Thanks so much - we love it too! :) The color of the green wall is Sherwin Williams' Native Henna, and the tan wall is Sherwin Williams' Nomadic Desert. We didn't paint the hutch ourselves (we bought it that way from the antique store), but it is a flat black (not too blue, a grayer black) with a 'distressed' look that lets the wood show throw on edges once in a while. Hope that helps! :) -J Hi, Rebekah! Thanks so much – we love it too! :)

My Daulton "Lace Point" has only been out of the china cabinet in the last 10 years to be packed to move to a new house. It is beautiful but just not what I would want to use for a dinner party these days. Maybe I will have a granddaughter to give it to someday. Then she can display it in her china cabinet, exclaim how there is not a scratch on in because Grandma never used it. Maybe when other project are finished I will find that new set that I will love using for special dinners. The definition of setting a “nice table” has definitely changed.

That'll set a nice table.

"Maybe I should talk to A. - that would be a short conversation." I try to do this too, but not being at home for those conversations is precisely why being on the road in the fall can be dangerous! (I'm not just talking about the danger of hitting deer in rural IA, of course. :) ) Haha, I love the last paragraph! “Maybe I should talk to A. – that would be a short conversation.” I try to do this too, but not being at home for those conversations is precisely why being on the road in the fall can be dangerous!
