We all agree that it already has fantastic bones, so brava for that. Suzanne says that she would not worry too much about the door, and you can leave it as is instead of painting it a particularly strong color. As far as the little telephone table, the cute little bench with the navy upholstery, we suggest putting something over it. Possibly a mirror, but if you go that route, be sure to note what exactly it is you are reflecting. If it\\u2019s the kitchen, we may want to opt for something else.\\nIf you aren\\u2019t feeling the chandelier, don\\u2019t worry about tossing it! Remember, someone\\u2019s trash is someone else's treasure.\\nWe love the black wall, and you can paint it black or just change it to a black outlet so it disappears. In that outlet, you can plug in a pair of lamps.\\nDon't underestimate the power of having a piece of art in the kitchen. That's kind of fun. But, Suzanne also thinks the open shelves would be good there.\\nThanks so much, and let us know how it goes!"
