@ville__ You have 'a passion for fighting against cyber-bullying' but this whole comment is just you crapping on a creator to try and get subs. If you're 30+ then you need to grow out of the teenager mindset and find other ways to get views, cause this ain't it, chief. It's not cute, it's not funny, and it definitely won't get you views. Quite the opposite, it'll get you people who avoid your channel and advise others to do so because of your attitude.
@@bluedragonfly8139im not trying to say that what this person is doing is correct but they may have trouble growing out of the "teenager mindset" because, as they stated, they do have autism aka Aspergers syndrome
The offering of glasses because they acknowledge that some people find their house oversaturated probably shows more love and affection than what their parents gave them throughout their childhood
Me with my own art and hat collection now. I was told displaying either was tacky and to put it all in a bin. Now I have a floor to ceiling hat display on one wall and all my weird art floor to celing framed on another. My pride of my home tbh
@@neff6185 FR. and we all know its fake because im pretty sure a grown ass man wouldnt advertise his channel starting with the sentence "I MAKE BETTER CONTENT THAN THIS"
The sunglasses are a beautiful note because they *are not forcing you to participate,* even though they themself was forced to participate in the beige when they were young. They aren't just going against their trauma, they're growing beyond it.
I once saw a video of a woman who loved the 60s aesthetic and had her entire house match it, minus her kid’s room. She said that the kid could choose to have a completely different style and decorate his room however he wanted. I think that’s the perfect balance: if you like a specific aesthetic go for it, but if you have children let them experiment with what they like too
That’s how it was for me most of my childhood, just had to check with mom first so we could go get the paint or find something to hang with. She had free reign of the rest of the house, but my room was my space. Then in high school I couldn’t paint or hang anything because the house had to stay like new, so I wasn’t able to decorate for about 5ish years. Off white walls with no hanging decorations is reeaally boring.
I feel strongly about this. Not just decor. Last fall my aunt bought her 16 year old’s back to school wardrobe without her presence or input, and she was surprised when they had a huge blow up. Like, come on - of course she would want some bodily autonomy!
This is played so perfectly that, even though I know it's due to childhood trauma, it sounds like the lack of color was a sin of their past that they must attone for.
Ok this is gonna sound super weird but I just recently rewatched the steve saga and I saw your comments on like every single one of the old videos lol I'm happy you're still active on UA-cam 😊
I dated a guy who definitely had this going on, he’s so maximalist and colorful, it was super fun. It was also really cute to watch him enjoy things with such reckless devotion, it made me appreciate the world in a new light.
It absolutely is, especially studies show now the painting/drawing with contrasting colours turned out to be so important. As a child me and my siblings were given colours to paint with, but black and other too dark shades were always taken away so we couldn't do "ugly" art.... 😬 My mom wanted pretty colours... Which were yellow and red and light green and light blue nothing else. It's real sad that I distinctly remember when I was a child hearing somewhere that all colours combined perfectly would make black, and I spent days attempting to mix black.. Because I wished I could use it for my drawings. And only managed light browns. I was so sad man.
Nah fr like the type of parents who are good at this are the gothic couple on TikTok where their whole house is like black and stuff BUT THEY HAVE A COLOR ROOM FOR THEIR BABY 😭 like is it that hard for the beige moms?
@@LeafyStrawberry Omg a colour room,, that is So Cute. It's like with the Addams family how they were so so supportive of their youngest being normal despite hating every second of it
As long as you never force them to hug you or anyone else against their will. I was forced to hug and give cheek kisses to any friend of my parents', I hated it to no end and felt like my body wasn't mine because I wasn't allowed to have physical boundaries.
@@ruansasa289 true, but at a certain point you have to realize that when you have kids you're gonna have to give them the affection they need, otherwise they notice that shit and it hurts
The bit about the fingerpaints going in the basement made me remember how shitty me and my little brother felt the day we found out my mom threw away all of the drawings we made for her. We never made another thing for her after that.
I have kept SOOO many priceless works of art that my four children have given me. I have two dresser drawers filled. Someday, I'll give their individual works to them. I'm also huge on hanging art on the fridge. When it's old or starting to look like it's deteriorating, I put them in my drawer and put new ones up. I didn't get that when I was a kid. I'm breaking the cycle.
I try to go through them with my kids when I have to. I feel so bad but when you live in an apt that is less than half the size of a standard trailer, amd no storage I couldn't keep the many bins required for them all. Now in a trailer, we still don't have room but I have room to keep more.
My mom went through a sad beige phase when I was a teen and she redid my room. My bedsheets were white, and I had a big, soft, BEIGE duvet cover. I was not allowed to put anything on my walls. Now I have a gallery wall in my dining room full of color! She hated it. 🤣
the idea of enforcing a friggin. room dress code for a teenagers room is just so deeply sad. what the hell. self expression and a space for oneself is so important!! glad you have a gallery wall :)
That makes me even more grateful that my parents always allowed me to choose the paint's colour for my room. I mean they weren't too happy with my love of black colour but they went with my choice for purple-blue room😂❤️
@@daughter_of_hades5312 that backfired for me - we built a house when I was about 11 and all three of us girls chose cotton candy pink carpet and paint. Fast forward to 22 years old, I'm still in a pink haze because we can't afford the cost and disruption to re-carpet. 🤦🏻 It's ok, though. It wasn't too far off my aesthetic. I made it work. And now I have a space where almost all my decorating dreams have come true.
Yikes. I don't have kids and I don't plan to. But if I did, my tastes would have no bearing on their room. It's their room. If the parent doesn't like looking at it, well bedrooms have doors for a reason.
My mom was mean and very religious she don't like gays. She didn't like me being gay when I was living with her. Now I live on my own but mom is still the same there other things she don't like bc of that I have a hard time socializing with other people I live alone and depressed all the time, I hate myself. I have no friends, girlfriend, no family of my own, no car, broke poor, no job, on section 8 housing, I been stuck in this apartment for ever ( years) and lazy no life of any kind. 😢
Also when my son was about 4, we painted a bedroom wall as a galaxy with sparkles, was magical. Kids deserve wonder, magic and adventure. Im just now hearing of beige moms. Im kinda old though, lol.
Reading this gave me flashbacks to my mum helping me set up glowing stars in my room after watching treasure planet. Parents like you who let their kids experience wonder, set their kids up to be able to find refuge from the blandness that can be modern society.
My dad painted hills, sky, and clouds for my Dora the Explorer themed room. My mom and I were out of town and he surprised me when I got home. I *loved* it, I loved it even more when he told me he did it himself. Almost 20 years later and I refuse to let them paint over it😂
My mom AND dad are beige parents 😭😭😭😭 I got lucky to convince them to keep an orange wall... I always wanted a colorful house, but everything... B E I G E
Reminds me of the episode of the OG Twilight Zone where one man was never allowed to make any noise as a child and grew up to be the most loud and intense man.
@lethfuil Right? I used to watch it all the time until they started making that reboot and the original got taken down everywhere. I don't want bootleg Black Mirror, dammit, I want good Cold War era sci-fi!
I grew up in a house where there was no bold or strong colours. All very neutral pastels. The office I am sitting in in my own home is painted deep red and my bedroom is eggplant.
My parents never used to clean the bathrooms, barely cleaned the kitchen, our whole house was gross and they put all the chores on me and my sibling. I over compensate by keeping my apartment incredibly tidy. But I feel better about myself and take pride in my living space, but it does annoy me when roommates don't take care of the space I try to keep clean
Make sure you tell her as often as you can. No regret worse than those we have plenty of control over. As a mom now, I ache when I think about some of the loneliness my mom went through.
Hey some parents are wery strict, like i have friend who has dad that if she tell the bare MINIMUM shes doing on the internet or like draws and stuff he would go NUTS. Then theres me who draws two male characters with bloody bandages, cuddling together in bed, run to my mom and im like "Mom look what i draw!" Like some toddler and shes like "Thats prettyyy i like the shading of the roommm the lights are so nice draww and they look cutee" Also the other time im explaining my book and the villian who get crazy becuse he loved the Hero (they males too) and my dad listens with interested nods I fucking love those two
@@JulieKc-g6sIf I showed my mom a gorey drawing of two men cuddling in bloody bandages my mother would think I'm gay and comment about the blood. :/ My dad, being in his 60's would kill me. And therefore I limit showing art to my parents. (And they wonder why I don't show them crap anymore 😒)
I grew up with a beige mom and oh my god my house looks like someone chucked a rainbow at it and gave it the most colorful and random decor ever , i’m happy about it
@@dandelion1469they’re mom probably refuses to go to their house cause it doesn’t fit their aesthetic and they don’t want to be seen in a place so “garishly” ugly
Or any alternative brand of colorful stickers 😊 (Just because Lisa Frank company has a history of being very abusive to employees, I live in the city she lives where her brand was founded in and it was a huge controversy here, she was named the worst employer here at one point and people would warn everyone to never ever work there, so the factory is basically defunct now and she outsourced all product manufacture to somewhere else because she couldn't handle running a business and not being toxic to employees, she's also delusional and has a narcissistic celebrity complex where she thinks she's as famous as Michael Jackson because she made some stickers that were a fad for like 13 years and died out. And tried to sue a distributor for not selling enough of her stickers because they weren't popular enough anymore and she couldn't accept that and wanted to take her profit out of someone with a lawsuit to make up for it.)
ya my parents are "modernists" and love black and white interior design with little color & kept it that way my whole childhood. My bathroom and living room as an adult are pink, my kitchen is blue. I have a bookshelf that's rainbow lol
Theirs probably looked better than your ugly home. It's embarrassing that the "lack of color" affected you so much. The adults are paying for it, so they get to choose what colors are in their home.
When we remodelled our house, I asked to paint my room blue. Mum said sure, and got some swatches. I pointed to a nice sky blue that had a hint of grey to it and she told me it was too blue, pick something else. I went back and forth with her about how it’s my room and I just want a bit saturation but she didn’t let me have more than the off grey that I’m stuck with now. It’s barely blue honestly and I’m really sad I didn’t press the point further cause now my walls look like the rest of her “modern” aesthetic
My parents let me do whatever I wanted in my room.. I can't believe I ever lived in a dark purple room with a neon green desk and teal+pink bedsheets... It was terrible looking back at it but I was happy they let me do whatever chaos of color and patterns I wanted.
i had the signature teal blue walls as my first color choice I made for my bedroom. i got this really tacky pattern block comforter that was all pink on one side, and the other side had a pattern grid with zebra stripes, polka dots, flowers, etc. i covered my walls in cartoon posters. i eventually switched in high school to all white walls and furniture with lots of colorful decorations bc the teal walls and years of posters became very overstimulating.
