Decorating

[grindieloe]

Just wanted to say thanks for the advice!  I do already  have some HP pillows 
(blue) and even a throw.  I didn't think to paint the ceiling to mirror the sky (like 
the Great Hall), but that is a GREAT IDEA!, and of course, there will certainly 
be no archways and no veils!!!
