      I kind of like it too. When I was 12 my parents asked what colour I wanted my bedroom painted. “Purple.” They painted it off-white. I’m over 70 now and still have never had a purple room. My kitchen is pale grey ffs.

      Off to look at paint charts …

        Bro you’re 70, paint that shit whatever you want and when you die in that house it’s the next owners problem not yours. It’s not an investment at your stage like it is people in their 30s painting everything white or grey so they don’t offend future buyers.

      Fr, was super confused/surprised to see all the comments agreeing that it sucked. I saw it and immediately wanted it.

        Ah, I understood immediately how ugly it was. It’s my kind of ugly and I’d never tire of it, but I understand. Purple is a lot, especially such a bold purple.

      For marketability, it’s horrendous. While I’m open to dramatic, unique, and off the wall stuff it’s still not my taste.

      BUT! I would absolutely take advantage of the discount I’d get on the property after it’s spent over a year on the market. I also wouldn’t be in a rush to remodel, but would look for ways to highlight it till the novelty wore off.

        Yeah, everyone has an ugly that speaks to us, purple veined marble is apparently one of mine. And that’s part of the beauty of people. Seeing this makes me more sympathetic to the people who love neon animal prints because I too have terrible taste in my own way.

    I love purple or other weird colors/ features in houses. It means I can get the property with less competition as most buyers are afraid of basic renovations.

    My house had shitty purple walls and weird space age looking chrome light fixtures everywhere. Took me a while two days after closing to paint and replace it all. I was the only person who had put an offer in.
