I just add about 10-13 liter of extra water when dyeing. No problems so far with my large linen and hemp sheets. xkLaPouyettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06793966763489506817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9149138383499703514.post-8315589459454745522013-11-10T06:32:00.390-08:002013-11-10T06:32:00.390-08:00First - the first image reflects best my personal ...First - the first image reflects best my personal style/taste. Also the last image because of its kind of simplicity, but without the shutters on each side of the cow painting (which I love!) and I would like to see chairs covered in natural colored linen/hemp to "soften" the whole look (actually these chair seats are somewhat too low, don't you think?).<br />Such an interesting and informative post again, Cindy.<br />I must say that I have not changed my style over decades all that much. Sometimes I'm going a little bit "over the top" in decorating, but only for a few days/weeks or so. And then back to my theme: "Less is more"....and "keep it simple"....but all with quality and certainly with objects one loves and like to see every day, lifting up our daily life.<br />Have a lovely Sunday afternoon,<br />xxxkarinLaPouyettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06793966763489506817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9149138383499703514.post-48909548681042027922013-11-06T19:36:10.040-08:002013-11-06T19:36:10.040-08:00I love those cows!I love those cows!Splenderosahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06421992667097947469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9149138383499703514.post-25803596372719740742013-11-06T09:13:42.529-08:002013-11-06T09:13:42.529-08:00What an interesting post! You are absolutely right...What an interesting post! You are absolutely right - style is fluid and encompasses everything. It's surprising how we are influenced by images and travel, sometimes without realising! I particularly like the hallway with the gorgeous collection of turquoise glass. I wonder if a little turquoise will now find its way into my home!!miss bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00210603421768133667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9149138383499703514.post-32194891196356582602013-11-05T10:18:36.071-08:002013-11-05T10:18:36.071-08:00Great post.

My design style? I think you will be afraid you asked...but it certainly something to ponder. You raise a good point, our style does change. Back in the day I could not get enough of big floral English chintz...and now I wince. Our travels have sealed the deal on eclecticism...we have it in spades. As always, I love your style Cindy... xxJeanne Henriqueshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07986759909478180763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9149138383499703514.post-49879671571780796262013-11-04T13:59:02.642-08:002013-11-04T13:59:02.642-08:00So much wisdom!

Your home could be a creative outlet as well as a comfort or safe haven. I can relate to almost something in all of your photos as I have nick named my home " my French, costal, Asian, ranch ".
