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.

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.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Consuela, my mother's kitchen is blue, white, and yellow, and I like it! Also I have cream walls with white cabinets, and I think it works.
This fall I might put some more color on my walls, but I'm not sure what/where.

Consuela, I don't think blue cabinets and white countertops go very well with a yellow wall. I think the green you posted would complement them well, and definitely think a light slate blue like this would work.
If the yellow wall is the feature you like most, I think black or rich brown stained cabinets would work better with it. Or all white.

Another thought...yellow walls with blue in the room will end up with a green appearance.

My mother's kitchen really looks just like that Pinterest link with the buttery yellow. Although her blue is a little darker, and it's the countertop, not the cabinets.

My idea of a kitchen is white(ish) walls, light colored wood cabinets, and darkish counters. I'm mellow on the details.
