Sensory Overload
I think I am nesting..without the pregnancy. Or maybe it’s years and years of repressed creative output in the context of interior design. It all started when I moved into my new place and thought “Yuck, this bathroom hasn’t been treated well since 1970something. I should paint it!”
Since then, all I can do is read design blogs about spaces, paint colors, different materials, DIY projects for the home, etc. I’ve read almost every article about how to decorate a small bathroom (pretty much use a light color..duh) and I just have no idea what to do. My design sensibility tells me “Use color! A pattern maybe! Paint some kind of mural or cool illustration!” but I just feel so weird listening to myself. Can I commit to something of my own creation? Would a tranquil, clean bathroom be better instead? I feel like I’ll either go safe and clean or just have a creative-splosion all over the bathroom. I am my own worst critic when it comes to my work or taste and I just don’t know what to do. So I need some advice. Suggestions. Maybe I just need to lay on my bathroom floor and get inspired…
Also, will someone buy me some Pantone Paints? This would be so much easier if I could just pick from my swatch libraries…
