people should just embrace jewel tones already if I see one more house entirely decorated in washed out neutral colours I’m gonna sue someone
hell is not a fiery demon pit its a never ending white and cream minimalist apartment, every time someone paints a room entirely white and adds a pale blue throw cushion for “a splash of colour” they are carrying out the work of the devil
Writing one’s home-nesting tendencies around resale value is itself playing into the Devil’s hands.
Paint your walls. Install catwalks for your kitties. Transform your home into a hobbit-hole or the innermost chambers of a D&D dungeon owned by a particularly campy lich. Grow a rainforest of plants in your southern-exposure window rooms or strangle your house in vines.
Horrify the Petunia Dursleys of the world by your mere existence, and be happy.
A while ago Facebook kept trying to advertise some kind of design magazine/website to me with an article “The Most Colour-Soaked Home We’ve Ever Seen” and I finally clicked the link and all the pictures were a bunch of white and off-white rooms with a couple of vases and books in bright colours scattered around. Like bitch you’re advertising this to me in Atlantic Canada we don’t do “splashes of colour” we let the floodgates open. Your lame-ass pallid designs have no power here.
When it’s foggy 350 days of the year, you’ve got to be able to pick out your own house from a distance.
,,,,Fuck
I almost started crying because?????? They’re so pretty??????????????
This is where I’m from! 😁 The first picture of the colourful row houses is called “Jellybean Row”. How cute is that, right?
I’m just ready for the next part of my life. But I also look back and see what it took to get here and I’m trying to savor this moment for what it is.
I want the house and the land and the garden and the dog and sleepy Sunday mornings in bed together with someone that genuinely loves me for me. I want it. So badly.
But I know that now is not my time and that it’ll happen when it’s supposed to happen. And I’m at peace with that. But that doesn’t make the longing any less.
