Otherwise most wall colors are nice and neutral, nice flooring, french doors, especially like the blue bath with the tilework and tub wall of windows, also like the wood and stone outside seating area. The rest of the personal decorating throughout the home is all a little overwhelming.Bettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11771274057090968119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1518721847478228439.post-20989217516672483722011-06-26T12:57:12.215-05:002011-06-26T12:57:12.215-05:00Both homes have nice curb appeal however I was not...Both homes have nice curb appeal however I was not feeling the interiors on either...so funny your sultan comment about the sofas:) Ditto the shiny satin sheets, yuck!
