And maybe your husband can make another hutch in your home? :-)<BR/><BR/>Shirley - My bedroom is not sorted out yet, but I can shut the door and not look at it at least. *grin*<BR/><BR/>Joanne - Gold would look quite nice, I think. I'll have to do some rummaging at thrift stores and online for something!<BR/><BR/>Devon - I'm quite pleased with it. :-)<BR/><BR/>Angie - Actually, I have a tapestry on the opposite wall (I didn't post a pic of it) and thought about putting it on the red wall, but I didn't think it was big enough (the tapestry, not the wall). I like the idea of a grouping of things instead of just one big picture, though. So we shall see...<BR/><BR/>Rene - I like your style. ;-)<BR/><BR/>Tess - Yes, we do have a recycling place, but fortunately, I have a friend who is moving this weekend who needs boxes, so I'll recycle that way! :-)<BR/><BR/>Janna - Thanks for the compliments! I'm rather pleased with the new blog layout AND the new home. :-)<BR/><BR/>Debs - I am very proud to have that china hutch in my home. My father is so very talented!Melissa Amateishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16086267508858187716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12150605.post-53683088453307191502008-11-13T11:07:00.000-07:002008-11-13T11:07:00.000-07:00What a lovely home you have.

How about a rich, soft tapestry on the wall for added warmth and a companion piece of fabric for a loose drape across the top of the living room vertical blinds? I've found fabulous + cheap things on ebay for decorating before. And cannot beat a good garage sale.Angie Ledbetterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16407006980893727627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12150605.post-1162009103853967962008-11-13T07:48:00.000-07:002008-11-13T07:48:00.000-07:00Your new place looks fabulous -- so comfortable an...Your new place looks fabulous -- so comfortable and homey!

Maybe something with golds, against the red, would look nice.

I try to get on the treadmill every other day if I can but it helps the mood and energy level for sure.<BR/> My husband built us a hutch in our home in PA but we built it in and had to leave it behind when we moved. We were just talking about it last night. Good you got to take yours.Terri Tiffanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07771622379178654235noreply@blogger.com
