Meet The Palette
Ladies and gents, je me presente my THE palette!After many days of scrambling through stacks and stacks of catalogs (182 catalogs, to be exact), laying them out on the floor, staring at them for days.. under both natural and artificial lighting, I've finally decided on the fabrics of my chateau's living space.Now, all I have to do is find a bunch of Louis XVI medallion arm chairs, some mirror furniture, and a lotttt of patience.Havi

When He's Okay
Him: "How are you?"Her: SilenceHim: "How are the horses?"Her: Um-hummHim: "If horses are okay, girl is okay, no?"Her: True. Very trueIB loves me, he does. My lovely horse loves me and I know it everytime I see him; how he bears my weight gently on his back, how he listens to my vocal aid and signals. When it comes to anything that concerns him, I love doing everything myself: carressing, brushing, showering (& I join and make it a group activity), drying, walking, bandaging his tendons, and feeding. I love it.

The Fireplace Heroine
I love the color palette, & whilst my walls are not white (yet) this makes me consider going for all-white on both walls and ceiling as opposed to a pale shade of taupe with pinks, which is what I've had in mind for a while..

Challenge of the Cheminée
I have never lit a fire in a fireplace.En fait, I don't know how to; but I know I'd want to come back one day after a long and exhasting riding session, walk into my warm living room, take off my boots by the fire and just lay down there watching the flames.The good news is: I have three fireplaces in my living/dining roomsThe bad news is: only 1 of them works, and it's the one in the (currently) dining area.
