One of them was taking the red items (a giant red leather

Exchanging is so much fun! I am going to take my friend up on some organizing, and all I have to do is make her coffee! Thank you so much for the Follow!
Love the fabric for the new drapes. It is such a lovely color and will go with anything. I really like neutrals, then I can punch the color up with small accessories. Always wanting to change. Thanks so much for the visit and your nice comment about the lampshade. Hugs, Marty
