Oooh - a little harsh I feel!!
Whoever wrote that has clearly never been into our Post Office!
I have to hold my hand up to the "magnolia" thing though. With the exception of 2 rooms our house is decorated in various shades of 'cream' Those shades have, however, been very carefully chosen following hours of deliberation - and the differences are amazing. It does have the benefit that the kids can swap bedrooms at will, and frequently do, without much work.
I am good at choosing the perfect shade of cream for the room and then the interior design bit kicks in with the accessories which are easier to change when you get bored and fancy a change.
I am proud to say I have one of the very few 9 yr old daughters in this country who does not have either a pink or a lilac bedroom
. Yes, it has cream walls and carpet but the rest is red and mostly hearts.
