I like having an orange (okay more creamsicle) house. In instructions to delivery people, because Google and other map things are screwing it up, is that if you aren’t delivering to an orange house, you have the wrong house. It isn’t like there are a lot of orange houses. But we’re getting the house ready for sale, so the orange has to go.
But something happened. As you can see from the upper (or featured) image it got painted black. This is not a color known to make houses sell like hotcakes, unless the market is full of Goths.
There was some miscommunication.
I’m sure this will get corrected and house painters have to give a wall a few coats of paint. So this one coat should be fine. I hope.
A black house is kind of cool, but not temperature wise. Black absorbs heat and as edgy and cool as I might think this would be (and a fun shock to the Realtor) the air conditioner wouldn’t appreciate it. I’ve seen other black houses in Truxton Circle, okay one. I wonder if those houses were painted black due to some miscommunication.
Really sorry to hear that y’all be moving (and that so many other families have already moved!). I’ve been reading your blog since before I moved to the neighborhood, so will be hard to imagine it without you!
Best of luck to you, your husband, and your son as you make your move and search for a new place!
