Maybe the walls and roman shades and throw pillows -but NOT the chairs and couch too! I think you need a place for the eye to rest.

I couldn't do it justice - in fact, even to my own ears it sounded horrid. I think it's a great solution for a small space. As you say, though, could have been a bit of an experiment for him - and being "in the trade" he might not have felt he was making such a long term commitment.Mrs. Blandingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06402207636108999627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34961211.post-60130351601636330312007-08-27T10:47:00.000-04:002007-08-27T10:47:00.000-04:00Ronda- He was such a talent!Ronda- He was such a talent!The Peak of Chichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02811933436075145329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34961211.post-47350926300662973392007-08-27T10:37:00.000-04:002007-08-27T10:37:00.000-04:00I love this look in a room and Greg Jordan's apart...I love this look in a room and Greg Jordan's apartment was just divine.ALL THE BESThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11061884142057169005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34961211.post-21351362580164397482007-08-27T10:36:00.000-04:002007-08-27T10:36:00.000-04:00Brilliant- Good point.
