    I don't want to, because only unwelcome guests and annoying family members will ever use it, but it really does need a fresh lick. Just can't decide on a colour.

    Only if it's a red door.

    Taupe is a good neutral-ish earthtone that goes with a lot of other colors and prints. It's the primary color in my living room and it works quite well.

    The ceiling too? Interesting idea. I could also board up the window. And stick the cat litter in there. Then only desperate visitors need apply.

    I'd go with teal over aquamarine. Easier on the eyes.

    yes! I have a roll of duct tape in my hunting rucksack in that color. Yesterday I cut myself hunting (don't ask) and I used it to close the wound together enough to control the bleeding. Not saying any other color wouldn't work, but I'd like to think "blaze fucking eye melting neon orange" saved the day! :techman:

    oh shit! I painted my daughter's bedroom that color green when she still lived at home. :) Thanks, now I'm missing her. :( Just kidding, she can be pretty bitchy at times! :brood:

    bababot has taken over baba account?


    Sure, but the moment you leave a pencil or a bag of chips lying around, the entire room is ruined.

    If you wish to drive your visitors away in a subtle way I recommend doing it up in pastel ponies with tattoos on their asses because that seems to bother most normal people while being relatively harmless. Say you want to make it kid friendly and then force the adults to sleep there. If you happen to find one that stays you will want to lire it away with furry pornography before it nests.

    While designs like this make for interesting pictures, I just can't see it working in an average home. Yes, it's bold and bright, but it doesn't offer any flexibility in terms of what else you can put in the room that will complement the walls.
