I love natural woods--my own kitchen is done almost entirely in pale oak (cabinets and hardwood floor) with pale green walls and a malachite-green Silestone countertop. The rest of my teeny condo is accented with honey-colored oak (all of my cabinets and stair railings).
I'm not nearly as handy as you are, though. I'll paint and/or varnish if I have to, but a chore rather than a pleasure.
> oh and apropos of nothing, I have the next chapter of KmO about 80% done...
Oooh! Yay!
I wasn't going to push, because I know how it is trying to write when there's no inspiration, but I'll be very happy to get the chance to see what happens next. (Love your Raymond Chandler quote icon, BTW!)
I haven't been writing lately, other than what's required for work--the events of this summer really silenced the voices in my head, and they haven't really come back yet. I've opened the files for my work-in-progress a few times out of a sense of obligation (I'm a writer, therefore I should be writig!) but realized I hate everything I've written for this first draft, and so have closed the files again, waiting for another time.