My mom is the opposite of a beige mom. Most rooms in the house are aggressively color themed (not obsessively so). I loved Fairies as a kid, so I got a pink carpet, pink walls with a custom tree and fairy mural on the wall with periwinkle ceiling. When I was a teenager and tired of the pink she let me paint it a LOUD cobalt blue and I chose to cover the mural with statin peacock themed sheets lol. Now that I’ve moved home to care for a family member I painted it white and uncovered the mural with pink and light green accents. I’m so grateful she gave me so much room to express myself and although the teenage phase in particular is not a style I would do again, she never said a word about it. Love her ❤️
My bedroom as a child was mint green since I shared it with my sister. There was a hammock above it full of random plushies. The beds itself used Hello Kitty bedding. (They are twin sized beds.) Once I was allowed to paint my own room I turned it lavender purple and covered my bookshelf in plush unicorns and other childhood bits and bobs. (And novels/manga) My eyes burn looking at primary colors but my room at least isn't devoid of colour. Ah I love walking into my room as if it was a candy store. (Those are bright but in a fun way.)
As the adult child of the OG beige mom, decor-magazines-I-buy-in-the-checkout-line mom, I can say that every knickknack I display is a victory. And there’s never enough. There will never be enough.
Not only does this awesome hostess allow her guests to shield their eyes from overstimulation, but she actually OFFERS to PROVIDE THEM. She is a wonderful hostess, who understands some people need color, and others need a lack thereof. This goes beyond the Golden Rule, of "Do unto others as you would have others do unto you." This is the Platinum Rule: "Do unto others as they would have you do unto them." That's an awesome person and I would hang out with her, any time.
@@hannahpalmer6499 i am a huge believer in decorating the home to fit the room’s purpose. I love the light blues and soft earth tones in my bedroom because that’s where I want to go to find comfort and peace at the end of the day. But I love a colorful, “loud” kitchen because it inspires energy and fun while having to do tedious things like cooking and washing dishes. Every color should have its place. Even “sad beige.” 🥰
@@hannahpalmer6499I believe the problem isn't the colors, but the act of supressing children to protect an aesthetic. Besides, there's a difference between earthy colors, which can be varied, and restricting choice to only one desaturated shade.
@@nanahuatli2144i mean the reason for beige moms i hear was originally to get wooden toys that would last longer or toys that would be safe for kids, painting plastic toys was never the purpose but people have to ruin every good thing
@hannahpalmer6499 YES. Like, I grew up on LISA FRANK. I do *not* need more color. I am colored out. I've got ADHD and a toddler. I'm overstimulated 100% of the time. Her room and playroom can be colorful. The rest of the house? NEUTRALS. Let my brain rest.
Agreed. My mom was like this as I grew up in the 80s and 90s, never allowing me to decorate my own room or hang up my artwork. Just blank white walls, and my room was a Little White Box. As an adult I do crave color but no modern aesthetic matches my craving aside from hardcore Bohemian. Part of yourself is always a child and often trapped in the past.
@@thepinkestpigglet7529💯💯💯 literally the entire point of trends is to bring ideas around again for people who may have never seen them before. Just take what you like & run with it!
My God. Its me. I’m laughing and crying inside. My friends call me Lisa Frank. My walls are now donned with paintings of bunnies, kittens, cats riding horses, and the Lochness monster. My mother was a beige mom, and now she’s a gray-toned mom. My home bursts with colors, and I’m proud of who I’ve become. I proudly display my kids’ art. I even framed a monster my three year old drew on the wall with Sharpie when she forgot our “draw on paper and now the house” rule. Life is too imperfect to be perfect.
I _love_ that you framed the wall drawing, it’s an incredibly beautiful antithesis to the way a lot of kids’ actions are “corrected” when they do something “wrong”…
Can confirm. My Dad preferred brown/beige and wouldn’t let anyone paint the house. God forbid a home be anything but depressing! He wouldn’t let me paint my room till high school. The color I chose? BUBBLE GUM BLUE 💙 Now I’m older and I just moved into my new apartment and even now I want to decorate everything with bright colors!! 💖✨ I balance it out with a brown/black desk and bookshelf 🥰
@@comradekitty3759only thing is when painting furniture it is often sealed so you will have to prime it before painting! Otherwise the paint flakes off!
I mean I honestly get him (I don’t get not allowing you to paint your own room through)- I have adhd which often comes along with sensory processing disorder which I also have, bright colours send me straight into sensory overload. It’s too much stimuli for my brain to handle, I need neutral colours to be around especially in my own home, otherwise I’d constantly be in a state of sensory overload which I don’t think those who haven’t experienced it understand how debilitating sensory overload is. Sometimes people who reject bright colours aren’t doing it to fit an “aesthetic”, some are doing it to not get migraines every two seconds and constantly having your senses overwhelmed. But I don’t understand not allowing you to paint your own room, that’s your own space and you should be able to take whatever creative liberties you want.
@@_kikizaman_ I'd like to think there's a big difference between having sth like ADHD where it's genuinely harmful and overstimulating to have too many colors and just being an ass about personal preferences and not having compromises
yeah my parents at least let me choose to have colours on two walls in room when I lived there, now after 5 years they renovated my room and every wall is white again and I feel like a foreign body encapsuled in an emotionless box when I stay there. I'm so sorry for all the people who could not choose for themselves and had to grow up like this, I can't imagine how it must feel to have it like that all the time
Wait.... people don't put their kids artwork up? For an aesthetic? I LOVE when my kid brings me artwork. It's up all over the house. Also, if a kid - any kid- makes you something, that's special. Kids don't have money. But they put their heart into those things and that's worth way more.
My mom hid everything we made. It was all clutter to her. Christmas ornaments were fine for a month but anything else was put in a drawer for "safekeeping".
my best friend's mom put their MLP art from early middle school up and it's emo inspired from 2005 AMV's. It's my bestie's biggest shame when she walks past it and one of my most favorite treasures.
My mom was a ‘blue’ mom. Her favorite color was blue, but the Kitchen was a life of its own. Her fridge was a focal point of color and creativity. So SOOO many paintings, projects, little notes and - as I grew older and traveled - quirky magnets filled the space over the years I grew up. whenever Christmas cards would come, they would get tapped to the under-ledge of the cabinets to display. She was precious of what went up on her walls in the rest of the house, but the kitchen, which was central and seen by all because of the layout of our home, was the display chamber of what her family meant to her. Years later, when I was at a painting event with a friend, we were recreating a Turkey the instructor was showing. This was one of those places where you can make whatever you want - follow the instructor, experiment with the lesson, or go your own path. I followed the form, but specifically created a palette of blues and purples I knew would compliment my mom’s walls. I won’t lie, if there’s one thing I’ve been able to do over the years, it’s grasp the color wheel and know how to blend to create the shades I want. The end result has graced the central wall of Mom’s dining room every November for Thanksgiving since she first saw it when I brought it home :-) Just a little call back to wanting to display her pride in family mixed with my grown-up respect of her personal decorating style.
Stop this is so cute 😭😭😭 I hope everything else about your relationship with your mum is just as wholesome as this. And if it’s not I hope that you can treasure whatever good there is
My mom threw out all my childhood artwork, by the end of the day in which it came home. Not a single thing of mine was allowed to be anywhere but my room, not a book, a toy, a coat. Same for my brother. Other than formal family portraits, the house was to look as if no children lived there.
My grandma said she would trow the drawing books from my 7 yo bother away I said no and kept them together with all my sketch books, even the ones she had separated o trow away, i have a lot of drawings that he made in random papers too, my grandma says that i like keeping "trash" Like, she kept my drawing books, why she couldn't keep my brother's books?
Certainly makes me feel better about my decision to ignore the fact that my kids have stuff in every space in my home 😂 I keep telling myself it will be tidy when they move out until grandbabies come along and my walls are once again plastered with kid artwork and my couches are lined up with toys in various scenarios 😂
okay but the thing with hanging up your childhood drawings is actually such a great idea! I‘m currently doing some rly intense inner child work in therapy and I think framing and hanging those drawings would be a cool way of further validate and uplift my inner child :D
@@Brainzeater69 I do this with things I color as an adult if that helps, I have a super fun animal coloring book and my fiance loves to see the new ones I put in the office💕
I don't have those anymore. xD But even if I did, I wouldn't hang that on my walls. I wasn't an artist and I don't need child scribblings all over my walls. But to each their own, of course!
It 1000% is. It gives the child so much validation and encouragement. It also makes them feel very special and loved. They don’t even know it’s happening their brain is just soaking it all in.
My husband hangs my adult coloring book pages on our fridge for me when I finally finish one and it’s really healing and cathartic for me so yes I fully encourage this behavior!
Forever grateful to have an alt/former goth mom that decorates the house with nightmare before Christmas snd horror movie decor, funko pops, drawings I’ve done when I was younger, and lilo and stitch plushies
These Children are going to love and cause a Revival in Maximalism design Edit: I just re-visited short cause I was bored lol I have these likes noice. These children could influence Colours back to Grey-Black and Red coded Palette that Society just so happens to adopt. Vehicles will be brighter and will stand out more in public, Pastelcore will be thriving and Maximalism will affect Music and Literature, bringing back more Late 1800s to 1960s styles. It will not just affect Design but all forms of Art, just imagine an old brutalist Buildung with a sprinkle of Greenery and 1960s interior
My grandmother was a big fan of sanitarium "eggshell white". Everything... doors, doorknobs, walls, moldings, bed sheets, pillow cases, kitchen appliances, the carpet...
This is my in-laws whom we bought our house from, everything in it was either eggshell or beige. I'm still slowly working on fixing it. (painting is expensive and a lot of work 😞)
I would say a lot of the Millennials who do the beige and neutral color schemes are reacting to the style they were raised with as well. Keep in mind, many Millennials hated the bright neons and clashing patterns of the 90s because it felt too overwhelming to them so they overcorrected. I'm not saying I agree with it, I think kids need color, but it's a reaction all the same. And then the person above will have children who rebel and only decorate their homes with gray and white and the cycle unfortunately continues.
My parents were like this with wall paint! I was never allowed to do any fun colors. Once I have my own house I will be painting every room a deep jewel tone!
I once read this on the internet: "I didn't wait over twenty years to grow up and live alone just to paint my house beige" and honestly I couldn't agree more. Edit: for everyone saying beige is actually their favorite color, chill. Every color is valid! Turquoise, neon pink, black or cream, as long as YOU love what your house looks like!
