But holy pantry! Actually, I don't think it's that bad. The colors suck, but given the age of the house the walls likely haven't been painted over *too* many times and I would guess they would have fewer flaws.

Clearly they like blue.

lshoes, that house isn't so bad but yes I already feel tired thinking how much painting that needs to be done.

Kaylie, OMG! That listing is crazy! I used love blue but I have never seen blue in such way ever before! Its like the deep blue ocean threw up in there! That house needs more than just repainting! Oh the blue carpets! Yikes!

[kaylie]

We have a LOT of crazy listings in our area. I'm jealous of everyone in the more affordable locations because you can get way better houses for less money. I can't tell you how many places we looked at that had clearly been decorated by a blind person.

This one is new to the market - they have a wall sized starry night painted on a bedroom wall: homes.longandfoster.com/Real-Estate/PropertyDetails.aspx?79-BLUEBIRD-RD-NORTHAMPTON-PA-18966-1905&MlsCompanyID=16&MlsNumber=6059156&FromParnter=true

We were fortunate to end up in a house with neutral carpet and only one funky colored room. =)

Is that...gold??? On the walls??

Those are crazy!

Whoa, that's some strong paint. I wouldn't want to paint all of that, but for the price and size, I would find the strength to do it.

That is a ton of blue! The blue carpet and wrought iron, wig me more than the paint.

That house is actually fairly tame.
Take a look at this one!

Holy crap! Replace the blue with cotton candy pink and that's what my house looked like before we bought it. Not the outside, but all of the inside. I don't think that i'd buy a house if I had to repaint the outside.

I know we talk about this occasionally, but this house needs repainting badly. There are so many bright colors I can't tell if I even like it. I wouldn't want to move in and feel like I HAVE to paint the whole place.

Wow! So much house for that price! I wish we could find something like that in our area

I once lived in a rented town home where the previous owner was married to a Mexican. The living room and dining room were painted primary red and orange including the trim. The kitchen cabinets were periwinkle and I can't remember the wall color but it was god awful. The master bedroom was stark white with one BLACK accent wall with a giant white lily painted on it. NO LIE!

Even though I was only renting it I re-painted EVERY.SINGLE.ROOM including all the trim and kitchen cabinets. It took me months. When she had painted the kitchen cabinets she also had painted all the hardware periwinkle too. I replaced all that too! UGH! What a job!

Prior to me moving in she had a very hard time renting it. It looked like a completely different home...Hell it was a completely different home!

Once I was ready to move out the landlord literally had to do nothing but show the place. It rented within the first week.

I just do not understand what people are thinking when they chose all these crazy colors.

o.m.g.

The blue one was bad, but this one really takes the cake.

There is a house down the street from us that's white with aqua shutters, about the color of that interior. I would love to ask them one day whey they chose it. The house is otherwise fairly normal looking.
