The teal is for an accent wall that is going to be very eyecatching and be a focal point for a lot of great art to hang up.

IMHO sad beige moms have been through a lot of trauma, repeatedly over decades. I surmise that they are tired and depressed and just trying to survive without totally falling apart because so many are depending on them. Simplifying down to black, white, gray, and beige makes life a little easier to deal with and fewer choices during a season of life when everything is so overwhelming. It’s hard to witness people who were once vibrant and flourishing gradually lose their joie de vie (joy of life)😢

I mean I honestly get him (I don’t get not allowing you to paint your own room through)- I have adhd which often comes along with sensory processing disorder which I also have, bright colours send me straight into sensory overload. It’s too much stimuli for my brain to handle, I need neutral colours to be around especially in my own home, otherwise I’d constantly be in a state of sensory overload which I don’t think those who haven’t experienced it understand how debilitating sensory overload is. Sometimes people who reject bright colours aren’t doing it to fit an “aesthetic”, some are doing it to not get migraines every two seconds and constantly having your senses overwhelmed. But I don’t understand not allowing you to paint your own room, that’s your own space and you should be able to take whatever creative liberties you want.

Parents need to under that their house is also their children's home too. If you decide to bring children into your home then you need to be willing to share your home with them. I love the quote in a movie that said "our house is a place of free expression" our children need to be able to express themselves and what they like/enjoy in their home just as much as the parents. Also kids need it for proper development. A sterile/colorless/bland home doesn't stimulate their brains as much as others. And your brain doesn't develop properly without adequate stimulation

I would say a lot of the Millennials who do the beige and neutral color schemes are reacting to the style they were raised with as well. Keep in mind, many Millennials hated the bright neons and clashing patterns of the 90s because it felt too overwhelming to them so they overcorrected. I'm not saying I agree with it, I think kids need color, but it's a reaction all the same. And then the person above will have children who rebel and only decorate their homes with gray and white and the cycle unfortunately continues.

It’s so annoying when people try to make you adhere to the trauma they refuse to work on. I’ve cut ties with some very toxic people over that. Like I had my first dogs chain collar hung on my wall as a keepsake and a girl that came over a lot would always try and hint that I should take it down bc “chains… uhh bring back bad memories”. I understand having trauma bc I’ve dealt with my fair share of it myself but I handled my shit and got over it because like I told her I’m not responsible for what happened to you and you’re responsible for understanding that you shouldn’t push your problems onto others. I offered her the number of the counseling agency that I went to for my trauma and she got offended and started screaming at me that she wasn’t crazy and didn’t need therapy. I told her to gtfo and never acknowledged her existence again lol

I love how she's shamelessly living her truth but she's still thoughtful enough to provide sunglasses for guests. :)

My mom was a ‘blue’ mom. Her favorite color was blue, but the Kitchen was a life of its own. Her fridge was a focal point of color and creativity. So SOOO many paintings, projects, little notes and - as I grew older and traveled - quirky magnets filled the space over the years I grew up. whenever Christmas cards would come, they would get tapped to the under-ledge of the cabinets to display. She was precious of what went up on her walls in the rest of the house, but the kitchen, which was central and seen by all because of the layout of our home, was the display chamber of what her family meant to her. Years later, when I was at a painting event with a friend, we were recreating a Turkey the instructor was showing. This was one of those places where you can make whatever you want - follow the instructor, experiment with the lesson, or go your own path. I followed the form, but specifically created a palette of blues and purples I knew would compliment my mom’s walls. I won’t lie, if there’s one thing I’ve been able to do over the years, it’s grasp the color wheel and know how to blend to create the shades I want. The end result has graced the central wall of Mom’s dining room every November for Thanksgiving since she first saw it when I brought it home :-) Just a little call back to wanting to display her pride in family mixed with my grown-up respect of her personal decorating style.

I go through phases. For a while my room might have floral decor everywhere and then I get tired of it, so I pack it up and bust out the space decor or the hero decor. Maybe some new decor that I've gotten fixated on. Whatever brings me happiness. The rest of the house is rustic and farmhouse because I do share that taste with my mother who I take care of. The only thing we don't agree on is when I started decorating my house I had to have accent walls and colored walls. I grew up with white walls cause that was the cheapest to color to buy at the old department store we used to shop at. When I started working at Lowe's I began to collect mistints in tans, blues, and grays for my house. She still prefers white walls but I compromise and pick neutrals for the majority of the house. I get to enjoy the black accent wall in my room.

You know, I am pretty minimalist when it comes to my taste in house design and decoration. I'm not a huge fan of bright colours and tend towards more pastelle colour and I like browns, greys, shades of black and white and beiges. House plants add a nice touch of colour that isn't too much for my tastes in inner design, and incorporating hardwood and brick is also nice for my kind of aesthetic, so I'm not entirely aligned with the sad beige moms, but I like their aesthetic too to a degree. But I know for damn sure that if I ever have kids, that fingerpainting is going straight up on the walls, framed. The fridge is for important appointments and grocery lists, but the walls are for the art that my children make. I will never in my life quell the artistic side of my children and I will encourage them to paint, draw, sculpt and whatever else they want to do. My children may be hypothetical, but my love for them is real, and my love for them will forever be greater than my love for any aesthetic of mine

Enemas were also really big a decade ago in the modelling scene, possible still are. They’re a quick way to drop weight because they empty your bowels and a lot of models would do it before fashion week as a way to basically empty themselves. They were also very popular in the ED community the last time I was viewing that content. Same reasons.

My condo was remodeled by a Sad Grey designer before I bought it. I felt like I was in a refrigerator. I didn't have the patience to repaint, so I moved in with a bunch of cherry wood, olive and sage green, lovely warm reds, etc. My kitchen has blue butterflies on the wall and cabinets, with yellow towels and rugs, and my guest bathroom is full of birds and bright orange. My bedroom is mostly white, but I have a bright yellow duvet and a cottagecore quilt on the bed. No sadbeige here!

Every single room in my house except for my bedroom was painted light gray by the people who flipped it before I bought it, and the bedroom is a darker shade of gray. When the realtor showed me the house, all I could think of was “WOW this entire house is a huge blank canvas for bright, funky decor!”, and that’s exactly what I have everywhere now. I even put privacy film on the east & west windows that makes rainbows all over the walls when the sun shines on them. 😂😂😂

Cherry wood is the besstt. Yes, it's soft and rather impractical, but it's *so pretty!*

I'm in the exact situation as you!! I can't afford to paint or change my grey ass floors but I've gone hard on colour and it's made me forget about the grey that's still there. Lots of teak, vintage, yellow, red, warm colours, etc.

@@Rhaifha all of my cherry wood is vintage, too (I'm all about secondhand treasures). So any nicks and dings just add character. :-)

You can put "but it's not enough" with a tone drop at the end of any monologue and it will make me grab my chest like I'm Caesar getting assassinated