I want pretty pastels everywhere! As well as an "obnoxiously" bright couch or throw pillows. My parents were never "beige moms" by any means, but they definitely went with default basics for our home; my mom freely admits that decorating really isn't her thing, but she was (and still is) always happy to display our artwork, the quality of which is greatly improved now that we're all adults 😊❤
Would it not be awesome to finally be without the constant chaos of your parents? I like grey a lot more tho, and i use different shades of gray, like dark grey, and bright gray and silver grey and metallic and grey grey :). Ii just love how structured and put together it looks without any effort at all.
@@cinemaatrium3863 right? I get why people want color and I happen to LOVE color. Sometimes I want to feel comforted and not overwhelmed by a room tho...
Considering colors are actually very important for a child's mental development - especially in infancy - this might actually not be far off the mark when the kids grow up.
@@awsheitit's actually important for the eyesight development that they see colourful things, theres a video called The Rise of the Sad Beige Aesthetic that talk about how it affects childrens development
@@awsheit Well for babies, it'll cause them to develop slowly. And when they grow into children, they won't be able to recognize colors because they never learned them.
For all the kids of Sad Beige Moms watching this who may also be getting into fiber arts, I am like 98% sure that the extremely pretty hat FFB is wearing is made from Lion Brand "Landscapes" yarn in the colorway Boardwalk. If'n you wanted to make one for yourself. 🙂
Honestly i hadnt thought about this but I wouldnt be surprised if the whole beige mom thing leads to a generation of young adults who have an aesthetic that is basically “everything is as colorful as humanly possible”
I wonder what the opposite childhood results in. I’m talking bright colors on the walls, even different colored statement pieces, colorful linens and (mostly) white furniture.
@@jennyh4025 if the kids grow up in an outright rainbow, beyond the primary colored bedroom as toddlers, they usually tone it down as adults by picking a color pallet that includes a neutral or two with pops of harmonious colors on the same side of the color wheel. But they don’t ban other colors from the home like these beige moms do. I’ve seen this a few times with the people I know. I think this “sad beige mom” trend is the natural extension of the prior trend of making everything in the home as plain as possible “for the resale value”, even when they plan to live in it for 20 years.
My husband always said he would never put our kids artwork on the fridge because he hated the clutter. The first day my daughter came home with artwork it was a father's day "super dad" Finger painting. He basically ran to the fridge to hang it up. 😂
I may be extra but I deadass frame the good pieces of my son’s art, he’s 6. He has 2-3 frames I switch out the art with from time to time. Shows him that I love it and that it’s worthy of display.
I've done a lot of considering on the subject of keeping my children's art in the future, and I love the idea of rotation artwork, I'd love to have an "art wall" to hang current pieces, and as new ones go up, older ones can come down and go into a "portfolio" that would be amazing for them to be able to look back on as they get older, to reminisce and also see and observe their progress, style changes, and just to have and cherish while still also having current pieces to admire on a wall
Just a reminder to parents: it's very important to appreciate your kids' creations. While going through old stuff recently I discovered that my mom has kept EVERYTHING I ever made for her or in general even if there was no space to display it and it was extremely touching and sweet. Give this to your children.
My parents only did like half their house in somerset beige, but my hair is now electric midnight purple-blue and it's staying that way. Beige trauma is real!
Nah save that shit for when you're about to take photos for the listing. You'll just have to redo it anyway since white doesn't stay clean, and in the meantime you'll have to live with it. Talk about a lose-lose!
@@kinseylise8595 Yeah that's what I never understood, unless you are planning to sell soon why the hell would you do anything you don't want to do to "raise the market value". Just paint it greige when you want to sell it. Though tbh, as someone looking to buy a house, if I'm spending an extra 15k just cause someone painted the walls white then I'd be a fucking idiot. I'll take the grandma's house withthe 70's wallpaper for cheap.
My mom complained about the colors I painted my office. 3 walls are a semi-gloss black, one wall is a deep rich teal. And I have matching teal curtains I made, and I'm about to finish the sheer curtains, which are a night sky pattern - almost black, but with silvery blue constellations and sequins for lil sparkle. She said the same thing about selling the house. I told her "I'm not planning to sell my house, though. I'm living in it."
@@tricitymorte1 its crazy to me everyone's first reaction to anyone doing anything to their house is "but the resale value". Like everyone seems to have just kinda forgot people actually live in their houses!
My dad took pictures of our assignments, art, and report cards and saved them on his computer. He occasionally sends me pictures of old worksheets telling me how proud of my answers he is. ❤❤❤ It's been hard to learn some of the things he can't fulfill for me and to let go of those expectations. I love him lots.
I’m 16 and I actually really like my feint little smile lines and I can’t wait for them to get deeper as I grow up. I’ve struggled with depression for a lot of my life and there were times when I just couldn’t bring myself to smile because of how hopeless I was feeling. When I saw the smile lines pop up on my face, I took that as a great thing because that is physical evidence of my progress in my mental health. Proof that I have been smiling more and appreciating life. And I’m not going to let anybody shame me for that.
My wife grew up in an all beige house and her family was very strict. Now that we own a home it's going to be painted various pastel colors. The kitchen is a blue/teal pairing. I am sitting in an all pink bedroom watching this lol. She can have as much color as her sweet lil heart desires
@dileshamcwashington2430 thank you for your kind words! I'll let her know, it'll brighten her day I'm sure. The kitchen isn't finished, but so far it looks stellar, we have a nice shade of off white with a little bit of blue to it on the trim for the windows and doors that really pops. The teal is for an accent wall that is going to be very eyecatching and be a focal point for a lot of great art to hang up. Already have plans for backsplashes that will look great in complimentary colors. It's been a lot of fun. The most enjoyable part is seeing how happy she is to make our house a home after decades of bland apartments.
@boba_ZYToons that color combo makes me think of a tropical beach for some reason. Cool colors like water with the orange to mimic the sun. Might make for a cool theme for a nautical bathroom. I like your fave color combo. It's complimentary with good contrast, and it's giving me ideas. Thank you for sharing!
My condo was remodeled by a Sad Grey designer before I bought it. I felt like I was in a refrigerator. I didn't have the patience to repaint, so I moved in with a bunch of cherry wood, olive and sage green, lovely warm reds, etc. My kitchen has blue butterflies on the wall and cabinets, with yellow towels and rugs, and my guest bathroom is full of birds and bright orange. My bedroom is mostly white, but I have a bright yellow duvet and a cottagecore quilt on the bed. No sadbeige here!
Every single room in my house except for my bedroom was painted light gray by the people who flipped it before I bought it, and the bedroom is a darker shade of gray. When the realtor showed me the house, all I could think of was “WOW this entire house is a huge blank canvas for bright, funky decor!”, and that’s exactly what I have everywhere now. I even put privacy film on the east & west windows that makes rainbows all over the walls when the sun shines on them. 😂😂😂
Ya my mom's townhouses was all grey! the walls n trim same sad grey...they had grey tiles and grey carpets like wtf smh jail motif?..least we were allowed to paint..kitchen went cherry red (caution...you need several coats to look good and a tinted primer) don't attempt reds unless you are very pacient. Bathrms different colours can't remember, her bedroom mauve. Etc. Not mark btw.
I'm in the exact situation as you!! I can't afford to paint or change my grey ass floors but I've gone hard on colour and it's made me forget about the grey that's still there. Lots of teak, vintage, yellow, red, warm colours, etc.
I had a Lisa Frank backpack and a ton of the stationery, wore mismatched socks and clothes like Punky Brewster. My sisters and I had bedrooms where it looked like a unicorn threw up rainbows and glitter everywhere. We're all three nice, creative people with lots of hobbies. Give your kids color!!
I was raised with no sugar, and I put out a bowl of m&ms every single time my mom comes over. Then I eat them, one at a time, while making eye contact...
@@fireboy2maybeno it’s good actually, I know so many kids who are sugar addicted because their parents want them to be kids…hard to rationalise it when half your family has diabetes I guess. (Half my family literally has diabetes)
I get the wood circles from target or hobby lobby and I let my toddlers paint and scribble on them. They're currently hanging in our living room and the babies point to them and go that's mine!
I am a mom with walls in every colour, art supplies, art and Clutter everywhere and 6 kids. My eldest daughter moved out and got an all white, calm, ultra clean flat. Everything in it is curated. I always feel slightly guilty when I visit her, so, yeah, I love this perspective. 😅
My friend has lots of bks, like 1K prob Her oldest girl never has more than 10 in her house. She gets rid of 1 if she brings another in. She is extremely declutterred too. My friend is almost a hoarder, yep.
my grandparents (both sets) house is.... cluttered. my parents are divorced now, but dad is military grade minimalist 😂 and mom finally get her dream house now that us kids are grown and it is modern, sleek and •°○● empty ●○°• i feel her tho. I like it tidy too.
I grew up in a very cluttered dirty house. My house as an adult is a regular clean with modest decor and I actually have things like a coffee table and it’s actually kinda organized.
You gave them too much enrichment! That's good though, as long as she got to choose her own colors for the things you got her throughout her life. And as an adult I'm hoping she still appreciates everything you did for her and her siblings 💚💙💜
In the 90s, cheap versions of beige mom's would have perfect gold and crystal angel Christmas trees and nothing else dare be allowed on their precious perfection.
Beige obsest people ruind a lot of colours. I looked up, and there are a lot of the shades of brown that actually work really well with vibrent colours.
@ville__stop doing the self promo. if you're a real person you don't sound like it and you're getting reported so if you really care about what you do you might try to not get your channel deleted.
I'm proud of this person for the challenging inner work they are clearly doing. You'll get there, imaginary person!! Keep giving your inner child what they need!
Except, if they learned from their parents' mistakes, they will make their house as colourful as they want, but let their kids decide what their own bedrooms should look like. If your parents give you some freedom, you're less likely want to rebel.
Unless she allows them to decorate their own spaces as they choose. If she lets her children express themselves in their own space, and values their expressions (for example, putting their artwork in an album, on the shelves, to be viewed whenever anyone wants to see it, while still maintaining her aesthetic in her space, and allowing the child to display their art in their own space), then the children will probably grow up feeling free to display their own colors, while still feeling no problems with honoring their mother's. "Here, Mom!" says the vibrantly rainbow-themed adult offspring. "I went to a ceramics class, and made this piece for you. It's one of those classes, where the ceramic part, itself, is pre-made and so you know it will be a fully functioning teapot, but you can color it any way you want. I painted your entire thing white, and added these little slightly different, but still white accents here and there." "Oh, it's beautiful! Just the way I like it! I'll use it to make tea!" "Yay! And I'll drink the tea in this teacup I made at the next class. It's rainbow!"

