Live in it for a while - you can always move furniture, rugs, cushions, ornaments, whatever. So what if jars don't look right after a bit. Move them. They will look fantastic somewhere else.<br /><br />My husband was always moving things around, I would come home from work and the whole living room was different! Used to drive me mad!<br /><br />But thankfully, he is older too, and hasn't got enough breath to be shifting things around now.<br /><br />Smaller things we often move - we find new (well, old, but not antique, if you know what I mean) and then have to find somewhere to put them. So things come, and things go.<br /><br />That's life!<br /><br />Enjoy your house, it looks fabulous!Gillyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00322140697547406511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1779328319254618990.post-54320704473944752032012-05-12T22:32:25.976-04:002012-05-12T22:32:25.976-04:00Hmm.

Don't worry about it, Debi, you're doing great. Seriously, you've got things looking about a 1000% better there---so just chill a little, okay?

I love the rust-colored scheme - it's rich and gorgeous! I think you need to take a long riding break! Relax, relax!

And if you take your time and think about things I'm sure it will all work out and if it doesn't it's not that big a deal you can always move a mason jar or a picture. Relax, enjoy the house and enjoy decorating and painting. Everything has a way of working out.Grey Horse Mattershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05837575441967937196noreply@blogger.com
