Red didn't I read somewhere it took you 20 to decide on those curtins ?? Good for you, change is good i do it all the time. About twice a year I will pull everything out of a room, wash or paint the walls then put everything back differnt. Much cheaper then buying new furniture.

Living dangerously Red? :lol:
That's me, Bay! :lol: Always living right on the edge. :lol: Ya, right! :lol:

Even this probably wouldn't be possible if it weren't for winter. DH is so tired of being confined inside, that doing anything -- like redoing the wall colors -- is better than doing nothing.

No, these curtains were the first ones I saw that I liked. It took me 20 years to decide I wasn't going to find something I liked better. (No curtains isn't a problem in the sticks.)

I am also one who doesn't feel the room is really clean unless I move everything around for a different look. I've never been averse to change. I just think change should be for a good reason. My good reason is that I can involve DH in creating something new and different in our space.

I rearrange furniture about once every TEN or TWELVE years! If it works why change it. :hide My ex-DIL moved her furniture almost weekly! So when I did rearrange she got EXCITED> LOL Paint wall? Yeah right, remember I am married to a painter. Last thing he wants to do in his off time is to paint. :( And heaven only knows I do it WRONG. :confused: (Besides ladders and I do NOT get along.)

Carol my parents where like that, almost like furniture grew roots. Think their livingroom the same past 30 years. Even wallpapper the same, I guess thats why I like change.

Now, upon the great advice of the gardeners on TEG, I am looking for lighting. I don't want silver or black. I do want downward lighting (hate bugs in the fixtures). Anyone have a good idea for lighting fixtures? I still intend to check the second hand shops, but I am also looking online here -- thirty-five pages of possibilities.

As always, cheaper is better than expensive. I have quality taste with pauper pocketbook.

This is the fixture I have been trending to. A reduced closeout that was over $300 and is now about $80. What say you?
