Is this an Over 55 community, a la Del Webb or such? What is the total square footage of the house if you will share? Asking these cuz I am looking at moving and am gathering ideas.

Mirrors are wonderful and can be use in unexpected places to add dimension and light. When I put in mirrored back splashes in my kitchen I was a little concerned they would be too flashy but it turned out perfectly.La Vie Quotidiennehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01348063467803160245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5210558362945352459.post-67976367663956506552016-01-18T10:04:47.679-08:002016-01-18T10:04:47.679-08:00KathySue, it looks like you are making progress an...KathySue, it looks like you are making progress and I'm so glad you are enjoying your new home. I found, like you that it takes time to sense what the house is telling you it wants. I started a new Monday blog series today on homes that reflect their owners personality, entitled "Love Your Home." The color theme of the first feature today is not anything you would ever want to use, but I think you will enjoy some of her decorating ideas. http://beautywithoutwithin.blogspot.comElizabeth "Libby" Dayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17145264016754286426noreply@blogger.com
