But I did do a lot there. <BR/><BR/>I loved being there in so many ways, if it had been well-managed we'd have stayed much longer. <BR/> <BR/>I expect that whoever painted the beams white was doing so to cover up an even worse crime... maybe because a previous person had painted them brilliant purple or emerald green or one of the other amazingly strong colours that the house was once painted in. That poor cottage had clearly been through it in terms of colour changes!Carolinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05635758748108011584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16297785.post-1134620377018366022005-12-15T04:19:00.000+00:002005-12-15T04:19:00.000+00:00The dining room is burnt orange to me.

The wall colour in the kitchen is definitely white.<BR/><BR/>As a room, the kitchen has an orange overtone.<BR/><BR/>Interesting...I just had an episode of deja vu in looking at the kitchen picture. Hm. Wonder where that came from?<BR/><BR/>As for the gardens...unkepmt!<BR/><BR/>I am not familiar with the whole story here. It looks like a nice place though, but painting the ceiling beams white? A crime!Wandering Coyotehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01478039463695542535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16297785.post-1134587570331971852005-12-14T19:12:00.000+00:002005-12-14T19:12:00.000+00:00Caro, I can never remember colour names.

The Landlord was like this for the first 7 years, put rent up with repair promises (again), died two weeks later. Then new owner wants to bulldoze down and we are paying a very high price for what we have or rather don't have. End of conversation ....
