Take the Memories, but Don’t Leave the Paint

DSC02367

In honor of Talk Like A Pirate Day, I bring you this undersea adventure room.

 

And yes, the ceiling is painted in the water motif too.

 

I’m sure the child who lived in this room adored the dolphin and all the custom paint.  But when it came time to sell, the owners were too emotionally attached to the paint job to repaint the walls with something more neutral. 

 

And this house sat on the market for a long time, slowly coming down in price.  And the owners moved away.  And they got to take all their lovely memories of this room with them - and still didn’t repaint it, even though they’d already left the house behind.

 

And the house sat on the market longer.  Because it wasn’t just one room painted in an, ah, unusual manner.  It was the whole house.  And finally, someone picked it up on the cheap, and turned it into a nice place.

 

Memories, you get to take with you.  Your paint job - not so much.  Holding onto this paint job cost the owners tens of thousands of dollars.
