Glad to know I am not the only woman going to sleep with decorating fantasies cruising around in my thoughts! We are here just over a year, and I am still in the process of creating a home we enjoy. Other than a pub table in the kitchen area, everything we have came with us--after months of down-sizing (if Goodwill gave awards, I would have a crown. A jeweled crown...). Mostly ours, some handed down from my family and my husband's family. My in-laws, bless their hearts, left every blessed thing they had ever owned, and we still have some of it here in storage (after 9 years). We want our home to be pleasing and comfortable to us, so that's my goal. If you like silk flowers, then have them (though I agree with other posters that I am very picky about where I buy them). If you love your dark (or light) furniture, then have it and enjoy it! But would someone puh-leez let me know what you've done with the sliders to the lanai in terms of window treatment? Having trouble visualizing what would I would like most: side panels w/valance, valance alone? Thanks to anyone with suggestions, and I love reading about what you all have done.
