I have a lot of allergies, so mostly shop at IKEA for furniture, but since it is several hours away I don't always get everything I want there. Locally I shop wherever I can find solid wood and items which are compatible with my allergies. I like dark wood and earthy colors. Cozy. Oh, and red. ;)<br /><br />Amy - you are my dream neighbor!denisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07063730445661683331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27387788.post-2079027595624318902011-01-02T21:12:53.798-06:002011-01-02T21:12:53.798-06:00I am with you on the organizing part, but I haven&...I am with you on the organizing part, but I haven't gone so far as to paint.

My husband is off for almost two weeks and it is the best time for us to get rid of what isn't needed. We had grand plans of painting, but that hasn't happened. It's okay, we'll get there. <br /><br />I love the colour the boys chose for their space; it looks similar to what the main part of our house is painted - ours is called "Martini Olive." <br /><br />Happy New year to you and your family Denise.
