Must we suffer for beauty???
Our lovely model, Mr Johnny Depp, is not standing in a beige room. That room is more of a creamy white with pink undertones. There's a big difference. It's not beige. Johnny does not live in a world of beige and neither do I. Neither should you.
I know who makes a how to make a room look good. I make rooms look, how would you say this best... inviting.
See? You could find a good book to read here and just sink right in. Why find a library when even my stairwells are interesting and irresistible?
I make rooms you can feel wonderful in! Wouldn't you love to get comfy here? Of course I always cover the furniture when I paint, but sometimes I stumble upon happy accidents; I've discovered a new style here. I just drape the furniture with white sheets. I call it draping. I know! So deceptively simple! That's my genius as an interior desecrator.
I took the curtains down to give them a trip through the washing machine. I'm not going to iron them because I want them to be slightly wrinkled. I want them to have that unmade bed look. What - you don't think curtains can look like they just rolled outta bed?
Well that's why I'm a genius interior desecrator. My imagination gets things happening.
Ahhhhh.... I must get off my butt and pick up a paintbrush again. Reality calls. I really hope painting the cove moulding white perks up that, uh, "natural linen." And I hope somebody in the near future falls in love with this house. It's a house that deserves to be loved.

You ARE an author. Don't forget that.
Beige is ok for some people, just not interesting, creative people like us :) Somebody will all in love with the house, I just know it. Soon, I hope :)
In a perfect world I'm rich so everyone does things for me...;-)
Keep writing, keep riding, keep desecrating...er...that doesn't sound right....;-)
This made me laugh because when we moved into the house I'm in now, everything was BEIGE!! It drove me crazy!! I spent five years un-beiging it all. I hate beige.
I think the point is, though, that a potential buyer can "see" their own design through beige because it's neutral, whereas a room that may be, say, neon pink, may be harder for them to visualize themselves in.
As for beautiful Johnny - I saw Friday he made Entertainment Weekly's Entertainer of the Year. Great front cover. Made me think of you. :)
HW is right. I can look at Johnny Deep and see you... No, let me rephrase that. I can't look at Johnny Deep and not see you.
Let me also say that even in an imperfect world, you can carry "the perfect" inside of you.
In defense of beige: it's a perfect way of camouflaging something you love(d), a part of letting go. When you finish, you will see someone else living there, hopefully as happy as you have been. As an artist, I want to have a new canvass to start with. So do not curse the beige--bless it.
