A couple of coats of Benjamin Moore White Dove paint magically made so much difference in playing up all the gorgeous light we get. My daughter did a great job picking out the style and upholstery of the dining chairs. I'm not surprised that you love them, given your penchant for anything in that color family. :)Dana@Mid2Modhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03055460107477850683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9087940973013594269.post-76903055998507778942015-10-09T23:15:56.308-05:002015-10-09T23:15:56.308-05:00I am drooooooling!!

Aside from the inconvenience, who wants people traipsing through checking out the gifts under your tree and coming back later to nab them? I hope the house will sell quickly when we finally put it on the market...IF we put it on the market. Every time my daughter thinks about packing and moving so soon after the last move, she cringes.<br /><br />You're right that life/family changes can be challenging, but one good thing about being almost 70 years old is that I know from my own experience that all situations are temporary, and a few months/years down the line, they become memories rather than crises.Dana@Mid2Modhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03055460107477850683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9087940973013594269.post-79692324621875735832015-10-06T10:07:03.199-05:002015-10-06T10:07:03.199-05:00Good morning, Dana!

The sisters who bought the house to flip didn't understand this 1964 beauty at all, so we had to undo a lot of their changes to get it back to "modern mode." I think people looking for a mid-century home will appreciate it more now. It has a huge yard and LOTS of sprinkler zones, since it's heavily landscaped, both front yard and back. Now that my daughter and I are trying to maintain it by ourselves, it's turned into more of a challenge than we want.Dana@Mid2Modhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03055460107477850683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9087940973013594269.post-73490544089415643662015-10-05T11:32:49.942-05:002015-10-05T11:32:49.942-05:00Love it, Dana!
