That valance was a Goodwill Disney label find that not only perfectly covered up the clutter on the open shelves behind it but fit in with the opposite side of the laundry room--our snack and microwave area--where large old lithos of Mickey and Minnie look down on us when we make toast or check for cookies in the cookie jar! <br /><br />Yes, Laurie, I could sit for hours watching her play. She is so serious about it but ever once in a while flashes us that smile that lights up our world.Dewenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07330797553600987145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7334613666852273616.post-54695129472110711362013-07-24T10:31:03.779-07:002013-07-24T10:31:03.779-07:00Thank you, Amy!

Like I said to Pat, above, it's beautifully composed and restrained homes like yours and hers, and others that I see on blogs, that make me hesitate to put my rooms in all their colors on this blog. But I too love to see where bloggers live as it does reveal ll the lovely differences between us and makes for an interesting world. As I've told you before, there is a part of me that yearns for what you blogged about in Abbey Style. And I'm loving your new blog.<br /><br />Everybody, go visit Becky's new blog, Good Riddance.

I loved to read about you visiting the Marine's house and going through his "storage shed" out back and taking home some of the loved pieces of your past to sneak those pieces of blue and white china into your wren house. I know, you're a minimalist, but this not-so-minimalist loves to think of those cozy touches around you!Dewenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07330797553600987145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7334613666852273616.post-46429216691557428002013-07-22T10:20:40.701-07:002013-07-22T10:20:40.701-07:00I loved Cross Creek too, Mary Ann!
