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.

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.

We have a red accent wall in our livingroom. Each time a new person comes to our home they love the out of the box color. 3 have asked for the name of the color, and used it in their home. It’s just paint, you can change it in a couple of hours.

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.

It's not even a very good view!

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!

Bring your sunglasses.

Looks like this house is still for sale.

Wow! Very unique!

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...
