The build

I do like colours but I know not everyone does.

I love colours and having grown up in the tropics really miss the vibrancy of the colours there but I've been conditioned by staid, boring P for too many years and lack the confidence to experiment, so I end up with staid, boring decorations. It was a nightmare just chosing the colour for the living room repaint. My indecisiveness and his lack of adventure made life very stressful. I'm sure P would love minimalistic boring, beige everything.   Anything for an easy life.

What colour did you go with for your living room?

Pale and boringly conservative.  It was called  Ghostly from the Albany range and basically a pale green/yellow colour. If I had the courage (and support from P) I'd have gone for an accent wall in a deeper green but it wasn't to be.
