I've been keeping my eye open for a tall vase for the area you mentioned.  I was at an art show and saw a wood sculpture  that was stunning and would have been the masterpiece of the house, but it was well out of my price range.. dummy me did not take a picture of it to see if we could ever try to duplicate it. I thought about taking the wall darker yet since the room is so large.. and in those pictures I have the shades dropped down so the windows look a little bare.  It's just when I have you ladies come over for coffee and vinegar, I want my house to look perfect.

At least he had fun doing it.  It's a very striking piece of stone.  I love the little terraced wall that sets that part of the yard apart.  Very pretty.
This too shall pass.  All is well.

Did you ladies also know if you drink three cups of straight vinegar every day, you will live forever?  Seriously there is no credence to some of the health claims of vinegar, like cider vinegar prevents/cures ulcers.  Be wary of all that garbage.

Beautiful house Laurie!  I absolutely luuuvvvv the kitchen.  I am not the best decorator in the world, but the first thing that hit me above the fireplace (since you have a painting coming already for above the TV) was big, black letters spelling a favorite word of yours.  Like  LOVE, FAMILY, FREINDS, VINEGAR, etc.  Not painted on, the block ones that stick out.  Simple but would probably add a pop.

Thanks Pooh.. I loved the kitchen too.. yesterday I cleaned all those cabinet fronts, and cleaned out the drawers.. and gosh I have a lot of those... above the one bank of drawers where the tv hangs.. that was suppose to all be upper cabinets, but heck I'm only 5'1" so they weren't going to do me any good, so I had them put up the long shelf, and my electrical is on the underside of that shelf... the counter right there was suppose to be a bar sink and desk with a little counter area.. I made it all counter and now I have 15' of buffet area.    I have all the tall storage next to the fridge as well, and then I still have a huge walk in pantry.. my bedrooms are a little smaller but I've got tons of storage in this house.  The letters may look good on the wall in the kitchen to the left of the tv as well.

Pooh

I love the 15' of counter too.  And I love the glass above it!  Lol.
