Who does that????

[LaurieS]

did you ever break open a etch-a-sketch? 

[stilltryen]

Wasn't there some kind of movie a few years back about a town having a snake problem?  And it was traced back to a house or cave or something? (This is what happens when you get old.)

I watched "Snakes on a Plane."  Does that count?

Holli and Pam.. are those older houses with the wild color themes?

Yes, mine is an older house.  Have to ask DH when he gets home the year it was built.

The bathroom and DD's room are the only wild colors lol.  I did an hollywood glamour type bathroom with lots of old black and whites of actresses like Greta Garbo.  The rest of the house is pretty minimalistic, pretty much like Jeff Lewis on Flipping Out.

Courtney, I hope you feel better soon. I'm having a yuck day too. It helps to laugh, but if you continue to spit hot tea on your keyboard I'm going to have to say something. Here I am on WWU, minding my own business, when ***fffssshhhh**** here comes some hot liquid out of my computer, right into my face!

Hang in there, C. We're with you.

I can't read what you wrote, Pen. The print seems to be running....

[pam1]

I'm not much of a pink girl either but the original tile (is that what it is called lol) in the shower was pepto pink.  And then I had an idea and just ran with it.  You'd like Courtney -- have to figure out how to post a picture.

We bought a house once that had pink walls, pink carpeting and yes, pink appliances! LOL!

What's inside an Etch-s-Sketch, Laurie? Little gremlins running around?

[LaurieS]

1950. The tile is gray blue...it's pretty by itself. The pink tub though...I don't know how that happened...

That's whats known as a good  sale going on.

[LaurieS]

Actually yes I did break one open once.. we thought it was mercury and played and played  in the stuff.. good thing it wasn't... not sure what they did use hmmmm.  But I figured if she took apart a doll's baby bottle to see how it works, the etch-a-sketch was next.

YOU bought Jayne Mansfield's house???

[luise.volta]

Naw....just a cheap imitation...

[stilltryen]

We bought a house once that had pink walls, pink carpeting and yes, pink appliances! LOL!

When we were looking for a house to buy, we saw a house that had bright red carpet in one bedroom, purple shag carpet in another, a bathroom that had dark brown tile ALL over - walls, shower, etc.  (it was like a black cave walking in) and the coup de grâce?  The kitchen.  The cabinets were painted lime green, the doors of the cabinets were bright orange.  The appliances, of course, were avocado green.  To quote the subject line, "Who does that?"  We passed on that little gem.

[luise.volta]

Oh, I forgot to mention that the kitchen cabinets were pink, too! We bought it because it had 180 degree view of Puget Sound and we knew we could eventually un-pink it! 

[stilltryen]

Oh duh, if red carpet/purple shag/dark brown tile/orange & lime green cabinets with avocado appliances had had a view of Puget Sound, I'd plunked the down payment so fast the poor realtor would have gotten whiplash!  Can't blame you for the pink house at all.  The view would have been worth every Pepto-Bismol moment!!!
