Selling/buying a house - do you care what colors the walls are either way? - Page 3

Colors do have an effect on your impressions of a house, even if you know that you can and would repaint. Also, Id prefer not to paint a house I am buying and If I did need to I would consider it an increase in the purchase price.

I once walked through a house with a royal blue dining room, pink bedroom, puuuuurple bedroom, and, oh yeah, chair rails. No f*ing way. Call me what you want, I'm already doing all the other work by myself, no way in hell I'm painting too...

Neutral colors on the walls ftw.

As a prospective buyer, I have a hard time visualizing a place as being "ours" if I'm distracted by different colors, etc. Having a neutral, uniform color scheme inside your house is a good idea.

Paint never affects the price of a house, it only helps it sell faster.

I painted my bathroom Eggplant, just to piss off whoever ended up buying the house.

You can't not buy a house, just because one very small room is Eggplant.

I overheard the guy who bought it, telling his wife they'd have to paint the "Purple bathroom".

Purple? Ignorant motherfucker couldn't tell the difference between Eggplant and Purple, so fuck him.

Yeah, what a jackass......everyone knows that eggplant and purple are completely different.

Someone in here want to tell Jeebus that eggplant is purple? No.

Me neither

Oh REALLY?

Well then, Miss. Smarty-Thongs, if Eggplant is the same thing as Purple, then why the fuck do they call it "Eggplant" ?

Because it's not purple, that's why.

Don't believe me? Ask Homeslice.
