I feel sorry for people who just don't get that and have nothing better to do than to criticize. We've always been taught that if you have nothing good to say, then don't say anything at all. You have created such an elegant, warm, and peaceful home for your family; and I want to thank you for the graciousness you reveal to all of us who read your blog.

The red helps "pop" the neutral colors. Every room needs a pop of red or yellow.
