Walls and cabinets the same colour would be fine.

If you're doing a neutral colour, you could always pick something in the mushroom-y colours of your counter, comme ca: [link]

I do like the yellow. Blue and yellow says French to me.

mac and I went through all of his clothes. 2/3 of them are to get rid of. crazy.

I wish I could, Consuela.

I like the idea of a pale buttery yellow. I've never been much on white with cream. Sometimes it works and sometimes it looks like a mistake. While I like grays with that color blue, they might not go with the yellow in the oak. Color is hard.

Hmm, I really like this yellow, and it looks like it would go well. But I've learned the colors on the website are really REALLY not to be trusted; I'll have to get another pint to make sure.

SO COMPLICATED.

It really is decision-fatigue. I end up just jumping so I can be done, rather than perfect.

I identify with this SO HARD right now.

I'm catching up with an online course about popularity while I wander through my bedroom finding more things to throw away. How do I have so many things? How.

Things multiply when you're not looking. Left alone, especially in a drawer or closet, things, within a matter of weeks, will have tripled or even quadrupled in number.

Things multiply when you're not looking.

They really do. And it's amazing how few of them you actually need. I've been living at my sister's house for 3 weeks, and aside from a few toiletries, I've been getting by fine with about 10% of my clothing, and none of my books. (Although I do have my computer, ipod, and cellphone. And my sister has a fully-equipped kitchen.)

Was Temecula unbearably hot, Pix?

Actually, no. It was hot, but breezy. There was also a lot of wine, so I don't know how much my memory is to be trusted.

Things definitely multiple on their own. Like rabbits.

Oh, I would *kill* for that deco table with the stars in the corners. So adorable and different, with the diagonal-set legs and the cutwork legs themselves.

Our furniture's a mixture of family pieces: wood-framed oak mirrors, grandmother's oak washstand, bedside table, alabaster lamps, side chair, the crib I and both our kids slept in, my dad's club chair, a couple of side tables. Bought used/thrifted: pair of Victorian pressback kitchen chairs, antique breakfront, side table, dresser from Goodwill, and a wood and glass curio, the Ikea glass doored bookshelf we use for china, and the round Danish dining table and chairs off Craigslist.

We've had our share of Sauer and O'Sullivan bookcases and computer desks. We'd much rather find real wood pieces used. I know that's not feasible when you're trying to put a new place together in a hurry. But small piece, once the big things are in place, you might find Craiglisted locally.
