Well, I have a dilemma that I don't quite know the answer to. I'm hoping somebody can point out an obvious solution that I'm missing, that would be the best.
Ok, right now, I'm living in a decent sized bedroom, which has my dresser, tv, bookshelf, bed, and desk, and it's pretty much packed in tight. It's functional, but not comfortable. Also, it gets hot in summer.
I have the opportunity to move into my sister'd old room. It's in the basement, and was intended as a rec-room, I think. It's quite large, and would have enough room for my bed, a full-sized table with chairs, and probably a couple chairs/small couch and a tv. It's fairly large, and I have the means to furnish it.
Now, here's my problem: the walls are rainbow colored. The top-half is an ugly yellow, and the bottom is vertical stripes, about 3" wide (although each is a different width) of blue, pink, red, orange, and green, all neon, separated by think black strips. And I hate the colors, they're ugly and make me unhappy (you know how colors affect people? These colors piss me off).
Unfortunately, my mom/sister spent days of work painting it all just right and perfectly, and my mom refuses to let me re-paint the walls to reasonable colors.
So after me and my mom spent days cleaning it out, shampooing the carpet, and everything else, I basically told her that unless we can do something about the walls, I'm going to stick with my old room. I didn't realize how badly it affected me until I actually spent a decent amount of time in it.
Can anybody think of some way to fix the problem? I'm trying to think of some way to hide the walls or something, but nothing is coming to me. I definitely can't survive in a rainbow-colored room that looks like it was painted by a 12-year-old on acid, but I don't want to give up a far-more-comfortable room either.
Any ideas?
