If you all love the before lamps so much, offer Abby some money to buy them, then remove the paint yourselves! The green lamps were fine, but I would have had no idea that the amazing texture and design lurked under that green paint.

Wow, some of you people are just awful. Yellow and gray go very well together, the curtains are not going to catch fire over the fan--come on! It's a rental, her choices are limited and I know those cupboards, they are terrible (but as rental you cannot do anything about them).Yes, everyone is entitled to their opinion, the pictures are being posted on a decorating sight with comments open to everyone, but I hope that those of you who are so critical aren't as critical to the people in your lives because I suspect you'll all die alone. I am sure that during the day, it is bright and cheerful. The lighting does not seem like it would be a friend to any colors. I'd also like to say ask those people who suggested red if they have ever woken up in the morning and gone into a red kitchen before? It is jarring and makes you feel irritable and on edge, although I am guessing from the comments, many of you are living in red homes.

One of my favourite house tours! I could live there and enjoy every minute! Imagine waking up to that bright warm light and yet it's comfy and cozy enough for cold and/or rainy days! Love it!
Although I hope she doesn't have any downstairs neighbours with those heels and the gorgeous hardwood floors lol

Those are great suggestions, you'll find that it does get significantly cooler--a light comfy sweater might be just the ticket. Of course, foods will definitely help--think warm comfort foods. What I would miss the most is the smell of fall so I guess going a little north for the smell of leaves will be therapeutic.

I love it! With all of that amazing art and brightly coloured accents, I can't imagine anything better than white walls. Great work, Tyler. I'd definitely be happy living there!

OK, here's my two cents. First, it's better to be safe than sorry. Second, perhaps he's not crazy and dangerous, perhaps the woman who complained about him is the crazy one. Either way, someone is crazy~~and they're both living next to you. I definitely wouldn't want to be living there.

I actually like white walls (I think it was because I grew up in a home that was constantly being redecorated and re-painted) and once lived in an all wood-panelled apartment (sounds nice to many, just as I thought in the beginning~then it feels like the walls are closing in on you). However, I could not live without putting things on the walls. I found white hooks that are backed with glue, you melt the glue with a lighter, stick it to the wall and stays until you want to take it off. After a while, just pull on it a little and it usually comes off without any indication it was there in the first place.

It is definitely dated, and I am so sorry to hear that people came into the home and destroyed it~sad that people have not taught their children to show respect for someone else's property. I look forward to seeing the transformation. Good luck!

p.s. Additionally, my partner also has some things given to him from friends, and we've added those to the wall too~it's been a tremendous way to incorporate everyone from both of our lives into our space together.

@Sally305 Am I missing something? What's wrong with head over 'heels'?
