I look forward to reading your posts at whatever frequency works for you. Your home looks lovely.

Really like all of the soothing, relaxing, spa-like colors you've used. <br /><br />Cleaning the kitchen is the bane of my existence. <br /><br />Very good tip about taping the cords to table legs or otherwise concealing them from sight. One thing I noticed at a home furnishing store in Paris quite some time ago was that they had long, skinny velvet "sleeves" to cover the unsightly chains/cords on hanging pendant lights, and I thought it was so gorgeous. I've also seen the same thing for table lamps, which is another way, besides taping them out of the way, of dealing with the way they look. Sort of an "if you can't beat 'em, join 'em" approach. <br /><br />Amities,<br />Marsi<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4130537499074859934.post-36823584450201172492013-08-12T19:49:46.083+12:002013-08-12T19:49:46.083+12:00The privacy issue is what prevents me from hiring ...The privacy issue is what prevents me from hiring a cleaner also, Fiona.

Most of the time I can barely see the difference after I clean and then before you know it, it's time to clean again! Another thing that bothers me is that it is expected of me simply because I am female. Our house is fairly clutter free and tidy though so that makes cleaning a bit easier. I am also frugal like you and just can't justify paying someone else to do something I can easily do, I would also feel bad for the person cleaning our mess! Your home is lovely and has a very serene feeling to it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
