we built our house, all our walls were white!

I don't believe the women who say "oh you just POP the slipcovers in the wash and the KoolAid comes right out!" <br /><br />I've decorated 7 houses in 30 years -- all different -- and some dictate how they WANT to be decorated.

While I adore all white in photos, I know that the reality would be a hot mess in my real life house. <br />The rality is that we live in the country. Lots of dirt. Lots of mud. Lots of dust, hair, blah, blah, blah!<br />I do love looking, though. <br />Good luck with your re-do's. I can't wait to see the efforts.<br Triciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09189315836215119463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4528239722280245740.post-3489146113061879042009-07-06T11:38:53.131-05:002009-07-06T11:38:53.131-05:00My tastes have changed too.
