I am a modern/traditional touches kind of gal, so I like black and white photos of landscapes, clean lines, coordinated pieces, like photo boxes and magazine organizers that are tan, white and black, to hide the clutter, and I would love to have plants in my home, but I can't seem to keep them alive. -Abbie.Abbiehttp://www.organizing-life.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2400481463048237212.post-28313990490158810702009-07-12T15:47:28.554-04:002009-07-12T15:47:28.554-04:00In our home, we would add metal items to the glass...In our home, we would add metal items to the glass items – stainless steel or brushed aluminum vases, accents on light fixtures, that kind of thing.<br /><br />Also, we love clocks!<br /><br />I hadn't really thought about using chalkboards throughout the house before, and I love that idea as well!Mandi @ Simple Nesthttp://simplenest.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2400481463048237212.post-26010376670987591112009-07-11T21:42:13.597-04:002009-07-11T21:42:13.597-04:00You have a great list!
