Annette, it's gorgoeus!

Once again I need to tell you what a great job you and Darryl have done with the renovations.

Please let us know when you get the first rental. It's definitely a moment to celebrate - even though you may have mixed feelings about it.

"I did most of the work in the bedroom--the canopy, accent pillows, bed skirt, throw, covered the lampshades, etc. In the living room all I did was add the fringe to the draperies and covered lampshades"

Oh, is that all!!

Fantastic job, what a beautiful place!

Wow, Annette, you truly are a woman of many talents. If I thought the apartment was fantastic before, I'm now double impressed that you did so much of that gorgeous needle work yourself. Your family is very lucky to have a talented cook, baker and seamstress in the family!

An exalt for all your skills!

Annette - It's absolutely gorgeous! That company has such wonderful apartments! I love the one with the terrace overlooking the Seine!

I, frankly, love the light blue with all the taupes and ivories. Add a touch of light blue in the LR (or wherever) and no one will know how much you suffered over the kitchen! However, I know how disappointed one becomes when something that important does not come to fruition as planned!!!

Have a Merry Christmas and I hope you get a trip to Paris!!!!!!!!!!
