I need help, and I’d love your advice. Please see the post at Shelterrific. (Just don’t dis my artwork!)

UPDATE: Oh, crap. Should we just paint everything white, like this?

I find the idea of decorating completely terrifying. When I get a permanent hovel, I’m going to have to round up you and Uncle Beefy for emergency decoration IV drip.

One day I will have a cottage all in mahogany, sepia, and white….but not now.

I say maybe find a nice cafe au lait or straw that you like and then put color back sparingly.

But you’re talking to the girl that has a chile red den with no art on the walls so what do I know?

Tiffany, I actually kind of like the idea of “straw.” That appeals to me! I also liked the person who suggested we pare down the rugs to show the floor more. This will be fun. (Horrible but fun.)
