It is not a good decorating scheme to put your computer in the kitchen."

But I do not pay attention. And here I am. Back in the kitchen. And I just had to look at TOTV and at this thread. And I was not going to do that until tonight.

I will try to not talk so much about Cincinnati. Not even about how to decorate Cincinnati style. I will try to remember that Cincinnati is not the center of the universe. Well, maybe my little universe. But I will try to behave.

And besides, what started all this was my little trip last weekend up I-75 where that little decorating supplement to the Detroit News made me a whole new woman. Here I am back in Cincinnati ready to "color my world."

Now, I have to show you what I have been doing since that Maine Cottage site came into my life. I have found the most wonderful sofa. (My people call it a couch, but OK, I can say sofa.)

I saw this one in the newspaper article. It is called "Venus." It is a little channel back honey. But it costs a blue fortune. I think so anyway, especially to put in a sunroom/snowroom/whatever. But this little sofa-couch-davenport is calling to me. I have been going into the site and changing the colors of that upholstery since I got back in town. I am not even sure that we are permitted to have such wild looking pieces of furniture in Cincinnati.

So here's "Venus." (Whoops! I checked the link and see that it shows up without the fabric I keep putting on it. It has some dull, bland color on it in the picture. It must think it has to be more subtle to live in Cincinnati. I keep playing around with the blues. If you want to have a shot at it, you can upholster away, too. All those colors are right there.)

Boom.

It looks like it is from the 40's era, when our moms were gorgeous. But she says, But it looks like a two but sofa not a three but couch. And it looks beautiful but not comfortable.
