Your black window has been the talk of blogland and now it may stay white...<br />I'd leave it white, see if you love it and paint it black later if you decide to. Just my two cents.

But that hardware is to die for...is there any way to install it as is, and then paint it black later? Or does it have to be painted first? I'm guessing the latter, which is why you are asking.

Not sure that the computer re-loaded me back to my actual departure - cause I didn't see the kitchen floor that you don't like and I didn't see anything on the cruise that you were taking. Maybe you could direct me (i.e the dates?) But I have to tell you that I have laughed until tears came and sobbed over many of the tender moments. You do have a gift. No matter how John may needle you about the purpose/value of the blog.....it has value. You are a truly unique person. I do have to tell you that because of your blog ...last October I signed up for a trip in April and I am anticipating my first time in Paris. However, I was suddenly given an opportunity to work in Vienna for 6 weeks (the first time I have travelled to Europe....which I just finished. I will see what happens in Paris....but I think Vienna will be MY first love.

I decided to go to bed yesterday evening rather than reading the 103 mails waiting for me! <br />The window is gorgeous and even sexier than my own window!<br />Now, about the colour: I love the white with the black "cremone" (ni idea how it's called in English- too lazy to check). But I also thought (and John is going to hate me there) that sometimes in France, those cremone are actually a very dark metallic grey. It's gorgeous : it has a patina that makes the shade varies. I'm sure you can do that with your fairy hands. And then, you can paint the window black and still see the "cremone".<br /><br />By the way, as mentionned above, that cremone makes me think of the doorknob in Alice, which makes me love the window even more.<br /><br />I can email you pictures of dark grey cremones if you need some.<br /><br />XOXO,<br />MagaliMagali@TheLittleWhiteHousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13787605249681670341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7186929171672526984.post-52050775984030319842014-03-01T02:01:14.949-08:002014-03-01T02:01:14.949-08:00Bonjour, Hi, Kalimera, Buongiorno, etc..!!!

How ludicrous! COMMENT RIDICULE!! (In caps, to make sure they heard it!). And since we're speaking en français, I think your handle is the spitting image of Lumière of Beauty and the Beast!<br /><br />Please don't paint this gorgeous window black, for if you do, your mother will say...(remember THAT, from 'Down by the Bay'? For if you do, then, kudos to you for actually remembering it!). Ahem...for if you do, you will a) lose that beautiful black patina on the handle, b) be out a couple of hundred bucks, for doing so, and c) really feel black when you realize you've made a mistake. Not sexy, at all.<br /><br />Hope you do the right thing. Time may be awastin', but your pocket book doesn't have to!<br /><br />xoxo<br />PoppyPoppyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08980323586402386609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7186929171672526984.post-68895736971959628262014-03-01T00:58:29.337-08:002014-03-01T00:58:29.337-08:00Hi Suzan!!!!

I've sent you an email of the picture of the character.<br /><br />I love the new window. I'd put it up and let it grow on you as to what you want to do. I would do it two toned.
