It helped that the adhesive wasn't completely dry so they came out fairly easily.Joannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16449827163911239893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4424004817560458114.post-61930483954718808922010-06-25T00:13:23.850-07:002010-06-25T00:13:23.850-07:00I like this color combination -soft on the eyes!

Clearly I liked it, but it was just too much for a small room, especially a rental.<br /><br />Parsnip, it must be dreadful at 107 degrees. Just think of that cold snow. It's not actually on the ground here, just on the mountains and in fact this afternoon it got quite warm. Paloma must be the name of what I called the bluebird tile. It's so traditionally Mexican. I really do love it.<br /><br />Ches, thanks for the advice. You are quite right about those strong designs that wear out before they're finished. I had some curtains like that once. I liked them for about a month and then I had to live with them for four more years!<br /><br />Pay attention to your dreams, y'all.<br /><br />JoannaJoannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16449827163911239893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4424004817560458114.post-86896420873074745532010-06-23T16:49:55.339-07:002010-06-23T16:49:55.339-07:00I like your process and your final choice.

The problem with complex design is what happens when we get tired of it. Now if we could all channel professional advice through our dreams that would better than the internet. And just sleeping on things is a great thing.Cheshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07214918997716742448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4424004817560458114.post-45987543981775466032010-06-23T07:49:03.499-07:002010-06-23T07:49:03.499-07:00Lovely the soft colors, very nice.

There must be an appropriate place for those pretty bluebird tiles. <br />Or is it like those holiday clothes which are perfect for Hawaii or Jamaica but just look garish in our weaker summer sun?Stephanie Vhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03206167025245206754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4424004817560458114.post-66175983007263629352010-06-23T03:54:57.108-07:002010-06-23T03:54:57.108-07:00hi joanna - i'm finally stumbling out of the s...hi joanna - i'm finally stumbling out of the swamp of year-end work to close my class down so i've got lots of catching up to do!! i see the tiles as doing well without the red also. lovely in fact. stevenstevenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14132104804524716898noreply@blogger.com
