A home should have personality! I despise this neutral craze and will never forgive the Kardashians for popularizing it. All it does is save manufacturers money. Everyplace looks like a dentist’s waiting room! Check out European furniture; it’s every color of the rainbow! US choices; beige, cream, black, brown and if you’re real lucky, blue! “Pops of color", my sweet rosy red!

I really think the neutral everywhere look promotes an attitude of passivity. Nothing to notice, nothing to think about…just stumble along in a gray/white/beige haze. Open floor plans; never a minute to yourself. No thinking, no reflection.

My home looks like no place else on Earth. It suits us!