I once saw a video of a woman who loved the 60s aesthetic and had her entire house match it, minus her kid’s room. She said that the kid could choose to have a completely different style and decorate his room however he wanted. I think that’s the perfect balance: if you like a specific aesthetic go for it, but if you have children let them experiment with what they like too
I saw that video too. Her son even helps her finds 60's items to add to her home
I also like that it shows that his room is his own space and he can choose what he does with that space
That's how we are, I like things to be monochromatic but mostly black. My kids room is bright blue and orange, he chose lol
That’s how it was for me most of my childhood, just had to check with mom first so we could go get the paint or find something to hang with. She had free reign of the rest of the house, but my room was my space.
Then in high school I couldn’t paint or hang anything because the house had to stay like new, so I wasn’t able to decorate for about 5ish years. Off white walls with no hanging decorations is reeaally boring.
I feel strongly about this. Not just decor. Last fall my aunt bought her 16 year old’s back to school wardrobe without her presence or input, and she was surprised when they had a huge blow up. Like, come on - of course she would want some bodily autonomy!
This is played so perfectly that, even though I know it's due to childhood trauma, it sounds like the lack of color was a sin of their past that they must attone for.
The sins of the mother lol
Remember that us millennials had hundreds of skinny jeans of every colour you ever could think of, it scars you for life
Ok this is gonna sound super weird but I just recently rewatched the steve saga and I saw your comments on like every single one of the old videos lol I'm happy you're still active on UA-cam 😊

