We remodeled our home in 2004/05. Around that time, I saw a Candice Olson show in which she decorated an older home like ours in shades of navy blue.

As to color.....I am like the OP......we have a 100 year old home with original dark woodwork, flooring and such. I am a big fan of the taupes.......and I also love navy blue.

If the market ever comes back to something decent in the Chicago area.....we would like to put our building up for sale and buy a single family dwelling. Some realtors in the area seem to think it will be a minimum of three years, maybe more, before the housing market in this area comes back to anything reasonably decent. YIKES......I bet the insurance is totally ridiculous. Wishing you good real estate and insurance luck!!! I bet the wedding about zapped you out....LOL.
