MAKE MINE RED!

I love the color red....
Infact how often have you heard me say that it's
"My Signature Color"....
My car is red......my furniture.....my clothes and even my High Tops.....
Yes.....an almost 60 year old grandmother who wears red high top sneakers...
But I didn't think you would want to see my shoes so......Knowing you all love decorating
And hoping that most of you like the color red........
Here is a little decorating
showcasing the color RED!!

I had to start with my favorite thing red....
Tartan Plaid....
As soon as I inherit FIL's orange Naugahyde bar stools..
This is what I'm doing to them....



Red with a View.....

Another red favorite....
The ever popular Lobster..........

Be prepared to see lots of red check....
Lovin the red checks.

Great red painted table lamp...

Red Toile.....
When I was looking for pictures and "Googled"
Red Toile....
I laughed out loud since it seemed every other picture was of our blogging friend
Penny of
http://www.thecomfortsofhome.blogspot.com/
She "is" the Queen of Red Toile!!

Who couldn't resist a red pantry door.....

Or how about red stairs?

I fell in love with this room....
And not just because I have an old typewriter just like this one....

Red Monograms....

You've seen this great kitchen in a past post of mine....

Even the tiniest kitchen has spunk when it's in red....

Someday I will own a Big Red Hutch....
To house my milk glass collection.
Nothing looks nicer then bright white on red....
Nah..........
For you people that hate red.....On this one I have to agree....
A bit of overkill...

This is better........

Great photo's....
Thanks to Country Living Magazine....
Love that bench at the foot of the bed....and the straw bag hanging from the foot board.
More Checks!!
And I am not into Chandeliers but this one reminds me of Paris....
So it has to be a good thing.....
How nice to have a chair in a luxurious bathroom....
My bathroom couldn't even hold an
upholstered pin cushion....
Nice bed as Miss "B" would say.....

See what I mean about red checks....
Isn't the Big Black "R" a nice touch................

Red Chairs.

Oh My!!!!!!!!!!
Red Check carpet...

Red.........
White.

And Blue.........
I also love flags.....
And you can't have our flag without
RED....
So..
Hooray for the color RED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And to see an actual real room done up all in red and checks....
Visit a real life blogging friend who just re-did her breakfast room...
You will agree that she did a fabulous job....

Hello - how are you? I love red too! You sure worked hard on this.

My favorite is the kitchen with the red cabinets. I've never seen that before.

Used to be in Boston - everyone had a red front door.

The color of red is life - and what gives us life is well - can I say blood which is red - without sounding to weird?

No?

Oops - too late. lol

Nice red and whites here.

That was good! I have a red car too..helps me find it in the parking lot!
We just did our new side door red, and as soon as the temperature will allow it, the front is being replaced and painted red..
I did the side first to see if we liked it, and we did!
Don't forget the party on the 16th..you are not one to miss out on a party!
And then we will make zeppole for you the 19th..St. Joseph's Day...fair and balanced..:)
Hope the ricotta goes on sale soon!

Red bonds us together! Even though I don't have red high tops, I do have a red car and red touches all over my house. You found some great pictures to share!! Have a great weekend - do you have anything special planned? Mike will be home to go to the regional basketball games of the high school where he teaches; so we will probably tag along. It's always fun to meet his students and their parents. They always call him Dr. S---. That always throws me for a loop - like who are they talking to???? He's just Mike to us. Take care, Sally

I love red too! Great collection of red photos. I wanted to re-do our guest room just like that room with the red and white checked twin beds. I think I saw that in the Pottery Barn catalog and when I went to go order the bedding it was all sold out!

You make me see RED... and I love it! One day I may get the nerve to de-beige myself.

Soup was wonderful! Even better the second day.

I love red too, Sue, and have lots of it in my kitchen, dining and living rooms. It has so much life and is cheerful during the grey winter months. Love your selection of photos.

I'm not bold enough to use red in decorating but relish with delight those that can.

Oh Sue, I love red too. I have a little of it in almost every room. It's so warm and inviting. What I noticed about your post is that the rooms I like best are JUST red and white. Love those checks!!!

Lovin that red Sue, since I got my red kitchen aid mixer I have been adding red stuff to my kitchen, but my favorite color of all time is purple, i don't think it works as well in all these different rooms, and there is no way hubby would go for a purple family room or purple den, although we did have a purple boudoir in one of previous houses!

I love the color red but presently I have very little of it in my home. When I redecorate I'm going to make sure I use it as an accent color. I really like the white kitchen with all the red accents.

PS I have a photo of that same stone in St. Paul's! It is the last photo in this two year old post I did about GZ and the Fireman's memorial;!

Daughter got a call on Wednesday at 4:00 a.m. from our home town Police Force..... It seems the "Big Boss" called them after seeing women in his closet and a dead man hanging from his Ceiling Fan.... Only Problem.......He doesn't have any ceiling fans in his house... Daughter...... having to make the decision what to do with him.....since we were home in Georgia sound asleep....and unable to hear even a bomb go off... Had the police take him to the local hospital...... Now the BB is heading towards 90 in a few months.... He lives alone and still drives.... We have been trying to get him into an Assisted Living Home for the past three years... He refused to budge.... He refused to let anyone into the house.. We also tried to get him to give up his license....to no avail.... The sad part is we could not get anyone to assist us... His doctor told us years ago that he was a grown man and we couldn't tell him what to do.... So back to the ER this Wednesday he was checked ...

TIME OUT..........................

In the best interest of my left hand I find it necessary to take a short break from blogging.......that nasty staph infection has refused to go away and with no signs of it improving I need to stop using the computer......every time I go online to type the finger resembles W.C. Fields nose.....not a good thing.....I hope I can return soon and catch up with my Weekends in Paris....but in the meantime...remember.....Don't garden without gloves!! See you all soon.....
