Sounds lovely! There really isn't much else you can do with a Palladian window, but that sounds like an attractive solution. We have a guest room that has a pine cannonball post bed, wardrobe, etc, and I decorated that room with Federal era accessories and a put a handmade quilt and shams on the bed. It isn't perfectly correct, but it looks good to me. Now I need to finish doing the master bedroom, as soon as I have some money to burn....someday.

Morning folks!

that sounds GREAT! i think that perfect rooms might as well be in a museum or a furniture store. better to mix it up a bit, according to your own taste.

once i get something furnished that is the way it stays. i don't move furniture around, and i don't get any redecorating urges. but now i have this 1200 sq feet downstairs that doesn't have a stick of furniture in it. we did get a day bed to put in the guest room down there, and ordered 2 leather sofas and a chair.

i noticed yesterday that the single cabinet in the wetbar that was missing and they have been waiting on a replacement, was put up. unfortunately, it does NOT MATCH THE REST OF THE CABINETS. gotta call the contractor about that. the only other thing we are waiting on down there to be done, is the tile backsplash. have to wait for the tiles to come in.

i have been cursed with expensive taste. we went to look at wooden blinds for the windows down there. and so i go to the one that appeals to me, and xshub is just shaking his head saying, you automatically go to the most expensive thing in here. i said how do you even know? turns out he was right. they were some select hardwoods and would have been $500 per window. needless to say we didn't get them,!
