The Boi is so talented and handy -- he designed a special folding table for me in the laundry room, set up some drying lines, and hung my spice racks artistically. He makes

Wow -- what a story. We'ere on our third potential bed covering right now, and are waiting for it to arrive in the mail. Fingers crosed this one works or we will be on teh lookout for a long time.
I, too, and very sensitive to color. I guess that's why I am super excited to get the interior of the house painted in Spring. It's that uber-clinical white that the realtor had painted everwhere. Eww, eww, and more uncomfortable eww-iness. There's a 'stress' test that begins by asking how you would react or feel in a white room with no doors or windows. It's supposed to indicate how you handle anxiety. I said I freak out (loud noises, hart racing, etc.). The Boi says he stops everything and just becomes calm. Intersting combo we make.
Anyhow, the colors will be bold and very present. Each room will have it's own 'life'. :)

Writing from Juliana's house to say that the decorating plans will look awesome. I've just toured the beautiful place. The boi is cool, because he builds all this awesome stuff for Jules. She's definitely a lucky gal.

It's a little weird to be up past my bedtime to hang out with them, but it's worth it :-)
