I like the counters and the yellow's not too awful. Ditch the blue...boring.

the yellow is good. the blue - if you went with grey in the bedrrom would be nice and calm

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
And for the full range of opinions...
I think the yellow is too much, but the blue could work as long as you don't accessorize with solid colors. I do love the floors and the grounds though.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
And for the full range of opinions...
That does cover just about the whole range, at least colorwise.
Oh wait, no..I have one more.
I think my real problem with the blue and yellow is having them together. My high school's colors were blue and gold, and I am not sure I could live in a place that looks like John Muir High School threw up in it.

A very valid choice.
Also, the icky Bruins colors.
For some reason, and I honestly have no idea why, I felt compelled to point that out.

Good point. I'd balk at living in an apartment decorated in purple and gold (translated--yellow), the colors of the "Purgolders." How lame is that for a name?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
My high school's colors were blue and gold
So were mine, both high schools.
My problem with the counter is that I need my counters to be smooth, both for food prep and cleaning.
I've noticed my new place has no broom closetty thing. Where do people without those keep their mops? I hate mops. Which is why I have a Swiffer WetJet. But it still occurs to me I don't know where to put it.

Mostly lurking...

We keep them all stacked up between the stove/oven and the wall right by the front door. It's really a lovely site for guests to see as they walk in. But, really, there's nowhere else to put them.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Between the stove and the wall in one apartment, in the back of the hall closet in another.

too many counter in Ca - esp up here are tile. and til with huge lines of grout between them. I have seen some with tiny lines of grout which look and work better- Some day I will replace my counter with a solid top. Of course, some day there will be more counters.
brooms and thing like that are in the hall closet. next to the vaccum cleaner.
