DH has painted one wall of our bedroom bright fucking yellow. This is grounds for divorce right?

I hate feature walls.
It hurts my eyes.
I like white.
And grey. Grey is nice.

AIBU?

Use the rest of the paint in dds room. It's important she learns from such comments.

LatteLoverLovesLattes · 23/08/2014 15:44

White walls are only 'stark' if you choose the wrong white and/or have no design skill with the rest of the stuff in the room.

Wonc have you braved looking at your lovely duvet yet?... and did you ask him why the fuck it was still on the bed & not covered up.

Mid life crisis is the only thing that explains this level of stupidity!

What's the pink bit on that colour pic?! Surgical pink against dry Colman's mustard is ghastly! I'm not surprised you want to do him some damage! (And I'm a fan of coloured paint, sorry)

I had a yellow bedroom once.

It was a lovely, pale primrose colour and ?ith blue accessories etc it gave a really pretty feminine country feel.

You, op, have the colour of congealed egg yolk. I now understand your ire.

It would be like waking up to sunshine every day.

HappyAgainOneDay · 23/08/2014 16:13

I've seen the swatch now and it's not like sunshine. It's more the colour of the clouds just before a snowstorm. it's also the colour of bile, isn't it? It needs a few bits in it if it is sick.

enormouse · 23/08/2014 16:26

It looks more like waking up to the actual sun happy, as opposed to gentle, pale sunlight on a winter's morning.

Which would actually be quite nice as a colour and make me revise my stance on yellow.

IAMACLANGER · 23/08/2014 16:29

It's exactly the same colour my old school toilet walls used to be painted!
Your DH does a good straight line though eh! Probably need a few coats of grey to remove it though.
Our hall used to be painted bright yellow. I hated it. It's now a lovely shade of 'durge' (sort of grey/beige mix).

waithorse · 23/08/2014 16:51

It isn't very often, I genuinely laugh out loud on here. But his comment that he thought you'd like it because your phone was yellow had me in stitches. Grin Grin Grin

Tikimon · 23/08/2014 17:02

LTB. He can't even be trusted with himself. Grin

Really it should be illegal to even sell that color at the store.

deakymom · 23/08/2014 17:09

i quite like yellow in the kitchen and my bedroom is creamy yellow on three walls but it really sounds like you're living in an egg! Grin

wait till he goes out then repaint it yourself?

deakymom · 23/08/2014 17:11

just found your pic YOU DO LIVE IN AN EGG!!

Stinkle · 23/08/2014 17:17

I like pale, creamy yellow, but that is horrible.

I came home from work once to find DH had painted our entire living room in the most revolting shade of terracotta I'd ever seen. He had a day off, got bored and done it on a whim.

MissPenelopeLumawoo · 23/08/2014 17:34

Oh no, that's the mustard colour we have in our living room- I love it, and you all hate it!!! Have all my visitors been secretly hating it over the years too?? I am crushed ( I would not like it in the bedroom though)

goodasitgets · 23/08/2014 17:36

Is he doing the "proud puppy" look because he thought you should have a room that matched your phone? GrinGrin

LineRunner · 23/08/2014 17:43

My OH cut down most of my apple tree today . We had agreed to cutting back'. My DS had to step in at one point, as I was screaming something about 'it looks a dessicated stump in a fucking desert'.

Yellow bloody bedroom walls. Ffs.

enormouse · 23/08/2014 18:11

Must be something in the water. Dp has, whilst I was getting dinner on, dressed himself and the DSes as various Doctors. Him - Peter capaldi, DS1(2.9) - Matt Smith and DS2 (7months) - Christopher eccleston.

And has asked if I'll be David Tennant. Hmm I have no words.

It looks like there's the world's smallest who-con going on in my living room.

LineRunner · 23/08/2014 18:24

At least you don't have to dress up as Rose. Grin

My DD went to see Billie Piper in Great Britain and said that afterwards at the stage door there were many blokes with what can only be described as Rose crushes.

Pipbin · 23/08/2014 18:28

I had that in the first flat DH and I had, that was in 1999

HotPinkWeaselWearingLederhosen · 23/08/2014 18:45

Emormouse

That's ALL kind of awesome

Bettercallsaul1 · 23/08/2014 18:52

At least the living room the Doctors are assembled in is not painted egg yolk-yellow, enormous. Be thankful for small mercies.

BoneyBackJefferson · 23/08/2014 18:56

I can think of lots of responses but I think that the most helpful one is :-

Its called DIY for a reason

enormouse · 23/08/2014 18:58

It is yellow better. Though not as…err…vivid as woncs yellow. There's currently a small argument breaking out between number 11 and 12 because Matt Smith wants to go out now. And show off his outfit.

Whilst eccelston looks on from his jumperoo.

This is very surreal.

Ifyourawizardwhydouwearglasses · 23/08/2014 19:00

It looks like calf scour.

Or breastfed baby nappies?

Poor you OP!

Bettercallsaul1 · 23/08/2014 19:01

My husband wouldn't dare do this - he's too yellow.
