Yes -- I do vote for the pink room for its charm and sense of warmth, whimsy and joy. The white room seems too cold -- and joyless. How odd to see how the large mirrors are making their way back onto to the decor scene -- so many folks pulled out those large plate mirrors -- and installed smaller ones!<BR/><BR/>Jan at Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-922760901705441583.post-82961162312452609142007-07-27T11:43:00.000-05:002007-07-27T11:43:00.000-05:00Beautiful photos!

The Pink one seems more romantic to me and I am in a romantic frame of mind at the moment.

The only thing I wonder about is the issue of our consumerism and the recycling of products. As a Designer I am starting to become very aware of throwing everything out into landfills when we become tired of them. I do like the idea of some permancy in our homes.