I dated a guy who definitely had this going on, he’s so maximalist and colorful, it was super fun. It was also really cute to watch him enjoy things with such reckless devotion, it made me appreciate the world in a new light.

He’s so real for that. That’s how I’m decorating my apartment too atm- like I modified a shoe rack to make them enby colors

"You can't just say 'perchance'"
Past tense? Why?
My mother said exposure to all the colors was CRITICAL for a kid's eye and brain development.
Facts. Thank you for saying.
It IS
it is
Awww, she sounds lovely.
It absolutely is, especially studies show now the painting/drawing with contrasting colours turned out to be so important. As a child me and my siblings were given colours to paint with, but black and other too dark shades were always taken away so we couldn't do "ugly" art.... 😬 My mom wanted pretty colours... Which were yellow and red and light green and light blue nothing else. It's real sad that I distinctly remember when I was a child hearing somewhere that all colours combined perfectly would make black, and I spent days attempting to mix black.. Because I wished I could use it for my drawings. And only managed light browns. I was so sad man.
Why is this genuinely so tragic 😭
(Edit: 8,5k???!!???!)

It was a finger painting she did at school.
nah, theyd just straight up not allow it because it might get a little bit of colorful paint on their beige furniture or whatever

Same, but with touch.
My mom hated touching us, so now I hug, pick up, and cuddle my kiddos as much as possible.
As long as you never force them to hug you or anyone else against their will. I was forced to hug and give cheek kisses to any friend of my parents', I hated it to no end and felt like my body wasn't mine because I wasn't allowed to have physical boundaries.

I have kept SOOO many priceless works of art that my four children have given me. I have two dresser drawers filled. Someday, I'll give their individual works to them.
I'm also huge on hanging art on the fridge. When it's old or starting to look like it's deteriorating, I put them in my drawer and put new ones up.
I didn't get that when I was a kid. I'm breaking the cycle.

I try to go through them with my kids when I have to. I feel so bad but when you live in an apt that is less than half the size of a standard trailer, amd no storage I couldn't keep the many bins required for them all. Now in a trailer, we still don't have room but I have room to keep more.
My mom went through a sad beige phase when I was a teen and she redid my room. My bedsheets were white, and I had a big, soft, BEIGE duvet cover. I was not allowed to put anything on my walls.
Now I have a gallery wall in my dining room full of color! She hated it. 🤣
the idea of enforcing a friggin. room dress code for a teenagers room is just so deeply sad. what the hell. self expression and a space for oneself is so important!! glad you have a gallery wall :)
That makes me even more grateful that my parents always allowed me to choose the paint's colour for my room. I mean they weren't too happy with my love of black colour but they went with my choice for purple-blue room😂❤️
@@daughter_of_hades5312 that backfired for me - we built a house when I was about 11 and all three of us girls chose cotton candy pink carpet and paint.

It's ok, though. It wasn't too far off my aesthetic. I made it work. And now I have a space where almost all my decorating dreams have come true.
Yikes. I don't have kids and I don't plan to. But if I did, my tastes would have no bearing on their room. It's their room. If the parent doesn't like looking at it, well bedrooms have doors for a reason.
My mom was mean and very religious she don't like gays.
She didn't like me being gay when I was living with her.
Now I live on my own but mom is still the same there other things she don't like bc of that I have a hard time socializing with other people I live alone and depressed all the time, I hate myself.
I have no friends, girlfriend, no family of my own, no car, broke poor, no job, on section 8 housing, I been stuck in this apartment for ever ( years) and lazy no life of any kind. 😢
Also when my son was about 4, we painted a bedroom wall as a galaxy with sparkles, was magical. Kids deserve wonder, magic and adventure. Im just now hearing of beige moms. Im kinda old though, lol.
Beige moms have been a thing for a long time, but it's definitely become a trend recently. don't worry, you're not that far out of the loop (:
Reading this gave me flashbacks to my mum helping me set up glowing stars in my room after watching treasure planet.

