Honestly Renee if you saw my house you wouldn't say that!!!
I'm pretty good with colors, but I'm horrible with accessorizing. I usually go overboard or not far enough. I can get an idea in my head, but I just can't bring it to fruition usually. I'll sit and look at a room in my house and have these great ideas, but it never comes out right. And then of course I'm really cheap when it comes to furniture.
Did I ever tell y'all about our color issue in the living room and dining room? I wanted it to be the same shade of tan that is throughout the foyer and family room, but Jeff found this color at HD called "Sandpoint." In my mind it is peach. Yes, peach. I kept telling him that just cause we were in Florida we were not in a retirement community!
He wanted to accessorize it with mint green!
I mean, holy pastels, right?
But I gave in on the wall color, because he was convinced it was beige. Well, our living room and dining room are sandpoint, aka PEACH!!! Then we painted the drop ceiling under the crown molding a brownish color, and under the chair rail in the dining room. I hate it. Seriously. So much so that I called him at work one day a few months ago just sobbing tht I hated the LR and DR because of that stupid color! I swear.
But our old family room furniture we moved into the LR and it's a dark sage green, with burguny and dark gold accents in the throw pillows. So he wanted to brighten up the room. I went with a silvery sage drapes in there and I seriously hate it!
But I don't want to buy NEW furniture for that room, cause it turns out that Bucky lays on that sofa all the time, and the cushion bottoms and backs of the DR furniture are almost the same colors. The two rooms are just separated by columns so they really have to go together. And I don't know how to recover the chair backs in the DR. If I could figure that out, I'd do it, and go out and buy a vrey inexpensive sofa and armchair for the LR. But I have so many other projects that I just don't want to spend the money on the LR and DR. Even though those are the first rooms you see when you walk in my house.
So I get really frustrated trying to do my own house. Maybe that's why I like working with ideas for other people!!!
At least it wasn't a BIG RED Regular, not washable, Crayon that he decided to draw a big circle in the living room so everyone could play DUCK DUCK GOOSE, or let's see, a flooded out cabinet bathroom sink because he wanted to let his ducky swim a couple of HOURS!
(I'm just kidding) I am really pushing personal responsibility with a touch of guilt on Beth when she makes messes. I tell her its not fair that you made this mess and I have to help clean it up. I know it will be years of therapy after I'm done raising her but oh well.
