Although, I must say your whole house is gorgeous!!! I myself want to go whiter - would live to repaint living room, dining room and hallway all white.

Your's was certainly pretty. I can see why you felt the connection. My friend got a tree one year that she actually turned into a bottle tree. It really is pretty on her lanai. <br /> So if you painted your walls would you paint them a color or would you paint them white?

I just know it will be an inspiration to me! Hope to see you at Mt. Dora.

I want a complete new look so I am currently repainting everything I want to keep white and everything else is making it's way out the door one by one. Some rooms are looking bare but I don't care, I only want what I love and nothing to clutter my new space with. Besides, it's going to make moving much easier when I don't have to pack a ton of junk.Vagabonds Mercantilehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03810766586409920216noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7187306225422361237.post-69443170571464155422012-01-02T09:14:23.834-05:002012-01-02T09:14:23.834-05:00Oh my goodness Shelley!

well I see it's too late now, bu...Dear Shelley,<br />well I see it's too late now, but my first advice would have been one I was given lately and that is "traditions are like rules and rules are there to break", well at least every now and then. You know here in Germany the tradition is to bring in the tree ( a real tree for that matter) on Christmas eve, so that it is a surprise for the kids who should not see it before. It always has been like this in our family and for several years now it always makes me so sad when I see all the pretty trees up in blogland long before I can put my own up, until last month someone (a US friend btw)gave me the advice to break the rule and I did it and you know what, I'm so happy with it! I put my tree up a whole week before Chistmas this season and it still looks frsh and pretty and I had so much more time to enjoy it. I still could not bear to put it out right now and will keep it at least until next weekend. So my advice for you is when you have a real tree again next year and you still feel like you can't let it go, break your own rules and just keep it for another week! The next thing I do is when I put my tree out, I put it on the porch to make it a winter feeder for the birdies. Birds and other little critters all love it and it looks very pretty too, with all the bird food hanging in it. I even ponder about keeping the tree for the whole year to see how it will look without needles. I already tried that last year too but then I had help in the garden and without asking me they just trow it away argh! I saw a bare fir tree in a magazine once and it looked amazing another kind of decoration, but still natural.<br />Well now to cut the long story short and finally answer your question, yes! I often dream about starting all over again just like you described it and I think if it was possible I'd go for it!<br />Happy new year my vegan friend!<br />xoxo~ CarolaBoxwood Cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09227394141707792808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7187306225422361237.post-28743441389459769382012-01-02T01:00:10.800-05:002012-01-02T01:00:10.800-05:00I would love to just haul it all outside and then ...I would love to just haul it all outside and then edit edit edit.
