I did my mom's family Xmas on the weekend, which was nice as it allowed for a certain amount of hanging out with the parentals. It's funny how that becomes an enjoyable thing, eventually.
Anyway, we were talking about the kitchen redesign they're planning, and I was talking about it with some interest, as my stint in lifestyle TV has given me a little more practical design knowledge than I had before.
"You'll have to re-paint," I said knowledgably. "It would be good if you could paint the same colour as in the living room - that way, it'll flow through and really expand the space..."
I would have finished, but that's when my mom and dad started laughing at me. "EXPAND the SPACE! Hah!"
I'll never have a big ego with the people in my life, at least?

I got the same kind of reaction when I told a friend, who'd just started a kitchen-living-dining reno, that she should "stick to neutrals on the walls, floor and ceiling, to create a more unified colour story and set the baseline for the more vibrant and extravagant colour trends we're seeing for 2007."
Or, y'know, you could just paint the walls white. :(
