As the tabloids make millions of dollars from celebrity addictions, I make tens, sometimes even hundreds of smackers off my much less dangerous addiction, color. I use it any way I can whether it's a wallpapered ceiling, two or three accessories or a simple stripe on a pillow. A room without color makes me wanna stab myself in the knuckles with a dull, metal spork.

On Facebook, my uber stylist friend, Annette, once put me in my place after posting an update which spoke ill of the safest hue in the universe, beige. Her scolding remark "There is a place for every color" kinda sat with me for a few days after our little social media scuffle. The outcome? I don't necessarily despise beige when it's done in a less-expected, purposeful manner; however, I'm not gonna invite it into MY home just yet. My violet and charcoal spaces will probably sucker punch the B-word for trespassing too neutrally.

The following collection of images are, indeed, beige; however, they're not necessarily one-way-tickets to Snoreville or Boredomtown. Take a look, then leave many an opinionated comment below. I'm dying to see how others feel about beige...says the decorator dude with orange and white, chevron-painted floors.
