    Default Picking a colour

    Time to paint. Walls are freshly plastered. Once I get the first plaster coat, which is a white. I will need to pick a colour.

    Now that is the hard part. I don't really give that much of a shit. So that makes it more difficult. I definitely want a neutral and a I'm almost tempted by magnolia, due to my lack of ideas. Any suggestions?

    A yellow along the lines of the background picture in the following link brightened up my relatively dark front room, and also gained the approval of the minister of decoration. Plus I like it so it was a triple win:

    All the home decor forums have been going nuts over grey walls recently. As bad as it sounds, it looks CLASSY AS FUCK.

    Yeah. The bird decided on grey for our bedroom (polished pebble it's called), and I was dubious but it does look good.
    Ooh, ooh, ooh, the funky gibbon.
