If you go to the Villages website look at resale homes.
This house is a Seabrook and is listed at $819,495.
Probably the most unusual house I’ve ever seen.

We'll they weren't afraid of using a little color. Not the plain white walls like you see in many houses.

Wow, that is by far the most interesting house that I have ever seen where color is concerned. When I see houses like this I often wonder if the owner is an artist. It may not be everyone's taste but it definitely flows and is well put together.

I agree!! Whomever the homeowner is they're not afraid to express their love of color. Some folks would rather play "safe and boring" with neutral. If it's not to the buyer's taste, they can always re-paint it!!!

Well couple of coats of glitz will cover up some of the dark colors.
It’s the mirrors in the kitchen on cabinet fronts, that have me confused. But if you will notice the entire house has mirrors of some sort and every room whether it be the desks, on the walls, nightstands,kitchen island front. Must have to buy windex by the gallon.

I see a house where the owner has a love of color and enjoyed the beauty of each area. I love the bathrooms and can feel the peacefulness of working at the desk in the Lanai.
The colors are obviously louder then most people would chose. Many home buyers come in and re-paint a house to their liking no matter boring or bright. Mirrors on kitchen cabinets are a problem. JMHO

I agree with you. However, it would cost thousands to cover that up with a neutral color. Hopefully some buyer will just love it, or love the house enough to factor in the painting cost.


You almost have to buy it turnkey, furniture and all!

Yes, the mirrors are the only thing that would really bother me.
I believe you should decorate your home to your lifestyle and taste. When it is time to sell invest in making it more neutral, it will pay off.

Friends of ours had a 1200 sq. ft. condo in South Florida. The LR/DR walls were all painted with "Caribbean" inspired colors...a wall of turquoise blue, adjacent to a wall of tangerine, adjacent to a wall of lime green. And the walls were decorated with framed artwork collected through the years, large and small, hung ceiling to floor. It was beautiful.

Maybe they liked the house but not TV, when we were cruising ,-met a gentleman who did tons of research -bought a 58' Kadey Krogen--6 months later the boat was for sale-his reason was, liked getting and having the boat built, but hated cruising

Maybe a similarity. liked building and decorating the house--but didn't want to live in it--the house looks like it has very little mileage

It's so hard to do this tastefully, but I think they have achieved it. They were a little edgy--past Caribbean pastel and shore birds--with their colors and decorations, and I think that pulls it off. I wouldn't have the nerve, but I love it.

It is my hunch that the owner(s) either won a lottery or inherited so much money that they got carried away. Reminds me of a friend who inherited so much money that she had a house built with a kitchen big enough to feed an army. Three years later she realized her mistake and sold the house

I rather doubt that they did it themselves. They probably hired a designer to do it.

We had a friend in Melbourne who inherited a bunch of money. They had their house built with a pool that had a train going around it. They hired a designer to buy all the furnishings, paint, the whole works - even importing 100 beer mugs t o line the shelves in the den.

Before taking occupancy, they sold everything they had back in CT and ordered two Cadillacs to be delivered to them when they arrived at the airport, bringing only a file box.

Then they purchased clothing and toothbrushes.

Six years later they went bankrupt.

So as one poster here said, the best way is to paint everything in neutral colors, have SS kitchen appliances, granite, granite, granite countertops, and fancy bathrooms. These people are not able to think outside boxes.

To facilitate selling a house, staging it as if though there was no mileage, is a must these days.

Real estate photographers use a lot of bright strobe flash to make the interior much brighter than it is. Houses here in The Villages are not normally that bright. Plenty of solar tubes are used to bring light into the center of houses here for that reason. Even though the colors are there, I would expect it to look a lot different in person, especially on a darker day. All those deep colors might look quite a bit more darker and depressing if you saw it in person.

Absolutely love it! Had these colors in my last home (not the dull blah green - we like bright colors), and have them in our new home. Terra Cotta Red, Turquise, Sun Yellow, and Tangerine. When put together right, they look fantastic, and make you happy every time you walk in the house.

I don't understand why I see comments where folks say "I love it, but I could never do it". If you love it - why wouldn't you do it? Life is too short to be dull :)

I also agree that current buyers can't see past the colors - which again I don't understand. That has never stopped me. If you like the layout, like the price, it's only $2,000 or less to change the entire home - just lower your offer. We had to repaint our last home to sell - it killed me to go with ice blue (more like a blue gray).

Also, as an FYI - all of those colors will easily cover with one coat - two at the most. Just use good paint any color is easy to cover.

