A Little Dark

 
 
 
 




 
 
 
When it comes to decorating I'm all about

 
 
color and light.  Mostly light.
 
 


 

 
There are times however,





 
 

when darker hues



 
 





 



bid you come inside







drink in the details around you,







savor the jewel tones,







the lustre of silver and gold,






and know for certain you could


enjoy this luxury for a coon's age.*






Au Revoir,

Mary

  1. Mary,
    With all the white and chipped furniture out there, I still prefer the traditional dark wood. I love light and color too, but there is something about walking into a room filled with darker tones that make it so warm and cozy. I love lighter rooms for art projects and creating. The fifth room you have here is sooo pretty. I can live with that.
