Literally the first thing my partner and I did before we moved into our place was paint a large chunk of the greige walls in our house bright colours/add wallpaper 😂 no minimalism here!!!!

yah! after a life in beige rentals, when we finally managed to purchase a place (at the time, actually cheaper than renting) the first thing we did - paint! walls of green, yellow, blue, teal, cantaloupe (not a funny name, had paint guy "shoot" the computer color mixer scanner at a slice cantaloupe)

When I moved into my first apartment after college, me and my roomie immediately painted our rooms in the brightest colors we could find - I made mine bright red, and she made hers bright blue, it was fun

(We technically weren’t *supposed* to, but the walls were grimy and fugly so we did anyway)

I wish I could repaint the walls to have funky colors :/
Good think my stuff makes the room look like a homemade colorful thrift store.

I made a Pinterist board for each room of our house, and then sat down with a "color consultant" to help us pick paint.

She was 😱. "You don't want it to look like the CIRCUS!" Lady, I am POINTING AT WHAT I WANT.

She picked a decent muted green for the unifying color upstairs and I did the rest.

(The pic above is shortly after we move in and doesn't have any of our art hung; we've rearranged some and swapped the red/gold rug for a teal/green one, but still, color lady would never. Her green choice was good though.

One of the main things that drew me to our house was that the living room and entryway are a vivid orange.

That's what I also plan to do whenever I move to a new house. Fuck greige!
