Our walls The previous owners thought it would be awesome to paint the open-plan living area walls blue and purple and then to match them with blue, purple and silver striped curtains. I feel like I am walking into a nightmare circus tent every morning. In the lounge they thought a mustard feature wall would also be pretty - to go with some red and gold striped curtains. It is all just horrible and it makes our home so dark and makes everything look so small.

It has taken us a year to save up for a house-wide professional paint job and it starts on Thursday! I. CAN'T. WAIT! We are going latte tones with off-white accents. Next project is the candy-striped curtain replacement.

Other than the indoor rainbow nightmare, we love our home
