The needlepoint is much more elegant than anything you could possibly do in white or other neutrals. Neutrals may be classic, but they can also be BORING! Your houses have always delighted me because your furniture is classic and there is no clutter--I can't abide rooms where there's absolutely no place to set a teacup or sit down without moving something.

Although we live in a "colorful" house, I love your neutral pallet. And I think it is hard to accomplish with style. I see many blogs with a similar pallet but they don't seem to be able to pull it off -- but you do! The children's room is precious. Comfy, cozy but not overdone! I like your simplicity in decorating and in tabletops as well. But my only comment -- where are the children's clothes?Marthahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18114417561785860122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3804818183817823900.post-66816734886543916272014-04-07T18:02:49.440-04:002014-04-07T18:02:49.440-04:00I love your chair and as much as your like neutral...I love your chair and as much as your like neutrals, what you plan is beautiful . . . but I think I would leave the needlepoint alone and maybe redo the back and arms in that neutral and then when you see the front of the chair . . . surprise!

We spent all of our time fixing up the old farmhouse (it was before our children) and we just don't want to use our time for that at this point (we'd rather play with the children).
