Our kitchen is bright yellow, and our dining room is berry red. We will probably be here for 10 more years, and weren't that concerned with the colors. My bathroom is berry red also..very hot!!
My next-door neighbors (exact same house) have what we use for the dining room bright red. They have a pool table in it! And they painted stripes on the walls in the room where I'm sitting now (our study, their guest room).
I think it's nice that the houses will be very different - sets them apart if we're all trying to sell! I suppose we could be here long enough to really enjoy the paint, but we've always moved before.
