Maura! There you are! I have been wondering where you were. I guess you squeezed in while I was typing my other post. I would have had it up sooner but my favorite soap is on and I was typing during the commercials.

I guess dark hardwood floors would be okay just as long as some brightly colored throw rugs are put down. I like things bright and cheerful. A wood burning stove, huh? I haven't seen one of those since I was a kid on my grandparents' farm.

And the scented candles sound nice too. Maybe a tropical scent or something flowery.

A light shade of blue sounds nice as far as the jacket. Blue is a relaxing color for me and would be helpful keeping me calm while waiting for VV2. And as far as the wine rack, stock it with both red and white so my guests will have a choice.
