| Trivets on white wall. |
I was thinking my white walls were perfect for displaying the black trivets. Then I saw this picture and decided my walls needed a little color. After a few weeks of searching for the perfect color, I finally settled on a Home Depot paint called "Dapper Tan" and spent a couple of days painting the back hallway. I watched the walls get darker as I painted, but when I took a picture of my painting project and looked at it ...

... and looked, and looked... I couldn't see much difference. I started to wonder what all the fuss was about.

I took another picture. It still looks almost the same as it did before the paint. I guess I should stop taking pictures and get on with life.
For years I wanted my house to be perfect - just like a page from a magazine. Somewhere along the way I discovered 'perfect' changes every month, and takes up way to much of my time. I think now I'm just wanting comfortable, cute and quirky. Pleasant.
Do you ever find yourself working for perfect when what you really want is pleasant?

I l-o-v-e your trivets. I've got a couple but see that I've a ways to go to collect as many as you have :) Your wall color looks great behind them, too.
Oh my! My paternal grandmother and my folks collected these trivets. My brother must have inherited them because I never saw them again after their passing....
Yours are great!

Joy, I recently decided to quite trying to be perfect around the house. Guess this is why it needs a darn good clean before I leave on this huge trip in a couple of weeks. I was always painting, walls, furniture, garden stuff, anything standing still long enough. I can't paint walls anymore - shoulders are worn out - and paying professionals is getting expensive.
Perfect, no. Pleasant and comfortable, definitely yes!!
Great trivet collection and the wall color is lovely, good job.

I notice your Home Sweet Home sign has a touch of green. Maybe something green on the side of the sign would make bring it all together. I like the wall color.
I think your trivets are amazing! I only have one that I've had for a very long time. I don't see them around any more. Great collection.

What a fantastic collection of trivets!! I like the walls too!! I used to strive for perfect, but found that is just not possible. I need to do some painting too, but can not muster the energy to start!! I used to be able to do those things in a days time, now....I think it would take me forever! Happy VTT!
Love this display! Great idea!
