    I’ll second the last bit. I’ve got too many friends who bought their houses and they’re so insanely worried about “well what if the paint color on the outside makes people not want to buy the house” or whatever. That’s (hopefully) a problem that’s years and years in the future, and you shouldn’t have to worry about it. Don’t worry about how other people might see it - it’s your house, and you should do things that please you. Always wanted a bright pink bedroom? Go for it.

      Yep, for me that’s the number one principle of home ownership - it’s my house, I’m gonna make it the way I want it. If the time comes when I sell it, somebody will like what I did. Even if some real estate agent insists that I paint everything white, I’m never painting a fucking brick fireplace white.
