I’ve gotten lots of inspiration from your design ideas. I have a question for you about my out-of-date 80’s home that I’m hoping you have time to answer. I’d love to update my 80’s oak cabinets and was thinking of painting them white. Same with the fireplace mantel in the adjoining family room. </pre><br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiy99hhphkPo5KvUMx-DoO0IStfPkgqabVl6jvEMWKndjTuW-TLVXgkoa4e_LP84S-nvlsydRlpvwhptEdqCUihUZeQ_ydmwbz_ilt5W3Q26wN3zuSWwfWYGobJmh51hV3ZoAijyTIhmJO_/s1600/rachel+devine3.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiy99hhphkPo5KvUMx-DoO0IStfPkgqabVl6jvEMWKndjTuW-TLVXgkoa4e_LP84S-nvlsydRlpvwhptEdqCUihUZeQ_ydmwbz_ilt5W3Q26wN3zuSWwfWYGobJmh51hV3ZoAijyTIhmJO_/s1600/rachel+devine3.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPJeaVCz5yqQGkfGNnigztcVuVx5rRL5YKXYVQG08CIoYYQI3Llsb_9eciseztSmB7TP5TuH7HVW8g4LlqYoHUqqEH3HoL5ZKuJXrK36Mg_QXMQY6-7ezIedm325UYLx1hfnGSAIHO2RiO/s1600/rachel+devine+1.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="305" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPJeaVCz5yqQGkfGNnigztcVuVx5rRL5YKXYVQG08CIoYYQI3Llsb_9eciseztSmB7TP5TuH7HVW8g4LlqYoHUqqEH3HoL5ZKuJXrK36Mg_QXMQY6-7ezIedm325UYLx1hfnGSAIHO2RiO/s1600/rachel+devine+1.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrljTaTeVI9B40vtWhsgnAu0GIMH5Fz4Gfq-Gw8ThXCNszeBQaY1WLj-0RDbx4yX8Y24TvaTVyR5Wr6ThLxUZx4xZqtf4q9LdEV5vRihHkAcR9jaEjgsKWNHRi376JmAIWzmUyaSbCIZew/s1600/rachel+devine2.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="302" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrljTaTeVI9B40vtWhsgnAu0GIMH5Fz4Gfq-Gw8ThXCNszeBQaY1WLj-0RDbx4yX8Y24TvaTVyR5Wr6ThLxUZx4xZqtf4q9LdEV5vRihHkAcR9jaEjgsKWNHRi376JmAIWzmUyaSbCIZew/s1600/rachel+devine2.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><br /><pre style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: 'Segoe UI', 'Segoe UI Web Regular', 'Segoe UI Symbol', 'Helvetica Neue', 'BBAlpha Sans', 'S60 Sans', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15.3333330154419px; line-height: 21.3000011444092px; white-space: normal;"></pre><br /><pre style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: 'Segoe UI', 'Segoe UI Web Regular', 'Segoe UI Symbol', 'Helvetica Neue', 'BBAlpha Sans', 'S60 Sans', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15.3333330154419px; line-height: 21.3000011444092px; white-space: normal;">But I like having stained wood trim in these rooms!

Two duvets, two down comforters within - two layers of softness - awwwwww. Double layers of $$$ - hmmmm.   You can still get a lovely and luxurious look with a white duvet over a gray matelasse coverlet if your budget won't allow two down comforters and duvets.

They are not as warm and not as thick.  You can also get down alternatives for those who suffer from allergies.  Try to adapt the bedding to your own climate, but use at least one comforter in a duvet for the soft inviting look this room calls for...</span></pre><br /><pre style="background-color: white;
