  4. Oh my, ive worked with properties since 2001, i have always had the strong view that dark hallways are a big “NO NO” but Mable’s House Chalk-bored picture looks beautiful, in all of my stubborn years living i may possibly accept this i could potentially be wrong on this one occasion ;) thanks for the link to the blog too, i shall be checking back, Great post, great selection.
