My daughter recently moved into a brand new apartment. We loved shopping for furniture and accessories together. Her taste is traditional/modern, where mine tends to be colonial/traditional, but we have fun together and appreciate the other’s style.

This is a picture of her dining area. I love dark wood at the moment. One of the things I like about it, is that you don’t have to try to match tints and woodgrain. Dark pieces like these will mix in with any future wood selections, so the pieces will work no matter how your tastes and styles change.

I love her new bedroom furniture. Picking up on Cathy’s post Blue and White . . . Always Right, this bedding is something I believe she will enjoy for a long time. Don’t you just love the pop of color she added with the red throw and the lamps? And talk about doggies living in style, Betty, her little princess is spoiled beyond imagination! LOL

Finally, I have a question for you? This is something my daughter and I have been discussing over the past weeks. You see, we are a tall family! Therefore we have a tendency to hang our artwork too high on the wall. We are conscious of that, so when we are hanging a piece of art that stands on its own, without any furniture nearby; we occasionally question whether we are placing it too low. After that run on sentence, I hope you are grasping our problem. If you have any rules you follow, would you please send them our way . . . or is it really just a question of preference?

After looking at all of the new things at her house, I have the bug to get busy myself. So, I’m off to clean and maybe make a change here or there as well!
