[carnation]

I can't believe I'm posting this! We're redoing our large square dining room--it has a chair rail 3' off the ground and I'd planned to put stencils around the rail. I was comparing paint chips and our 4th daughter insisted that the best combination was wine and blue. (Well, of course!) Then I found a carnation stencil..hey, I could have a Pi Phi dining room!

So of course, the college kids are insisting they should get red roses and white carnations or owls and pandas either in the dining room or in the playroom. Can anyone think of a tasteful way any of this might be accomplished?

LOL! I'd been planning to make it light green with fruit or flower stencils.
