I too love Joni and her style...I was one of those who said KEEP the zebra rug and just thought I was, per usual, going against the tide! I am tickled that she kept it! I LOVE the pop orange too.<br />I love the room and, even tho' a redo is out of the question right now, I can be inspired by Joni, by you and enjoy seeing such lovely spaces.<br /><br />Heck, I DO have baskets with book and lots of bowls with shells, many fromn South Padre Island (Like Joni's) from our time living in Corpus Christi! That may be as close as I ever get to great style but hey. It's a start right? *smile*<br /><br />Love,<br />SueSusie Qhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14878113034866113803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3399639578758058574.post-14031669420780647972009-04-20T00:12:00.000-05:002009-04-20T00:12:00.000-05:00Joni...thanks for sharing that exciting and stress...Joni...thanks for sharing that exciting and stressful time in your life with us.

Love the room as is but was a fan of the zebra rug. Joni helped me out by kindly sharing a photo with me that I had seen on her blog a while back when I was looking for blue silk draperies. She's a nice lady. <br />I was disappointed that the comments were closed for your Tea Party post, as I hadn't had a chance to read it. If I had been able to comment I would have been congratulating you on your honesty and integrity. I would have mentioned how, if anyone were to meet you, they'd know that you are the REAL DEAL, just good through to the core- the kind of person a good friend can depend on for suppport, and I have many times. People like you allow others to have their opinion and speak out with patience and kindness- isn't that a liberty? Isn't it wonderful to have liberties? I think everyone needs to start at the very base just as we do at home- family first. This equates to me as country first. Amerioa first- who gives a fig about what the rest of the world thinks if there is unrest in America? God bless America, and God bless you too Rho. Don't make apologies for being honest and open. They are good qualities to possess. Just wish more of those were being spread around our country these days. One last note- my daughter and her husband were at the Atlanta tea party- I wasn't able to attend but was there in spirit.They had a great and positive experience. They said the crowd was peaceful and kind and very friendly. They were amazed to watch the coverage the next day and see how slanted the media coverage was. They didn't see those present as rich white people as Nancy Pelois had categorized them as, but found the crowd diverse-- people of many colors, many ages-- many with small children and entire families together, and from both major parties. Wake up time- you're not getting the truth if you listen to the bias. I wish some of those who opposed this would realize how easily maniuplated they have been by the majority of the media- no wonder Fox news is busting butt in the ratings.

I think the honesty of bloggers is one of the things that is better than the professionally produced magazines. If we are fortunate life happens in our homes and has the scars to prove. Like the Japanese view of pruning, the scars are part of the beauty, too. And is there anything that is not better with laughter?
