The owners forgot something...flamingoes in neon colors.

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.

If you noticed the picture of the closet has been removed. Nicely appointed shelves, with wire hangers, and lots of women’s clothes. Closet didn’t have any mirrors.

Agreed. Color reflects the owner's personality.

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.

My guess is one or both of them is an artist.

WOW !!!!!!!!!!! I absolutely love it. Everything about the house is wonderful. Also the lani color actually highlights the outdoors brings it all together perfectly.

The furniture along with the art work must have cost a small fortune. This home is nothing short of " Stunning " !

[Sgroemm]

The colors in the two homes make me feel happy....I think they are just beautiful and tastefully done.

If you watch HGTV's House Hunters, you would be surprised at how few young people are willing to paint if they don't like the color(s). The millenials want their houses to be perfect and handed to them on silver platters.

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.

Or perhaps the wife was overruled by her husband! The adage is that more men than women are color blind.

Everyone has their own taste.

The first thing I thought upon seeing it is it belongs
