I would also be embarrassed if my house was directly next to a commercial space and lacked the parking to keep guests segregated from said commercial space. Ex, "Our biggest embarrassment is telling people that they can park in front of the gas station/grocery store/car dealership etc." I get how defining the hospital as a "mental" hospital can be offending, but I believe that the intent behind the comment was not meant to offend but rather be transparently honest about their home's more annoying quirks. I'm surprised that everyone descended so harshly on one little phrase.

That being said, I think this house tour is adorable=)

I adore house tours featuring a clean, uncluttered & neutral Scandinavian decor style- but my own home is decorated with gypsy pops of bright color, random stacks of books & tchotchke groupings, and life. There's lots of life in my home. Sometimes I wish I had multiple homes, so that I could have fun decorating each one in a different style. Then I laugh, and just buy things that I enjoy:)

This is cute. The color combo feels a little "tweeny" to me though. I tend to prefer a richer, more rustic, comfy textured feeling. Plus I have dogs, so clear glass accents don't go over well in my home!

I took the "Color Acuity Test" and scored a 7... Apparently I have difficulty determining between blues and greens. Then I took the "Color Vision Deficiency Test" and got 2 questions wrong in the Tritanopia category- I googled tritanopia and it is "A rare form of color-blindness resulting from insensitivity to blue light, causing confusion of greens and blues." WINNER WINNER CHICKEN DINNER!

The funny thing is that this explains why I got a headache trying to color match Benjamin Moore paint samples to a magazine picture, for an upcoming bathroom redo, in, of all colors, dark teal blue.

Ugh. The last one I SO GET. We inherited the world's wonkiest cabinets with our new house! Thankfully the previous owners had painted them white (which I love) so I can live with it until we scrape together enough for a full-gut reno... But every time I open and close those drawers wood scrapes against wood, cabinet doors hang ever so slightly askew and won't close all the way, and it sucks. It honestly sucks. Buy quality cabinets, people! Don't just paint what you've got and think that you've solved all your problems!

We lucked out by moving into a house whose master suite was already painted the most luscious deep brown... sort of a "chalky" brown, with cool undertones. Very soothing, and goes perfectly with our white wrought iron bed frame and a milk-glass vase of hydrangeas. I never want to repaint. It's rather close to image 7, a little lighter maybe. I love brown walls, anywhere!
