if it's not about mcr, it's probably about my house

these seem to be my two topics of choice, lately.

so with mcr out of the way, let's get back to HOUSE TALK. specifically paint colors.

i've been really happy with all the paint choices i made for my house (especially my bedroom, nnnngh RED). all except for the office/guest room. i had a vision early on of what i wanted: buttercream yellow walls with white and black accents. this is the room where most of my art will get hung, and i wanted the black frames with white mattes to really pop against the lighter backdrop. but then when the time came to paint, i started having second and then third thoughts. the yellow started to feel blah-ish, dated, and i was suddenly leaning toward a crisp grey, something that looked a bit sharper and current. but i had already chosen grey for the hallway and i really didn't want to change that. it works as a great neutral to lead into all the other rooms. and even picking a different shade of grey felt too... grey. too depressing. i wanted color! i am a fan of color (there are no beige's in my house; they are simply not allowed). so i stuck with my first instinct and painted it buttercream.