Who knows they may find something completely different that will make no sense to us as a generation but complete sense to them as a generation

Or any alternative brand of colorful stickers 😊
(Just because Lisa Frank company has a history of being very abusive to employees, I live in the city she lives where her brand was founded in and it was a huge controversy here, she was named the worst employer here at one point and people would warn everyone to never ever work there, so the factory is basically defunct now and she outsourced all product manufacture to somewhere else because she couldn't handle running a business and not being toxic to employees, she's also delusional and has a narcissistic celebrity complex where she thinks she's as famous as Michael Jackson because she made some stickers that were a fad for like 13 years and died out. And tried to sue a distributor for not selling enough of her stickers because they weren't popular enough anymore and she couldn't accept that and wanted to take her profit out of someone with a lawsuit to make up for it.)

We were roommates. Our house was so boring.
RAINBOW BOOKSHELF!!!!!!!!!!!!

Theirs probably looked better than your ugly home. It's embarrassing that the "lack of color" affected you so much. The adults are paying for it, so they get to choose what colors are in their home.
When we remodelled our house, I asked to paint my room blue. Mum said sure, and got some swatches. I pointed to a nice sky blue that had a hint of grey to it and she told me it was too blue, pick something else. I went back and forth with her about how it’s my room and I just want a bit saturation but she didn’t let me have more than the off grey that I’m stuck with now. It’s barely blue honestly and I’m really sad I didn’t press the point further cause now my walls look like the rest of her “modern” aesthetic
My parents let me do whatever I wanted in my room.. I can't believe I ever lived in a dark purple room with a neon green desk and teal+pink bedsheets... It was terrible looking back at it but I was happy they let me do whatever chaos of color and patterns I wanted.
i had the signature teal blue walls as my first color choice I made for my bedroom. i got this really tacky pattern block comforter that was all pink on one side, and the other side had a pattern grid with zebra stripes, polka dots, flowers, etc. i covered my walls in cartoon posters. i eventually switched in high school to all white walls and furniture with lots of colorful decorations bc the teal walls and years of posters became very overstimulating.
My mom is the opposite of a beige mom. Most rooms in the house are aggressively color themed (not obsessively so). I loved Fairies as a kid, so I got a pink carpet, pink walls with a custom tree and fairy mural on the wall with periwinkle ceiling. When I was a teenager and tired of the pink she let me paint it a LOUD cobalt blue and I chose to cover the mural with statin peacock themed sheets lol. Now that I’ve moved home to care for a family member I painted it white and uncovered the mural with pink and light green accents. I’m so grateful she gave me so much room to express myself and although the teenage phase in particular is not a style I would do again, she never said a word about it. Love her ❤️
My mom has everything wall white but let’s me do what ever for my room. I’ve got purple walls and teal curtains
I FEEL SO SEEN WHAT??! I had lavender walls with a teal and purple desk and green and purple bed cover.
My bedroom as a child was mint green since I shared it with my sister. There was a hammock above it full of random plushies.
The beds itself used Hello Kitty bedding. (They are twin sized beds.)
Once I was allowed to paint my own room I turned it lavender purple and covered my bookshelf in plush unicorns and other childhood bits and bobs. (And novels/manga)
My eyes burn looking at primary colors but my room at least isn't devoid of colour.
Ah I love walking into my room as if it was a candy store. (Those are bright but in a fun way.)
As the adult child of the OG beige mom, decor-magazines-I-buy-in-the-checkout-line mom, I can say that every knickknack I display is a victory.
And there’s never enough. There will never be enough.

Agreed. My mom was like this as I grew up in the 80s and 90s, never allowing me to decorate my own room or hang up my artwork. Just blank white walls, and my room was a Little White Box.

It’s too much stimuli for my brain to handle, I need neutral colours to be around especially in my own home, otherwise I’d constantly be in a state of sensory overload which I don’t think those who haven’t experienced it understand how debilitating sensory overload is. Sometimes people who reject bright colours aren’t doing it to fit an “aesthetic”, some are doing it to not get migraines every two seconds and constantly having your senses overwhelmed. But I don’t understand not allowing you to paint your own room, that’s your own space and you should be able to take whatever creative liberties you want.
@@_kikizaman_ I'd like to think there's a big difference between having sth like ADHD where it's genuinely harmful and overstimulating to have too many colors and just being an ass about personal preferences and not having compromises
yeah my parents at least let me choose to have colours on two walls in room when I lived there, now after 5 years they renovated my room and every wall is white again and I feel like a foreign body encapsuled in an emotionless box when I stay there. I'm so sorry for all the people who could not choose for themselves and had to grow up like this, I can't imagine how it must feel to have it like that all the time
Wait.... people don't put their kids artwork up? For an aesthetic? I LOVE when my kid brings me artwork. It's up all over the house. Also, if a kid - any kid- makes you something, that's special. Kids don't have money. But they put their heart into those things and that's worth way more.
bare minimum, that's what fridge magnets are for!
Its like the greatest songs mixed tape i made for best friend in highschool. That shit took me like a week to make!
My mom hid everything we made. It was all clutter to her. Christmas ornaments were fine for a month but anything else was put in a drawer for "safekeeping".
my best friend's mom put their MLP art from early middle school up and it's emo inspired from 2005 AMV's. It's my bestie's biggest shame when she walks past it and one of my most favorite treasures.

