Before and after house painting from @thechristycarlsonromano

The creator stands outside a bright yellow house she just purchased, explaining the color is the main problem. After a brief comedic exchange, she shows the equally yellow interior of a bedroom. She then reveals the same bedroom transformed with a neutral off-white paint color, concluding that millennials can see a home's potential.
