So many rooms to decorate....

Oh my GOD I know you're gonna make it pop with all kinds of fab color schemes. The one with the fireplace....OH OH OH....it's dying for some accents!

Have you picked out color pallates yet? (I love collecting the paper ones and making collages with the strips of color...)

Anyway, congrats! It's a gorgeous home! palace!

Veggie garden sidenote:

the plant known as the Lord's Wood is great for doggies.

The dining room , which will be mid-century-ish, will have an accent wall done in MOSAIC TILE or TEAL FOREST (I keep going back to MOSAIC). A big vintage mirror (60's) that was my mothers will go on the teal wall.

The kitchen will be along the lines of NEW PENNY or FALLING LEAVES and the art on those walls will be Mexican Talavera pottery .

[img:$uid]http://i68.photobucket.com/albums/i9/jgascot/behr-colorsmart-45.gif[/img:$uid]

The den will be in something along the lines of CUP OF COCOA and that fireplace will be white. There will be a lot of white on white and blue accents.

vintage....Yummy! I love 60s furniture! The tile sounds wonderful...and I'm in LOVE with all those browns and burnt oranges and stuff in the second pallate....

You know you gotta keep us updated. That sounds so dreamy!!

And got these DKNY Soho Garden ones for $15 a panel clearance .

[img:$uid]http://i68.photobucket.com/albums/i9/jgascot/Image2-3.jpg[/img:$uid]

I haven't decided if I like the pattern to the outside or inside, but the guest room will be similar to what's shown here. Done in black and white, some wood, b&w artwork, touches of purple and teal in accessories and pillows/bedding.

John, I'm very happy for you!!

The living room ones are my absolute favorite! they will frame out our mid-century desk which will sit in front of the window (partly a design choice and partly to keep Bogart from wanting to eat everything that passes in front of our house thus constantly slobbering it up ). Here's the desk:

[img:$uid]http://i68.photobucket.com/albums/i9/jgascot/P8230042.jpg[/img:$uid]

You're the expert so I'm gonna pick your brain.

1)I was thinking wood blinds to go across (we probably wouldn't be closing the drapes often. Would this be too much (with the pattern and the lines on the desk)? I kinda think it's one of those things that could go really cool or really wrong. Also keeping in mind that the rest of the design will be clean and uncluttered. Also, I want to keep it masculine.
The only other thing I can think of is sheers, or maybe nothing (would that look unfinished or ok?). As you see in the house pic, it's a nice sunny window. I don't really want to lose any more light than what the panels will block from the two sidewindows.

2)I was thinking of the panels resting in front of the side window sections, I know I will lose some light from this. Ron suggested having the panels over the wall (like when you cheat a window to look larger) to keep the full window...my concern is won't it look odd? Only because I think you can tell it's not a window that needs to be cheated, and I'm afraid if we did, it would look like it was a whole wall of window, which for that room would seem out of place IMO.

Congratulations, John! Betina, you're so lucky!!

Thank you, dahling.

I'm actually going to skip the whole moving process (Betina does not do heavy lifting ) and go on a Spa Holiday. By the time I get back the house will be all done.
