IF the sellers wouls update it a bit -- maybe they should check sites like the Cote de Texas blog -- and let Joni work her design magic! LOL! Shades of silvery, grays and neutrals (ivory,cream, khaki) of all sorts, lots of textures like grasscloth on the walls; sisal on the floors; change the hardware to silver or bronze -- and re-do the backsplash and sink! What a HUGE change that would make!<BR/><BR/>Jan at Rosemary Cottage (LOVE your blog!)Teacatshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06899566893360863672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5874907618205583057.post-54107722429089109562009-01-28T11:27:00.000-08:002009-01-28T11:27:00.000-08:00The wallpaper is fine but the roosters on the sink...The wallpaper is fine but the roosters on the sink have got to go and the red ceiling and gold walls are not the right shade it is over kill.
