I'm going to sign up ......pretty sure I can do this ...I'll call myself intermediate but that might be a stretch:) I would love something yellow although the colour is not terribly important.

I would like something in red (with or without cream) if for the kitchen (apple theme); either sage and/or burgundy and/or peach for other rooms. Thanks!
