Plus I do love color and pattern. I just think it makes a room so much more interesting. I did go for white sofas in my living room, but that was after two plaid and one checked couch (red and white check of course!) that resided there for years! I wanted change. They are not however slipcovered and they are always adorned with tons of red pillows and throws! Great to have a partner in design crime! ;) Kim https://www.blogger.com/profile/15445291034631735026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7072740790042271296.post-4255885124651213222014-09-11T19:38:46.206-04:002014-09-11T19:38:46.206-04:00Thanks so much Julie! :)Thanks so much Julie! :)Kim https://www.blogger.com/profile/15445291034631735026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7072740790042271296.post-50486495944884827802014-09-11T19:38:27.319-04:002014-09-11T19:38:27.319-04:00I love that idea!

It's probably because of our climate, but I cannot keep lemons out in a bowl or anything else. I have to keep them in ziploc bags or they deteriorate very, very quickly. Limes are the same way. They will keep for a couple of weeks or more in the fridge, but only a few days if left out. Too bad, too, because I think there is nothing prettier than a bowl of lemons or limes. I do have some fake ones that look pretty darn real!An Oasis in the Deserthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03775583025686145582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7072740790042271296.post-40073065122688340552014-09-09T10:49:07.420-04:002014-09-09T10:49:07.420-04:00Thanks Maria!

Also, there's nothing prettier than fruit.<br /><br />I have to tell you that I appreciate your point of view. You know I feel a little out of step these days because of my love of color. No slip covers here either - because even though I love the look, I'm not about to wash them all the time. We both just need to keep doing our thing. :)<br /><br />By the way, have you noticed more color in catalogs recently? We are trend setters!!Staceyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05728612514516285320noreply@blogger.com
