Well Margaret you most likely wouldn't like my house then. We have
a middle blue kitchen with white cupboards and floor. A plaid (navy
and deep green/tan) wallpapered 2 pc bath off the kitchen hall.
Aside from kitchen and baths all floors are hardwood with area
carpets (mostly a solid colour)
A Tan/beige ragged (top) and striped(lower half - like wainscotting. .
. but all done with paint) dining room and a tan living room both have
a tanny rose area capet. Upstairs we have a rose painted and
wallpapered guest room, master is blue wallpaper, daughter is
shades of blue sponged over pale blue and sons is deep green with
a paler shade ragged over. Upstairs bath is navy blue and white.
Basement has a Rec room with a mossy green carpet and pale
peach coloured walls with a peach and green wallpapered bath next
to it.
I can put deeper coloured wallpaper on easier than I can the deep
coloured paint :)) Obviously my children are not as colour
challenged as I am.
