That's the colour of the walls in our last house here! I should've taken that pic for the colour match I needed!:rofl:

That's about the colour of all the walls AND the carpet and the blinds in our rental house - the only thing that's a different colour is the ceiling(off-white). And being a rental there are no pictures or mirrors or anything
It's just downright depressing! :(
I wonder if they avoid white cos it just reminds them of snow.:unsure:

Maybe I will just go for this look instead!
it would be a talking point!
Might be a bit 'edgy' for the Canadian taste!

That's......something else, isn't it! Don't quite know what to say!

This is gross!!! Reminds me of where I worked years ago, a staff member had some prized pigeons die on him, which he noticed on the way out to work. He grabbed them and took them with him and asked the canteen woman if he could keep them in the fridge until he went home!

This is the same woman who would do a soup each day. One day she would call it 'broccoli and cheese', then a few days later she would be say it was 'sort of stilton and broccoli'!

Where is the vomiting emoticon when you need it!

Ok, ok, back to the house & paint!

My husband and I have convinced our son to move out of the basement bedroom and into our upstairs bedroom when we renovate. Then we will be making half the basement into a bedroom suite with a full size bathroom ensuite! There will be no poop-colours in site.....unless you count cream-tone travertine tiles in my bathroom! I can't wait!:thumbsup:

Oh, that sounds nice! We too are soon to be faced with the unenviable task of evicting our son out of his basement cave. Not so much for redecoration....more for fumigation purposes! There is definitely a sort of toxic smog emitted from his room. Goodness knows what he has growing in there. I try to avoid it if at all possible, as scared of what I might find! Ignorance is bliss!:blink: I have seen these little men in white suits that they use on the 'hoarders' programme. I might need one of them!

Why is there a bedroom in the dining room & a bar stool in the bathroom? If they can't get the basics right there's not really a hope in hell they'll get the colours right.

My house was all purple too (floors, doors, frames, kitchen, purple flowered wallpaper, & even the outside although that had a nice complimentary shade of salmon pink too) must have been some ghastly fashion at some point.

It's hard to see the details. Couldn't you find a larger picture? :unsure:

Funny, I was just commenting to my husband yesterday about the number of poo shades I'd seen on the walls of houses we've been eyeing up online. I'm particularly enthralled by the ones that are done in a satin finish. Nothing quite like a feature wall in the bedroom that reminds you of a glistening poop.
