My orginial thoughts were Pottery Barn with a touch of Asian BUT now I've gotten sentimental and have the movers taking quite a few of my New England things. So, I don't know what the heck I'm going to end up with !!!!!!!!!!!! My best thought out plans just got thrown out with the stale wine.

A friend took a decorating class at Lifelong Learning College and the decorator said that dark wood is accurately the "old Florida" style and fits very well with the white wood work. The earlier homes were furnished by well heeled people who brought their dark wood furniture with them. She said to make it blend by adding some touches of tropical and beach. I would like to take that class.
