I find that laughable, and I think it is hurting their listing. They let Barbie loose in that one bathroom. I find that laughable, and I think it is hurting their listing.

People are into bland and boring. I personally can't stand beige anywhere in my house and when we moved into our new place, I told my girls to pick any color for the walls but white. It's not allowed. That said, though, the house before had a little too much personality. It's hard to see past all that distraction to the bones of the house.

I did look at their website and they have really cute slipcovers in general. I actually found one for an ottoman I have. I have the most heinous looking chair and ottoman that are incredibly comfortable- which is why I haven't thrown them out. This site might help. I guess I typed too soon.

]]> Comment on “Dallas” and the Southfork Ranch by Krista http://hookedonhouses.wordpress.com/2008/08/15/dallas-and-the-southfork-ranch/#comment-6428 Krista Wed, 20 Aug 2008 15:43:43 +0000 http://hookedonhouses.wordpress.com/?p=3590#comment-6428 I'm a little bit of a Dallas freak myself. I vaguely remember it when I was young, but I became obsessed with it when it ran in syndication when I was a teenager. I went to Dallas a few years ago and I made sure that we stopped by Southfork. Last year I got the whole series on DVD and my boyfriend started to get worried because that was all that I wanted to watch and would even stay up late to watch another episode. I'm just glad to know that I'm not the only person out there who loves this show still. Maybe I will start a support group for Dallas lovers! I’m a little bit of a Dallas freak myself.

Plus, I'm a PR practitioner. That reference you made to my ilk was pretty funny. The pitching does get old. I found you via SoulMoxie. I'll be back for more dessert.

Who needs coffee after that?!? That third one isn't <i>too</i> bad, in comparison to the rest, but I'll agree with a previous commenter - it does resemble a futon now, and I don't think that's an improvement. I have a better idea than these - donate the OLD sofa to Goodwill and get thee to Ikea for something new. Woah! Who needs coffee after that?!?
