Sigh...it's a dismal January and I am typing surely to explode some life into this monotone gray world.

Toscana is sadly not sold...wishing some one would carry on this fabulous Toscana Girl legacy...I love what the shop stands for "Decorate with what you love!". Surely I have never been one to follow trends and everything in my home does indeed collect memories and is truly part of my soul. So as I looked at my house now void of all Christmas decor...I quickly whipped out my fan deck of colours and voila...have picked a few new additions... the spackle is drying as I have filled all the dents and numerous picture holes. That's it!! My gloomy downstairs hallway is going a creamy white and yes...I think the trim will remain white...but those doors...well... I am working up the confidence to paint those bad boys a muted shade of black. I have discussed this with my husband a few years back and received a NO! Now...he thinks the idea is close to brilliant! Thanks Canadian House & Home Maganzine for actually showing the idea last month. Now...to address that issue of storage...I am trying to come up with something...wish me luck.

As for the rest of the house....I NEED FLOWERS!! Yup I have decided a couple of yellow and red flowers might just rock my world (but let's face it...I always bring home white! *wink*)...not too mention the re-instating of my favorite ochre cushions and vases. The next thing is to explode a little white and french moments into my family room.

Whew...Here goes project central. Watch out January...I am going lighten and brighten you like never before!
