Hilary Farr and Joanna Gaines have not been here

Jul 31, 2019

From Chip and Joanna’s ‘Fixer Upper’ to Hilary Farr of ‘Love it or list it,’ I’ve noticed one thing interior designers on HGTV have in common. Lots of white and neutral wall colors. Pops of color are added with throw pillows, rugs and wall decor.

Every single time I think I’ll go a light neutral color on my walls, I ditch that fleeting thought almost as soon as it ebbs into my head. And still, I’ve yet to be approached for my own show. 😉

If interior colors chosen are a reflection of the decorator’s personality, then I’m dark. So very dark…

The vibrating chartreuse green color in my laundry room is now… black. Limousine Leather to be exact. While I probably should’ve chosen a color closer to the butterfly I captured resting on a plant, I simply didn’t.

When I’m 100% sure I’m going to list this place, it’s gonna take at least 25 gallons of boring ole’ taupe to cover everything I’ve done here. In the meantime, I figure I’ll just let my dark, bad self just keep painting the walls whatever color suits me when the brush reaches my hand.
