You might be surprised to learn that beige walls and beige carpets can be major suckers-of-light. It just has nowhere to go! But look how much light is bounced around here with the addition of hardwood floors and super-white walls. Better After reader Lynn also painted her ceilings a flat white and ditched the beige vertical blinds, which helps spread the love around even more. Besides, think we can all agree that vertical blinds are an abominable scourge to mankind and should be destroyed by any means necessary. It would have been an improvement if she had replaced them with a set of Spongebob sheets. But a trio of classy curtains works just as well.
See her fabulous kitchen makeover I recently featured here!
