I can't imagine it

Our new apartment is a whole lot of white. The prior owner made bland design choices: white walls, white cabinets, white tiles, white counters, white knobs, white everything. Like a sterile hospital room. E says it'll look better once it's filled with our things, but I can't imagine it. Interior design is not my forte, 1 so I'm happy my MIL is so enthusiastic about helping put our new home…
