Thank you , I got it from the movie Somewhere in Time. Jane Seymour and Christopher Reeves starred in it. Her name was Elise, and I just fell in love with it.
Love my house that is. I do like to re-paint whenever I get inspired, since I can't tell from a painted board what a colour will look like in a room. My family swear that the rooms are getting smaller.
Speaking of family, I wanted to tell you that your "user name" is very nice. My daughter's name is Annelise so "Elise" caught my attention.

Ruby, Your house sounds wonderful.I would feel totally comfortable and pampered in your house.
is probably a partial description of my style. I am definitely not modern and not particularly contemperary although there are a few contemperary elements that are nice and clean looking. In the last H&H, Coby said that her personal style is "Martha" Nantucket and I would agree that I am in that category. We love to entertain in a relaxed, put-your-feet-up, if you feel like it, atmosphere. We have a lot of old oak and pine furniture, slip-covered sofas, and worn oriental carpets mixed with a bit of sisal and roman shades. Fiesta ware in the kitchen and dogs rule the house. But it works and is quite stylish with bold colours, and I do love floral pillows! Glad to hear that I am not the only "romantic" but I am a Taurus and earthy and elegant are the best description of my style.
Ruby on the East Coast.
