Your house looks so pretty...I just lo...Oh Nikki...<br />Your house looks so pretty...I just love it! I love the Jersey cream color and the color you chose to do the porch floors too. As for my vote on that gorgeous front door. I'd say...umm, Red with the Jersey Cream color for that swag! <br /><br />Girl, I love that color of green wall in that room redo too! I can't wait to see your shelves that you and Kevin made for the pretty green room.... You both have worked so hard on your home...I can only imagine how proud you both feel of your accomplishments. You should feel very proud! You do such a great job!<br /><br />Kevin is so sweet.... bringing you those pretty flowers and that dessert tart looks so delish...he sure knows how to make a girl's day, doesn't he? <br /><br />Yes, sweetie whatever has been going on in your life...it will pass. Nothing never stays the same. (words my grandma used to tell me as a young adult, when I'd be a little down over a situation or trial....now, after all of these years later.... they ring in my head, and I'm so glad that she shared her wisdom with me. "Nothing Never Stays The Same". So True. Girl, I tell ya, I have been having my share of trials over the last several months too.... but I have hope...and I know that all things work out for our good. They always have. It may not seem like it, at the time, but I feel like God works it out, as he sees fit, and much better than I ever could myself. In every trial, I always remind myself that it's darkest just before the dawn, and Nothing ever stays the same.... this too shall pass. <br />I hope you have a happy and very blessed day! You have always been a blessing to me! <br />Big Hugs,<br />QueenieQueenie's Vintage Findshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00721900066940447320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32250132.post-23374369514182109792009-09-14T09:17:19.919-05:002009-09-14T09:17:19.919-05:00Hello!

The Gone With The Wind Ball was an enormous amount of fun. I also learned a few things I didn't know and it was amazing to see what avid collectors some of you ladies are!<br /><br /><br />As to your beautiful door, I'd definitely go red. Could you paint the three insets a different color, such as the cream and then paint the scrolls red? Then you would have your red scroll, but have more contrast to make them stand out. It would also tie in your house color. Just a thought.<br /><br />Thanks again for hosting such a fun event and I hope you have a great weekend!Tarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16454925115428994669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32250132.post-75013876400753772232009-09-11T09:24:27.767-05:002009-09-11T09:24:27.767-05:00I like the idea of the red with the color of the h...I like the idea of the red with the color of the house (beautiful color!).

I just love how it looks and it does pop.As for the swag,(using the virtual images you put up) I think I like the looks of the white swag. It's better to go with white and if you don't like it,it can be easily cover with a darker color.<br />Good luck on your choice!That Crazy Ajummahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15874359006831711711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32250132.post-83329774534019452522009-09-10T18:18:16.794-05:002009-09-10T18:18:16.794-05:00Nikki, I vote for the red with cream swag!

It seems like the house has so much character, and then the swag makes it feel a little... cartoon-y? I just feel like it brings down the look of the front door being its own color. If you painted it red and didn't like it, would it be hard to paint it back? (I'm guessing no since you're already planning on painting it...)<br /><br />Can't wait to see the transformation! It's going to look so beautiful up against that creamy house and those stormy floors!Amberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10878519029964274800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32250132.post-90247585919379826892009-09-10T10:07:31.137-05:002009-09-10T10:07:31.137-05:00I vote for the red door with black swag.

My grandmother's home and my great-grandmother's home in San Antonio had painted porches, so this is very nostalgic for me to see yours. The Ball was so much fun!!!