There gonna grow up with some sort of beige trauma 💀
We'll be back to the 80s and 2000s where vibrant colors reigned
Most likely...and the form will probably turn into seeking stimulation which ovi could lead to drugs
I didn’t even consider the amount beige trauma kids that will exist 😭
Just the sight of an eggshell brings back *memories*
They’re*
What I love about my mom's house, is even though she had a specific way she wanted it, damn, at least it was colorful and fun to look at.
My mom was a ‘blue’ mom. Her favorite color was blue, but the Kitchen was a life of its own. Her fridge was a focal point of color and creativity. So SOOO many paintings, projects, little notes and - as I grew older and traveled - quirky magnets filled the space over the years I grew up. whenever Christmas cards would come, they would get tapped to the under-ledge of the cabinets to display. She was precious of what went up on her walls in the rest of the house, but the kitchen, which was central and seen by all because of the layout of our home, was the display chamber of what her family meant to her.
Years later, when I was at a painting event with a friend, we were recreating a Turkey the instructor was showing. This was one of those places where you can make whatever you want - follow the instructor, experiment with the lesson, or go your own path. I followed the form, but specifically created a palette of blues and purples I knew would compliment my mom’s walls. I won’t lie, if there’s one thing I’ve been able to do over the years, it’s grasp the color wheel and know how to blend to create the shades I want. The end result has graced the central wall of Mom’s dining room every November for Thanksgiving since she first saw it when I brought it home :-) Just a little call back to wanting to display her pride in family mixed with my grown-up respect of her personal decorating style.
Stop this is so cute 😭😭😭 I hope everything else about your relationship with your mum is just as wholesome as this. And if it’s not I hope that you can treasure whatever good there is
I love this story, you and your mom seem awesome and I just want to comment on how BEAUTIFULLY you write 😭💜 this story was told so well
Awesome mother raises an awesome child.
I wish I could see your turkey picture! ❤
My mom threw out all my childhood artwork, by the end of the day in which it came home. Not a single thing of mine was allowed to be anywhere but my room, not a book, a toy, a coat. Same for my brother. Other than formal family portraits, the house was to look as if no children lived there.
My grandma said she would trow the drawing books from my 7 yo bother away
I said no and kept them together with all my sketch books, even the ones she had separated o trow away, i have a lot of drawings that he made in random papers too, my grandma says that i like keeping "trash"
Like, she kept my drawing books, why she couldn't keep my brother's books?
I am so sorry
Of course you like keeping trash, that's the only reason you kept her in your life so long.@@Banannyan
O damn. That's not ok, respect for your journey through that 🙌🏾🌟
Certainly makes me feel better about my decision to ignore the fact that my kids have stuff in every space in my home 😂 I keep telling myself it will be tidy when they move out until grandbabies come along and my walls are once again plastered with kid artwork and my couches are lined up with toys in various scenarios 😂
okay but the thing with hanging up your childhood drawings is actually such a great idea! I‘m currently doing some rly intense inner child work in therapy and I think framing and hanging those drawings would be a cool way of further validate and uplift my inner child :D
Man I don't have my childhood drawings anm
@@Brainzeater69 I do this with things I color as an adult if that helps, I have a super fun animal coloring book and my fiance loves to see the new ones I put in the office💕
I don't have those anymore. xD
But even if I did, I wouldn't hang that on my walls. I wasn't an artist and I don't need child scribblings all over my walls. But to each their own, of course!
It 1000% is. It gives the child so much validation and encouragement. It also makes them feel very special and loved. They don’t even know it’s happening their brain is just soaking it all in.
My husband hangs my adult coloring book pages on our fridge for me when I finally finish one and it’s really healing and cathartic for me so yes I fully encourage this behavior!
Forever grateful to have an alt/former goth mom that decorates the house with nightmare before Christmas snd horror movie decor, funko pops, drawings I’ve done when I was younger, and lilo and stitch plushies
These Children are going to love and cause a Revival in Maximalism design
Edit: I just re-visited short cause I was bored lol I have these likes noice.
These children could influence Colours back to Grey-Black and Red coded Palette that Society just so happens to adopt.
Vehicles will be brighter and will stand out more in public, Pastelcore will be thriving and Maximalism will affect Music and Literature, bringing back more Late 1800s to 1960s styles.
It will not just affect Design but all forms of Art, just imagine an old brutalist Buildung with a sprinkle of Greenery and 1960s interior
It's already started to happen, though it's not yet mainstream!
younger millennials are gen z are already leaning heavily into maximalism
that's at least one upside to sad beige moms
YUUUUSSS I'm not even a maximalist but like "beige mom" aesthetic is bad I'll take it!
I love maximalism!! My younger sister is a hardcore minimalist it’s a wild contrast
The type of movie villain you root to win
My grandmother was a big fan of sanitarium "eggshell white".
Everything... doors, doorknobs, walls, moldings, bed sheets, pillow cases, kitchen appliances, the carpet...
This is my in-laws whom we bought our house from, everything in it was either eggshell or beige. I'm still slowly working on fixing it. (painting is expensive and a lot of work 😞)

My mom was all about greys, off whites, and blue-grey colors. Needless to say, my whole home looks like a unicorn threw up on it.
That’s exactly how I describe my place. My landlord painted a mural, he keeps saying I can paint over it and hell no. There’s flying cows!
@@JenSell1626rare landlord W, who wouldn't want to live with the flying cow mural
I would say a lot of the Millennials who do the beige and neutral color schemes are reacting to the style they were raised with as well. Keep in mind, many Millennials hated the bright neons and clashing patterns of the 90s because it felt too overwhelming to them so they overcorrected. I'm not saying I agree with it, I think kids need color, but it's a reaction all the same.
And then the person above will have children who rebel and only decorate their homes with gray and white and the cycle unfortunately continues.
My parents were like this with wall paint! I was never allowed to do any fun colors. Once I have my own house I will be painting every room a deep jewel tone!
that must be traumatic for you, I'm so sorry
I love how she's shamelessly living her truth but she's still thoughtful enough to provide sunglasses for guests. :)
I once read this on the internet: "I didn't wait over twenty years to grow up and live alone just to paint my house beige" and honestly I couldn't agree more.
Edit: for everyone saying beige is actually their favorite color, chill. Every color is valid! Turquoise, neon pink, black or cream, as long as YOU love what your house looks like!
we gotta #LisaFrank it up! 😂🌈❤🧡💛💚💙💜💖
I want pretty pastels everywhere! As well as an "obnoxiously" bright couch or throw pillows. My parents were never "beige moms" by any means, but they definitely went with default basics for our home; my mom freely admits that decorating really isn't her thing, but she was (and still is) always happy to display our artwork, the quality of which is greatly improved now that we're all adults 😊❤
I love the color beige tbh. I’d love a beige house with warm tone brown cabinets
Would it not be awesome to finally be without the constant chaos of your parents? I like grey a lot more tho, and i use different shades of gray, like dark grey, and bright gray and silver grey and metallic and grey grey :). Ii just love how structured and put together it looks without any effort at all.
@@cinemaatrium3863 right? I get why people want color and I happen to LOVE color. Sometimes I want to feel comforted and not overwhelmed by a room tho...
80s child of a "sad blue mom" here. I totally feel this!
Considering colors are actually very important for a child's mental development - especially in infancy - this might actually not be far off the mark when the kids grow up.
What happens when they only see beige and grays? What kind of psyop are these companies running?!?
@@awsheitit's actually important for the eyesight development that they see colourful things, theres a video called The Rise of the Sad Beige Aesthetic that talk about how it affects childrens development
Thankfully they have school and hopefully their friends house is colorful
@@awsheit Well for babies, it'll cause them to develop slowly. And when they grow into children, they won't be able to recognize colors because they never learned them.
For all the kids of Sad Beige Moms watching this who may also be getting into fiber arts, I am like 98% sure that the extremely pretty hat FFB is wearing is made from Lion Brand "Landscapes" yarn in the colorway Boardwalk. If'n you wanted to make one for yourself. 🙂
This is truly a sharing is caring moment right here. TY for sharing that info for all the other victims of their sadist beige only parents.

As a fellow fiber artist, I would also bet on the Landscapes yarn. That stuff is gorgeous! I have SEVERAL of their colorways in my stash!

Honestly i hadnt thought about this but I wouldnt be surprised if the whole beige mom thing leads to a generation of young adults who have an aesthetic that is basically “everything is as colorful as humanly possible”
It's already happening
like the sparkle dog ocs of 2009, the way God intended
I wonder what the opposite childhood results in. I’m talking bright colors on the walls, even different colored statement pieces, colorful linens and (mostly) white furniture.
@@jennyh4025 if the kids grow up in an outright rainbow, beyond the primary colored bedroom as toddlers, they usually tone it down as adults by picking a color pallet that includes a neutral or two with pops of harmonious colors on the same side of the color wheel. But they don’t ban other colors from the home like these beige moms do. I’ve seen this a few times with the people I know. I think this “sad beige mom” trend is the natural extension of the prior trend of making everything in the home as plain as possible “for the resale value”, even when they plan to live in it for 20 years.
@@jennyh4025 That's where the "Sad Beige mom" comes from... Too many millenials traumatised by cluttered 80s and 90s maximalism.
My husband always said he would never put our kids artwork on the fridge because he hated the clutter.
The first day my daughter came home with artwork it was a father's day "super dad" Finger painting. He basically ran to the fridge to hang it up. 😂

Thats adorable 😊
Well how could he deny that? Lol. Did he keep putting stuff on the fridge?
Perfect@@ChristinaMoralesMindfuqed
Peak man moment 😂❤
I may be extra but I deadass frame the good pieces of my son’s art, he’s 6. He has 2-3 frames I switch out the art with from time to time. Shows him that I love it and that it’s worthy of display.
Your son is lucky to have you as his mom 🥹
How lovely! He must be so proud of himself and you ❤
As someone who's studied interior design I love this. Your home should reflect your family and who lives there!
I've done a lot of considering on the subject of keeping my children's art in the future, and I love the idea of rotation artwork, I'd love to have an "art wall" to hang current pieces, and as new ones go up, older ones can come down and go into a "portfolio" that would be amazing for them to be able to look back on as they get older, to reminisce and also see and observe their progress, style changes, and just to have and cherish while still also having current pieces to admire on a wall
There a picture frames for exactly this reason! They keep all the pictures in one place and you can rotate them.
This is so sweet!
Just a reminder to parents: it's very important to appreciate your kids' creations. While going through old stuff recently I discovered that my mom has kept EVERYTHING I ever made for her or in general even if there was no space to display it and it was extremely touching and sweet. Give this to your children.

