Yes, these are so exciting for the spirit. They do rejuvenate don't they? I think we all need to be more daring in our designs and rooms. Why not? Rules on decorating are rules that need to be broken. Thanks for leaving a comment! This staircase of many colors is now my new metaphor for everything….design, color, joy, and living on the edge.

I guess that is why a patchwork quilt is more interesting than just a piece of fabric. I am into bits and pieces I guess. It represents life. The bench of many woods was a bit camouflaged in that photo. When I finish it and it looks a bit funky, I will post it in its final state.

That is why creative energy and expression is very special. Keep on collecting and add the the pile. Mine is growing too. Actually, there are no rules about anything when it comes to creative output.

I would really love to make a mosaic, but know it might not happen. Practical? Yes. Boring? Most definitely!! I did save the pieces of a duck dish that I 'let' my granddaughter break. No one was hurt, the dish fell behind a cupboard, but it's like I wanted it to happen when I placed things in front of it....Now the dish is more interesting [in it's broken-ness] and the head will look cool in among plants.

My blog is up! Oh, it is so primitive, but I will pursue the dark and seemingly inpenetrable mysteries of cyber technology and get it whipped into shape soon, thanks to the inspiration of women such as yourself. My blog is typepad Silkenwind. (I don't even know how to state my address correctly, but if you google typepad silkenwind, it comes up, and that's good enough for now.) I'll learn the proper lingo soon. Sincerely, Julia Moore O.K., Miss Phyllis Mendofleur…I went and did it! My blog is up!

Anyone that loves art the way you do would have a home that embraces this style. I think you are right about the uplifting mood of such a staircase. Who could be down after meditating on color-drenched stairs? I know you have some Muriel in you. Anyone that loves art the way you do would have a home that embraces this style.
