[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would rather have a house that has personality than a house that looks like everyone else's - like a follower.  Middle school is over, ladies. [/quote]

My kitchen is 26 X 15 with 9 foot ceilings, sporting an 8 x 3 foot island with cooktop in its eastern end.  Twenty-five year old Toll Brothers home in 22039.  Mostly builder basic appliances bc I"m Thoreauvian about some things..

When I decided to remodel it, I had Mirage maple floor installed to replace the (yuck) builder basic linoleum.

East wall I selected BM Million Dollar Red (to honor the rising sun)  Other walls and ceiling are No Nonsense Yellow.  Pantry door, French doors to sun room, door to basement are Hills of Ireland Green.  Door to powder room is NNY (visual joke some of you will get).  Trim is Peach Brandy.   Door to garage is MDR.

I've owned my home free and clear since settlement.  Ignored all that advice that "the smart money carries the biggest mortgage it can."  Yeah, right.  Why be a debt serf if you don't need to be?

I selected those colors to please myself.  Intend to stay here until I croak, so I don't care what the next buyer likes.  I'd coat my walls in coagulated bat guano before I'd follow the crowd with  "Realtor beige."

I agree with the PP who said anyone with a credit card and internet connection can have a Pottery Barn home, that it shows no sense of style (or belief in one's own judgment) at all.  [/quote]
