Bottomline, you need to feel good in the color that surrounds you.
Which I think is one of the truest statements there is in decorating.
If you look in your closet and pick your favorite outfits, you'll see what you lean toward and what looks best on you. You want to feel that same way about your home. With my skin tone I look terrible in orange, and turn green in lime greens. For that very reason you will never find either in my home.

Well said Marilyn!

Toodles I love your home. I love the earthy feel to your colors and the fireplace is beautiful. It is very close to what I want someday. For now most of my decor is from the dollar store . Someday we hope to make it look much more elegant. Good luck on finding your new place.

Thank you Marilyn for the web-site. I played with it a little while and I really like it. I saved it in my favorites. It will take some time, but I'll get it done. I usually have to do everything myself, so maybe this summer or fall I can get it done.

I didn't show my bathrooms, one, I'm pleased with, but the other is horrible. I won't be able to do anything with it really unless I change the tub, toilet and sinks. When we first built the house, harvest gold was 'the thing.' Now it makes me sick just to go in there. I would love to get that changed too and hopefully sometime I will be able to.

When we first married, we lived in apartments, a rent house, then we bought our mobile home. We lived in our trailer for 3 or 4 years while we built our first dream home. That house had a lot of sweat equity. For colors, the toilet, tub, counter tops, sinks, kitchen appliances, Formica in kitchen, floor coverings, wall paper in bathroom were all HARVEST GOLD. I thought it was such a beautiful color. Our first appartment had been harvest gold & my sister's kitchen appliances were harvest gold. Carpet in master was gold, one bedroom was green, other and living were rust. We were so proud of our first home. In a couple of years, I realized what a mistake we had made. Harvest Gold had been in style for quite a while, and was going out . If we'd stayed in that house, we'd have had a lot of expensive things to replace. Now I know better. More permanent fixtures are neutral colors or stainless steel now. I so understand.
