I'm sorry I can't figure out how to get a link in here. The pictures make her room look more pale than it really is. There are still a few things that we havent' finished in there.Terrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02065155969283461203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31982896.post-1155762959530464902006-08-16T14:15:00.000-07:002006-08-16T14:15:00.000-07:00Hi Terri, Yes I'd like to see the photos.

I don't know how to put a link in the comments sections or I'd link to it for you. It's somewhere in my archives. If I can find it, I'll let you know where it's located (that is if you're interested in seeing it).Terrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02065155969283461203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31982896.post-1155711503743975572006-08-15T23:58:00.000-07:002006-08-15T23:58:00.000-07:00Thank you for another thoughtful post.Thank you for another thoughtful post.Isabella in the 21st Centuryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01477890093845193073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31982896.post-1155669395078279062006-08-15T12:16:00.000-07:002006-08-15T12:16:00.000-07:00Deanna,Good point.

I said in an earlier post that if our tastes lean to the frilly and romantic, we need to be mindful of how husbands, sons, and male visitors to our house might feel. (I learned this one the hard way). When I was writing this post about black and white, I didn't think about how black could keep a room from tending to be too feminine. But, your post has helped me see another facet of why black works so well. I also love the idea of your dark green carpet, which I'm sure "grounds" things even further.<BR/><BR/>ElizabethMimihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13429722263321739095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31982896.post-1155669140527848842006-08-15T12:12:00.000-07:002006-08-15T12:12:00.000-07:00Thank you, Sandra, for visiting my post.

Like you, I am naturally drawn to pink and other pastels. While a completely pastel room might be fine for a dreamy 12 year old girl, it probably isn't appropriate when decorating a master bedroom shared with one's spouse. <BR/><BR/>Fortunately my dh likes pink and didn't mind when I painted our bedroom walls a pale shade of it. One wall already had wallpaper so I removed it and had it replaced with a narrow pink and white striped paper. The carpet we had installed throughout the house is a dark green berber which is surprisingly neutral -- like grass, I suppose. <BR/><BR/>I have added touches of black in lampshades, a couple of pieces of black furniture, a black iron mirrored wall decoration and an arrangement consisting of two black evening bags, a hat with a veil and a pair of black gloves. As you say, these touches of black *ground* an otherwise light and airy room thus preventing it from being too feminine for a master bedroom.Deannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17113928043039917799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31982896.post-1155668333998189942006-08-15T11:58:00.000-07:002006-08-15T11:58:00.000-07:00Hi Terri,Your daughter's room sounds like a room I...Hi Terri,<BR/><BR/>Your daughter's room sounds like a room I'd really love!<BR/><BR/>ElizabethMimihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13429722263321739095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31982896.post-1155664902469897212006-08-15T11:01:00.000-07:002006-08-15T11:01:00.000-07:00I wanted to tell you I've been enjoying your blog....I wanted to tell you I've been enjoying your blog. This is another good post.<BR/><BR/>I also like a touch of black or white in a room. My living room has some black and my kitchen, some white. I think it works in both rooms, at least I hope so. :o)Sandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02721919043603767131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31982896.post-1155662801687088722006-08-15T10:26:00.000-07:002006-08-15T10:26:00.000-07:00Great post!
