I believe I even have some blueberries lurking in the 'fridge... This was a good post. You know, I've been on the fence about Gary and Resto. On one hand I think the store needed a change and I give him a lot of credit for going way out there and retailing things that no one else is (other than a salvage yard), and insisting on quality when other retailers are looking to cut corners. I do hope he continues carrying quality furnishings. On the other hand, I find myself, like you, craving color. I've about had enough of the dark, dank castle look. It remains to be seen if he will keep RH current. I wonder if he senses the change in the air...
