I had to go back and look! I do the same thing. Reject the first idea and eventually come back to it...or some modification of it. It looks lovely and the dark light of the checkerboard really does make a difference. As usual, great choice.

I'm glad you didn't forget about Checkers Tonight Dearie because it is just beautiful. The storm we had yesterday is moving a bit south and will probably hit Iowa and Chicago so you might not get any snow from it, so I'm glad you enjoyed the snow you got on Christmas Day. We have a total of 12" now. Nothing like last year, but it is also -9°F this AM.
