Is paint good or evil?

I know I shouldn't be losing sleep over paint, but I am very concerned. If these pictures are of your house...oops...should I apologise? I probably won't.But, I am worried sick about what people are using paint for. Seriously, a 'feature wall' is getting a little out of control these days. I am not sure what's …

But, I am worried sick about what people are using paint for. Seriously, a ‘feature wall’ is getting a little out of control these days. I am not sure what’s going on with these rooms below, but they are hideous. Who said they looked ok?
Hmmmmm, the bright colours may look ok in a kid’s bedroom, but that’s about it. And even then I think you should ask me before you start a kids room. Haha!

Suede? Well been there, done that (shudder). The poor people that moved into our house 10 years ago (when we sueded everything) had to scrape the walls. Lucky them!

 
  
  
  
 
Easiest makeover in the world? Paint. But do it with some serious thought.
That’s all today. Back to selling houses 🙂

    The above comment, (Alicia) so funny….can't help but laugh. Each to their own I s'pose…don't want to make anyone feel bad if they like any of these pictures, but I have just never got feature walls. And those decorating shows that paint them, just drives me insane!!!! What is that, I swear I sit there and pick and say to hubby 'That is awful, I know I can do better'. I'm sure he knows now what I will say before I even say it!!! Hope you're having a great week…not long now 'till the weekend.
    Take care

    Oh there are some awful looking colours there.
    I remember a house we renovated, quite a few years back and we did the long central hallway in suede effects paint (luckily only one wall) – hate to think of the poor people who had to get that off when it was no longer trendy!!

    Ewww. Thanks for a good laugh. I figured while my eyes were burning, I may as well look a bit closer. Not only is the paint terrible in all of them, the decor is pretty bad too. Nothing co-ordinates with anything else. Suppose not everyone can be talented like us hahaha.
