1) What color was your living room couch when you were growing up?

no one actually ever sat in our living room when i was growing up. my parents had these sort of furry white contemporary looking couches that looked like they were made out of artic muppet fur. they were spotless bright white.

2) What color is it now?

now our couch is very dirty/stained. it's off white with a rose floral pattern in muted colors like dusty rose and and muted green.

3) What color was your bedroom growing up?

white laminate furniture, as a pre-teen i was into lots of lavender. grey wall-to-wall carpet, the walls were white.

4) What color is it now?

sort of thrift store looking, not one color. the stuff on the bed is brick red and beige, the curtains are denim blue. the bed frame is black metal (like fake wrought iron), one nightstand is white painted wood, there is a multicolored rag rug, etc. the walls are white.

5) What color was your hair growing up? brown

6) What color is it now? brown

7) What was your favorite color growing up? as a preteen i was really into lavender.

8) What color is it now?

in general it's pink, both pastel and hot pink, though not for home decorating.

1) What color was your living room couch when you were growing up?
I have no clue. I really can't remember.

2) What color is it now? My couch is a beigy brown, one of those neutral ones.

3) What color was your bedroom growing up? It was green which I didn't like because I didn't like the colour green then.

4) What color is it now? It is beige. Eventually we will paint it but it was freshly painted when we bought the house a year ago so it seems like a waste to paint it now.

5) What color was your hair growing up? Dark brown, almost black.

6) What color is it now? Still dark brown but with highlights.

7) What was your favorite color growing up? Probably blue but can't remember.

8) What color is it now? I would say red because it represents my personality.

Living rooms are such useless rooms.

I completely agree. When DH and I were wanting to build another house, we agreed we'd only get a house with a great room floor plan. Our condo has a "living room", but it's the TV room/family room/ etc. No extra rooms to clean anymore!
