I've been informed by my property management company that not only is painting disallowed in my lease, it's actually dangerous and not recommended because the decades of lead paint layers on the walls release fumes when painted over. So I've grudgingly lived with my dingy walls.

That said, I'm pretty sure I already lost my deposit when the fire department had to (quite literally) break down my door after I forgot a pot on the stove, so I felt free to paint the hideous laminate bathroom cabinets white. In my opinion, they are much improved.

I'm shocked that so many people don't like this design. I'm in love. It's chic and sophisticated without being pretentious, and it manages to feel expansive and airy despite the tiny size.

By the way, I really really REALLY want the bedroom lamp, so if anyone knows where it's from, please tell me!
