If I did use it in my home I'd probably go with the lighter end of the scale. I've learned that I don't typically live well with intense colors on my walls. (See 10 years ago with a red bedroom and silver trim?!?! Apparently, I had a subliminal wish to occupy a bordello? What was I thinking? Well, I wasn't using my brain anyway!)Uncle Beefyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01865761598525174229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30414727.post-34623042830781518762008-09-11T11:09:00.000-07:002008-09-11T11:09:00.000-07:00What a beautiful collection of images!
