I painted each room a totally different color -there was no flow! It was so awful looking back -like living in a rainbow. Tan hallway, green living room, bright red dining room, bright yellow kitchen, deep blue bedroom, bright green bathroom - YIKES! flow is important and I remember that ever since.ArchitectDesign™https://www.blogger.com/profile/01481754380363676771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1908660775553052007.post-38565636557684422932013-02-21T12:08:24.011-05:002013-02-21T12:08:24.011-05:00My decorating mistake: having my husband

It's kind of fun to experiment and push things a little in your home own, and let's just say not every idea is a homerun.

I put together a room, in my mind it looks like what I saw in a movie or magazine, and THEN....I see the reality when I take a picture of my "new" room.<br />I have gone through every trend over the last 53 years you can imagine. My WORST...The RL, floral fabrics! The idea was to continually add different prints to the same room. My bed was filled with every print the company put out...and I thought it was Fabulous! <br />I love your reference to your Downton Abbey room!!! I wonder how many will begin to appear in our mags? My all time favorite...the SH home in Something Gotta Give!

My most recent one, that you will know, is painting the backs of my bookcases coral in my master bedroom. They are too loud for me.
