Nothing Brown Can Stay

Nothing Brown Can Stay, by J.R. Cage


My room's first brown was taupe,
The hue of sand and rope.
At first it made me smile,
But only for a while.
Then taupe faded to tan.
So monkey sank to man.
So I'll paint it white or gray.
Nothing brown can stay.

The room looks so pretty and comfortable.

I love the headboard and the curtains/swags and the pillow on the bed! Is this your room? It is really lovely! How could you not feel relaxed and calm in such a room? Wish mine looked as nice.

This is the way it looked when I first decorated it, but the curtains shredded when I washed them, and then turned brown when I didn't wash them again. Now it's just a brown room, and I need to paint it something I like better.
