I also love blue and white with red accents, Kay. And a cream room with red accents sounds lovely. I am more and more drawn to red as I get older – a deep cardinal red – not a bright lipstick red. Yes, Edith and Mildred need to be close to us at all times – they’re Schnauzers With Insecurity Issues – so even the kennels are where they can feel close to us. 😉 I am going to do the red toile in my office, Kay. I found out that the walls have to be painted first though (bleh) because if I don’t, the dark paint and the polka dots will show through the white part of the toile. Do you or Alan do any painting? 🙂 God bless your day….

I LOVE blue – it’s my favourite colour!! I like the Swedish style of having a mainly white room with red and blue accents. But Alan would HATE it! 😉 So, we compromise with a cream room with red accents. (However, I might sneak in a little, itsy-bitsy, smattering of blue somewhere!).
And I love the fact that Edith and Mildreds’s kennels are included in the family’s room. Mario, our cat, has his cat-box in a corner of our garden room. The vet recommended it so that whenever he needs to be taken to the vet’s surgery, Mario will have a familiar, comforting environment in which to travel.
I still think you should go for the toile in your study though. xxoo

In reply to Ganeida. Isn't that the truth, Ganeida! Yes, water in its own place, that's the best way. Your views on your island must be amazing. xxoo

Colour scheme works just fine for me. I love the light airy feel of these rooms ~ & water views are always a plus, especially if they belong there & haven’t just suddenly *arrived* uninvited! ?

Pretty colors you have there, Julie! I never thought of myself as a “blue-color lover” either…but funny how over the past six years I have added a lot of light blue and light aqua (one of my favorite colors now) to our new home. Then I was reading somewhere about the sensory reactions that colors have on the brain and blue is supposed to be relaxing 🙂
So hope you find your new rooms relaxing and filled with love, Julie!

Colors have always been your thing and I truly agree with your daughter, and who knows colors better or even the same as you do other than your own daugthers, and you can notice I said plural. They all have that gift of color.

I see only the blue that she speaks of and I think that the CAGES)in the corner are perfect (better than before)as it gives the critters more light and a much better view outside. The view you can expand on some time in the future with photos over a different time frame showing the different lights that He has now blessed you and Michael with. I would love to see also those 🙂

SIS it is time you slow down and not only look at the flowers but also smell them. That also means that some things do not always have to be exactly they way you have had in the past, you are in a new space, in a new time frame of your life, and a new outlook is beginning to come over you. Take a slow look around you including the new view of peace out over the “water” it is from where you came and it was the first step to the second portion of your life in Him. As time passes you will see a different peace come over you, than what you have ever had in the past few years.

When you look forward, there is a peace knowing Him that comes over you no matter what is before you. He is blessing you now with a new peace of what is around you and what he puts before you. As you look out at that lake think about what He has done from a boat, and how the shores of different lands were used for His purpose. There will always be peace with the waters, even though you have been flooded lately, it is a washing of His power, and a reminder that He is still in control no matter where we live. Blessings sis, till we meet again 🙂

Blessings

Julie, My thought, even before reading about the group Bible study, was how your living room is amazingly filled with light and peace. What a perfect setting to enter into the Word. My sincere wishes and expectation is that you and all who join with you will be filled with God’s truth to be manifested in your lives.
