Using up and down strokes on the semi-dry brush, I made the most amazing faux-wood paneling effect. It looked sooooo cool. That was my one and only Stevie-inspired room. Dark woods, Persian rugs, shawls, candles. Sigh..

p.s you both are gorgeous. best of luck with the little ones.

Thank you- that's sweet.

I think I've seen painted paneling that I thought looked nice. Your Stevie-inspired room sounds fabulous.

Thanks. And sadly, no photos to document it. I do recall it was a bummer to dust, though.

I was inspired at the same time by Marie, Queen of Roumania. Her castles were legendary in their hodge-podge, eclectic style of rugs and candles, statues and potted lilies (go ahead Lily...), chunky dark wood furniture and Art-Nouveau carved panels and lamps.

Why wasn't I born so rich...

Took me a minute to wrap my brain around that one. :P But congratulations! You both look very nice.

Oh, sorry. That all just sort of slipped out..

At any rate, my tat is still there and I'm quite alone. But, it is an interesting conversation piece and no one knows what it is unless they can read Tamil. So, I could say it's Swahili and means "Mama say mama sah ma-ma koo sah".
Who'd know?

Or, he goes home for a "vacation" and comes back married!

Wow, congratulations! I grew up with two aunts and an uncle around my age. It will be good for the kids. I am the oldest grandkid so my aunts and uncle were like cousins. I didn't have an actual cousin until I was 10.

Color. My husband is a hairdresser and he was recently trained on a new product that immediately strips all artificial color out of your hair. We're planning on doing that and then finding a color that most matches my natural color. If we can see through all the gray, that is.

It's good to see ledgies, to be able to put faces to names & personalities. It tightens our online community.