I have this reaction whenever my mum suggests (again) that we paint our entire house white on the inside “to raise the market value”.
Nah save that shit for when you're about to take photos for the listing. You'll just have to redo it anyway since white doesn't stay clean, and in the meantime you'll have to live with it. Talk about a lose-lose!
@@kinseylise8595
Yeah that's what I never understood, unless you are planning to sell soon why the hell would you do anything you don't want to do to "raise the market value".
Just paint it greige when you want to sell it.
Though tbh, as someone looking to buy a house, if I'm spending an extra 15k just cause someone painted the walls white then I'd be a fucking idiot. I'll take the grandma's house withthe 70's wallpaper for cheap.
My mom complained about the colors I painted my office. 3 walls are a semi-gloss black, one wall is a deep rich teal. And I have matching teal curtains I made, and I'm about to finish the sheer curtains, which are a night sky pattern - almost black, but with silvery blue constellations and sequins for lil sparkle. She said the same thing about selling the house. I told her "I'm not planning to sell my house, though. I'm living in it."
@@tricitymorte1 its crazy to me everyone's first reaction to anyone doing anything to their house is "but the resale value". Like everyone seems to have just kinda forgot people actually live in their houses!
@@Arissiah my living room is pastel purple, my bedroom is peach and used to be a vibrant grass green. I love colour ❤
"I like that you painted your ceilings with the shrimp colors. Don't know how you did it but I respect it."
I like to paint my ceilings sky blue
I don’t know whether to laugh or cry . My mother’s favorite sentence was , “that’s too loud!” Loud was a synonym for bright colors.
My dad took pictures of our assignments, art, and report cards and saved them on his computer. He occasionally sends me pictures of old worksheets telling me how proud of my answers he is. ❤❤❤ It's been hard to learn some of the things he can't fulfill for me and to let go of those expectations. I love him lots.
Okay remind me in 10 years to do this for my future kids
You can put "but it's not enough" with a tone drop at the end of any monologue and it will make me grab my chest like I'm Caesar getting assassinated
100% like I feel so bad for the kids missing out on all the colours!
I’m 16 and I actually really like my feint little smile lines and I can’t wait for them to get deeper as I grow up. I’ve struggled with depression for a lot of my life and there were times when I just couldn’t bring myself to smile because of how hopeless I was feeling. When I saw the smile lines pop up on my face, I took that as a great thing because that is physical evidence of my progress in my mental health. Proof that I have been smiling more and appreciating life. And I’m not going to let anybody shame me for that.
Grew up with a sad beige mom. Most my furniture is pink now 😊
Guess you‘re a cheerful pink daughter then 😉
BARBIE IS THAT YOU???
My wife grew up in an all beige house and her family was very strict. Now that we own a home it's going to be painted various pastel colors. The kitchen is a blue/teal pairing. I am sitting in an all pink bedroom watching this lol. She can have as much color as her sweet lil heart desires
Love the blue kitchen idea and pastels sound like such a pretty choice. Bright without being overwhelming
@dileshamcwashington2430 thank you for your kind words! I'll let her know, it'll brighten her day I'm sure. The kitchen isn't finished, but so far it looks stellar, we have a nice shade of off white with a little bit of blue to it on the trim for the windows and doors that really pops. The teal is for an accent wall that is going to be very eyecatching and be a focal point for a lot of great art to hang up. Already have plans for backsplashes that will look great in complimentary colors. It's been a lot of fun. The most enjoyable part is seeing how happy she is to make our house a home after decades of bland apartments.
What a wholesome happy ending 😊
@@andrewlikesmetal1095 honestly it would look so good. teals and oranges and blues are my favourite colours. mostly teals and blues tho
@boba_ZYToons that color combo makes me think of a tropical beach for some reason. Cool colors like water with the orange to mimic the sun. Might make for a cool theme for a nautical bathroom.

My condo was remodeled by a Sad Grey designer before I bought it. I felt like I was in a refrigerator. I didn't have the patience to repaint, so I moved in with a bunch of cherry wood, olive and sage green, lovely warm reds, etc. My kitchen has blue butterflies on the wall and cabinets, with yellow towels and rugs, and my guest bathroom is full of birds and bright orange.
My bedroom is mostly white, but I have a bright yellow duvet and a cottagecore quilt on the bed. No sadbeige here!
Every single room in my house except for my bedroom was painted light gray by the people who flipped it before I bought it, and the bedroom is a darker shade of gray. When the realtor showed me the house, all I could think of was “WOW this entire house is a huge blank canvas for bright, funky decor!”, and that’s exactly what I have everywhere now. I even put privacy film on the east & west windows that makes rainbows all over the walls when the sun shines on them. 😂😂😂
Ya my mom's townhouses was all grey! the walls n trim same sad grey...they had grey tiles and grey carpets like wtf smh jail motif?..least we were allowed to paint..kitchen went cherry red (caution...you need several coats to look good and a tinted primer) don't attempt reds unless you are very pacient.
Bathrms different colours can't remember, her bedroom mauve. Etc.
Not mark btw.
Cherry wood is the besstt. Yes, it's soft and rather impractical, but it's *so pretty!*
I'm in the exact situation as you!! I can't afford to paint or change my grey ass floors but I've gone hard on colour and it's made me forget about the grey that's still there. Lots of teak, vintage, yellow, red, warm colours, etc.
@@Rhaifha all of my cherry wood is vintage, too (I'm all about secondhand treasures). So any nicks and dings just add character. :-)

And their kids will rebel with all white or grey everything... The circle of everything
Except, if they learned from their parents' mistakes, they will make their house as colourful as they want, but let their kids decide what their own bedrooms should look like. If your parents give you some freedom, you're less likely want to rebel.
Unless she allows them to decorate their own spaces as they choose.
If she lets her children express themselves in their own space, and values their expressions (for example, putting their artwork in an album, on the shelves, to be viewed whenever anyone wants to see it, while still maintaining her aesthetic in her space, and allowing the child to display their art in their own space), then the children will probably grow up feeling free to display their own colors, while still feeling no problems with honoring their mother's.
"Here, Mom!" says the vibrantly rainbow-themed adult offspring. "I went to a ceramics class, and made this piece for you. It's one of those classes, where the ceramic part, itself, is pre-made and so you know it will be a fully functioning teapot, but you can color it any way you want. I painted your entire thing white, and added these little slightly different, but still white accents here and there."
"Oh, it's beautiful! Just the way I like it! I'll use it to make tea!"
"Yay! And I'll drink the tea in this teacup I made at the next class. It's rainbow!"
