I hate to say this and sound rude, but my husband and I are landlords, so I've always had that taste that "every other person out there has". I've not had a bad decor experience, but I've seen my fair share of "Oh my goodness, what could this person be thinking!!?" This would be brown mushrooms, orange cookware and yellow sunflowers. Yes, sometimes (not very often) these colours can work, but EXCUSE ME, what were you thinking?

Trying to wallpaper everything myself. With stripes.

Um, no, it did NOT work.

Will never try that again!~

My first apartment – it had light pink cinder-block walls, deep brown shag carpet, and one tiny overhead light. I added to that the only sofa I could afford (garage sale) – dark brown wood with orange/brown/yellow plaid fuzzy upholstry.

I painted the walls a fluorescent, retina-searing yellow and then used black & white accessories. It was like drowning in taxi vomit.

I attempted to paint my living room beige with one chocolate brown accent wall. This was the first time I ever painted, and didn't know that the colors would look different once they were actually on the wall. I ended up with a dusty rose colored living room with a brick red accent wall. Craptacular!

Probably the time I got some paint that was suppose to be a mauve color, it turned out to look like pepto bismol…..I painted one wall for a joke so others could see it. LOL everyone said it looked like pepto. Needless to say I took it back and switched color schemes all together.