I have to admit I keep going back to look at the pictures of this house - happy, fun is a good way to describe the feel of it. I can't imagine using such intense colors in a small house though. Since you seem to know something about this, with a smaller house would it work better to paint just one wall in such a bright color versus the entire room?

One thing's for sure, if this house ever lists as an open house, I bet this thread will result in quite a few visitors. :)

I have seen this done both ways, and it can work for either. The amount of color you want to use really is dependent on just how adventurous and daring you are. You don't want colors that clash. Having a single wall in a bright color will really make it pop, so select the wall with that thought in mind.

I don't like white, black, grey, or beige... they make me feel blah, so the first thing we did was to select a primary background color that would be used on most walls - the same way most folks use white, grey, or beige. In our case we selected a muted yellow. It's bright enough to feel cheery, but doesn't dominate the rooms. Then we selected accent colors to make the lines in the house pop. In our case we used a fairly bright Turquoise on the rear wall of the living room, and as accent on the walls that go to the foyer and dining room. As you move to the kitchen, the turquoise gives way to Terra Cotta Red.

My study and the master bedroom are tangerine... because it makes us happy, and because tangerine (or orange) evokes creativity and energy :)

Bright colors are not for everyone, but if you find you like them, once you put them in your home it's impossible to go back to the norm. I honestly don't care if other folks don't like it -what is important is does it make you happy? I have had comments all over the place - from "I need sunglasses in here", "It's a hoot!" (real comment from a realtor - haha), to the other end - "Gorgeous", "Warm", "Happy", "Alive".

I guess I like to wake up every morning and get reminded how bright and fun life can be!

Realtors in our area up north are often recommending the same. I have noticed that many houses up here that have done that, along with some minor upgrades and updating, have sold very fast and usually at or close to asking price versus comparable houses that have not done so.

Realtors also stress up here the importance of the quality of the photos that are posted online. According to the realtors the younger generation, because of their busy lifestyle, filter everything online first and will totally blow off any home with not so great pics.

Haha....I should be having one. We are getting rid of a lot of stuff trying to prep for going between 2 houses in the near future. Want to keep everything as streamlined as possible.

If we try the paint idea, it will probably be in the TV house. It's much smaller and will be easier to fix in case it ends up looking like something out of the '60s - lol.

Steve from Kling Painting has the Natural ability to help you select colors that would be tough to try to figure out on your own. He helped me before the mistake happened in two different rooms in our little house. Its time to be a little daring as we close in on the finish line. Some Florida colors in our life are nice. Just Nothing crazy in the bedroom color wise, soothing colors are best.

Wow, you are really negative about all this. Making a lot of unsubstantiated statements. For one thing, I know quite a few young people willing to roll up their sleeves and make a house their own. We helped some of them.


This house obviously makes the owners happy and was well done. I don't understand why so many negative posts.

I bet it is beautiful. I am a pastel kind of person but I have a friend who uses bright colors for accent walls and her house is beautiful. It is just paint and people should not be afraid to try something other than vanilla.

Less than a year to go til we retire to TV...woohoo! Thanks for posting the links to those 2 homes - that's *exactly* what me/Northerners think of Florida. We want the pop of beach color, the feeling we're living in Key West (pls don't burst my dream bubble!). Sure, it's out of my price range, maybe I'll paint a closet in some wild/wacky color. Husband & I in DC driving down NY Ave to get onto 395, rundown/sad section of town, and passed a 1900 (yes, over a century old) row house, in the process of being reno'd, and the sign in front read "2 Miami-inspired condos coming soon." We were LOL!! Have *never* heard anything in DC being compared to Miami. And it's the most beige-ist colors ever...each condo for $1.6 million.

While muted in comparison, this house for sale is also a tad colorful.

Yes, while it somewhat muted, it is also nicely done. I especially like the lanai- serene and a nice accent to the pool. Also, the wood inlay in the ceilings are different.

Beautiful home, beautiful setting. Looks like something out of a magazine. Very tastefully done.

The house in Lake Deaton is open today from 11:30 AM to 1:30 PM. May walk down the street to take a look.

I think it's spectacular! It's refreshing to see something out of the ordinary and I think they have a fabulous decorating style. Not my style, only because it's not practical (the mirrored kitchen cabinets would be full of fingerprints in my house) but I appreciate their design flair. LOVE IT, absolutely LOVE IT!

I do like it. I'd love for it to belong to a friend so I could visit.
BUT, far too many mirrors for me. I don't want to see myself that often...
