    Oh, I'm seeing green and it's partly due to envy over the swan. Really though, you are pulling a very pretty and springy feeling look together. Can't wait to see future pictures.

    Looks like you might be leaning towards St. Patrick's Day. I'm still working on Valentines day here. Green is always a soft soothing color to me.

    Very pretty and fresh Marty. I love that swan! My friend had a wood one once that I always liked. Cant wait to see it finished. I'd love it if you linked this to my new linky party, "What We've Accomplished Wednesdays." It is live right now.

    Have a great week!

    I really like the green. You're bringing in the springtime. Have you thought of mixing it with your pretty coral-orange pillows? I'll bet it would look great.
