The Silver Screen Oasis

I can never make up my mind whether I like those bleached white or beige floorboards, or the really dark espresso ones. I guess either would make me happy. My family is so middle of the road, nothing drastic ever makes it's way in here. I love high contrast.

lol, oh, Wendy, you sound like Charlie Brown! You have a lovely home. You know, the way you describe it reminds me of the house in one of the later Anne of Green Gables books, after she marries. Remember their first house? It was very quirky, not at all what she dreamed of but then she began to see its "flaws" lovingly and it became their "house of dreams".

I love wood floors of any kind. I wish I could afford to have my own stripped, re-sanded and polished. They need it but my landlord would never spring for it.

I've discovered white can be the most practical color so long as the items are designed to remove the covers and throw them in the washer (with bleach, if needed). Dark colors do hide soiling, but I always fear they make me lazy and then they just accumulate dirt you can't see. With white you know it actually is clean. Except when red wine is served....
