Are you going to paint your walls white? If you can stand looking at it for awhile, you can get some paint samples and paint a few swatches of white and a few swatches of gray on your wall and then decide the combination you like the best. Can't wait to see what you choose!<br />RobinRobinfromCAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15991684488709559707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8215717584988055006.post-47109192050548889272015-09-06T17:21:29.941-05:002015-09-06T17:21:29.941-05:00Well whatever you do, I'm sure it'll look ...Well whatever you do, I'm sure it'll look lovely as always.

I'm with you ~ I try something like the photos and it ends up looking like I took everything I owned and put it in one place! :) Love the pigs! I would totally paint the walls and paneling in light colors ~ would lighten the room and seem more spacious. I so wish I could change colors here!<br /><br />xo<br />PatGypsy Hearthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13212447439580468374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8215717584988055006.post-39953650252966946362015-09-05T21:30:11.565-05:002015-09-05T21:30:11.565-05:00Love your wall of little frames with b/w photos. ...Love your wall of little frames with b/w photos.

The black and white photos in the totally fun white frames is awesome. I love that photo of beautiful you in black hair. I think I will have a glass of wine to celebrate me having time to visit today.

I poured over it again and again just soaking in every charming pic and illustration. Did you enjoy her paper doll inserts? I think I have every one of them in a little ME suitcase that my mother-in-law sent me. It's my treasure chest. I too am into cozy. I am crazy for the lovingly layered look. I don't have anything in our home that is without meaningful memory or just because we love it. So enjoyed this post!<br /><br />Big Texas Hugs,<br />Susan and BentleySusan Freemanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04323206599839838089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8215717584988055006.post-35947861776503276112015-09-05T08:01:38.044-05:002015-09-05T08:01:38.044-05:00ooooooh i do have much to say. i think the hutch w...ooooooh i do have much to say. i think the hutch would look great in gray, a lighter gray, i have never used chalk paint but you will figure that out, it's a beautiful piece of furniture.<br /><br />i don't like a lot of clutter, especially on the table tops. one pretty dish, one scrapbook opened to a favorite page that matches the current season and maybe a picture frame. although i do like the pictures you shared, i think the tables look too cluttered!!<br /><br />i am into white myself these days, with no energy to repaint anything. not that i would actually paint.....it the before and after work i'm not up for. i LOVE the 2 stools. the white on and the last black one!!!!!Debbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16823369215793154260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8215717584988055006.post-56461753650193191562015-09-05T00:04:47.289-05:002015-09-05T00:04:47.289-05:00BJ, your little hutch full of ironstone will look ...BJ, your little hutch full of ironstone will look wonderful in a soft gray.

I think the problem with things like those two tables for collections in ME is that as soon as you put anything else on it ( like keys or whatever...) then it doesn't look so good!
