Omg....gobsmacked. What a treasure!!

Bathroom: I would paint the walls a rich chocolate brown. Although I love grey, I just don't see it in that space. Find a really crisp white (maybe waffle texture) shower curtain. A white shower curtain is quite a large area when closed and will help keep the space from feeling dark. White ceiling. Clean up the tiles. Don't see the window, but maybe a bamboo blind, various browns, with white painted window trim. What's on the floor? Maybe a fun bath mat...brown, black and white? Brown, white and an accent color?

Living room: Tough when you are stuck with a color you're not into, but in the case of the blue carpet, it seems you have to embrace it! A grey would be nice here on that wall. Tie the grey and blue together with accessories of bright blue, grey and an accent color-bright yellow, turquoise, periwinkle/purple...to add pops of color. Keep the basic furniture neutral. Another idea is to lay an inexpensive cotton rug in the center of the carpeting with muted shades of cream or grey, with hints of the blue. Don't love rugs on carpeting but it can help to neutralize the blue somewhat. Try Overstock.com. Show us the before and after!
