OK, Samantha has a dilemna. She and her H plan to redecorate. and want a rustic ski-lodge feeling..am I right?<P>Well, all I know about ski lodges is what I've seen on TV. Based on that, it seems to me that she is talking lots of wood; bright, warm colors; lots of texture.<BR>Maybe rough-sawn cedar paneling, stone fireplace, wood floors with colorful rugs, overstuffed leather furniture...<BR>Although I've seen rough-sawn cedar paneling and it's beautiful, I personally wouldn't want it; I need something smooth so I can just wipe it off (without worrying about scraped knuckles!). Depending on the style home she has, she could also use rich colors on her walls. My den walls are a rusty-red color, with cream trim. H thought I was crazy when I started painting, but he loves it now.<P>Personally, I've always loved the look of the Cartwrights' home on the old TV show, BONANZA.<P>Come on! Let's give Samantha a hand! One of us might have an idea that she and her H love!<BR>LC<BR>

<B>Lady Clueless</B><P>What a special lady you are. Thank you. I can't tell you how much this means to me. <P>Life has gotten the best of me and I need sleep. I will be back and am so appreciative of your efforts on my behalf. {{{{{{{{{{{{{{{Lady Clueless}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}<P>Much love and big hugs,<P>------------------<BR><B>God bless you and all of us. We are all going to make it, all of us! With God on our side we can't lose! What God has joined together let no man put asunder. <P>Samantha</B><p>[This message has been edited by A blessed Samantha (edited April 26, 2001).]
