The House in Westmoreland (1980)
The house had much to be done to it though. It was well kept by the couple prior to us, but they were older and had very different taste. Some of the carpets had to be removed, and the walls had to all be painted. My room had wall paper; white with big black 70’s looking diamond shapes on it. The living room had immense bright flowers on the walls and the bathroom had fancy gold, velvet wallpaper...that was particularly nice.
Keeping with the idea that I was a little girl, we decided on pink as the color scheme for my new room. They went to the hardware store and picked out a color, had it prepared and then painted my walls. The color turned out to be not quite what we had bargained for. It was milkshake pink and gave us all headaches to look at. Eventually my quarters would have to be repainted in a lighter, more acceptable shade that didn’t glow when the lights were turned off at night.
