Almost everything in my parents' home was brown, beige, or tan. To this day (I'm 62) I don't have any of those colors in my home or my wardrobe. Earth tones just look sort of depressing to me. I'm drawn to white interiors, with maybe some gray and a little bit of color.

I'm a 61-year-old woman who has always had a bathtub and has not used it (other than the shower function) since the kids were toddlers. They're pushing 40 now. I'd much rather have storage space in my tiny 1950s bathroom.

This lovely home looks considerably larger than 85sf. Did you mean square meters?
