I understand completely!! We’ve lived in our house for 6 years now! I’ve repainted, redecorated SEVERAL times and it’s ok to do that, it’s your sanctuary, I was nervous about painting over new paint to, but decided that it was ok and just did it. Lol I’ve went from the taupe to bold and cool colors. The living room has yet to be painted, husband wants different furniture so I stuck with what furniture to actually get so I can’t paint till I figure that out. I need help there myself. So don’t feel bad about where you are, just breathe grab things you like and go from there. It’s yours make it the way you want.

First of all RELAX! You only bought and moved in to your new house four months ago. You haven’t lived there long enough to feel what the house wants you to do with it. Every house will “speek” to you, if you will take the time to quietly sit and listen.just sit and enjoy your new house for a while, enjoy what God and hard work gave you. Walk through your house and thank God for each room and tell him what you like about each room. Be grateful for what you have now. Then sit and listen. The house will tell you, what kind of curtains it wants by the way the light comes through the windows and the view of the yard and neighborhood it wants you to see and the privacy it wants you to have. The rooms will tell you if they want bold colors by the amount of activity they have in them, too much color in a buzzy room might be too much for your senses, and add unwanted stress to your family. But in a quieter room a bold color might be just what the room has been screaming for. Enjoy your house and the way your family lives in it, and it will talk you through how it wants to be decorated.

Everyone struggles with this I think….and really, it is so easy to change wall color, rugs, pillows, so everything else is probably better neutral. My opinion…lol

I don’t know if your post is old. I can’t find a date but maybe I’m over looking it since it’s 6am. Lol. And maybe you’ve already fixed your decorating dilemmas. But here’s my advice….do NOT paint your walls. I love color too. And I am ALWAYS changing things around. Think of your house like your wardrobe. You start with basics … pants and shirt. Then you layer on from there. Colorful cardigan, shoes, etc. Then your jewelry or accessories. Does that make sense? If you have a bold color on the walls then you’re locked in. If you wore a bright turquoise shirt everyday you would wonder to yourself if you’re crazy. But if everyday you wear taupe, you can add on a rainbow of different colors all the time and people would think you were the most stylish girl in town. So stay with your wall color and relax. My second piece of advice is the motto I live by…………LIVE WITH WHAT YOU LOVE.. buy what speaks to your soul. Not just what’s the trend for today, but what really speaks to YOU.

I have the same problem a lot of times so I know how you feel. It can be a very overwhelming feeling. I like different colors and looks too but I like to change things a lot so I find that I like doing the main living areas in a neutral color. We just redid our main area and went with a very soft grey called silvery moon by Benjamin Moore. I really like it because it allows me to easily change colors and seasons.

You sound just like me!!!! My husband and u are building our dream house and we close at the end of this month. I’ve been looking on Pinterest for decorating ideas etc because I’m not creative at all and have to borrow ideas. I have so many pins and ideas I have no idea what I want. I’m not brave enough for big bold colors so I’m more of a warm soft color kind of gal. We both work and have crazy hectic jobs and 2 children, 9 (boy) and 4 (girl). I want to come home to something tranquil and relaxing. Our house is a 1 and a half story and our bedroom and living room are in the back and right of the house and the kids rooms are to the left and upstairs is a game room so I was thinking of our part of the house being calm and tranquil and then the kids side more fun and colorful.

Did you ever decide on what to do? I would live to hear about it and see pictures.
