I mean, I know men, left to their own resources, usually have no decorating style, but this was more than eccentric. And the photos the realtor had did not even capture an “nth” of what was in this house. The realtor let us know that originally the owner was not going to change anything inside that he thought it would sell like it was. She convinced him to remove some of the aquatic elements from the house and start painting the rooms because they were all electric blue. There were quite a few other things in that house that I couldn’t even discuss. They have finally removed the listing from the market after having been out there for about 6 months. It has not been sold. And no, the new house has zero aquariums…I can’t even watch Finding Nemo without cringing…and I love that movie! :-) Hugs!!!Benitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02712521705008463049noreply@blogger.com
