 How Much Would You Pay to Paint a Kids Bedroom?

These are the same sort of questions which have been raised in previous posts about foreclosures. The bottom line is that some people lose their home due to circumstances out of their control such as job loss, but some people simply spend more than they should.
Obviously, I don't know the case here, but I suspect the latter.

That mural wasn't for the kids. It was just for showing off to their friends when they had dinner parties. Just like the ridiculous foyers and decks that could be be heliports.

when I was a teenager I remember being SO excited because my parents let me choose the color that I wanted for them to paint my room. Probably $5 for a gallon of paint.

I agree with Mr.K. I come across those silo like entry foyers all the time and just imagine the waste of heating and cooling needed.

I did a home several years back in Mississippi that had Winnie the Poo and friends. It even had a fiberglass tree that grew out of the corner of the room the limbs formed a canopy over the bed, no telling how much that thing cost! It was in a repo home as well, but the owner lost the house because it was seized by the FBI/SEC/IRS. The former owner was an ousted World Com (Bernie Ebers company) executive, not one of Mississippi's finer moments.

If I had my daughter's room painted like that, she'd grab a handful of sharpie markers and add a whole bunch of her own touches to it.

Sounds like ya know of what ya speak. I gots three of 'em. Just drove to Tennessee to inspect a home the middle one bought (with the help of Scott P). How many ya got?
Two in high school. They both had to have new dresses for homecoming. Their cousin's dresses were not good enough. Ugh. I am weak.

Oh, I'm in big trouble then. At least she likes to help around the house. Laundry day is more entertaining than the TV.

Tom, that's a really cute little girl.
She's so cute that that I know you'll understand why I think a DNA test is in order.

I kinda like it too. It doesn't seem all that excessive.
I might do something like that for myself......

OMG! That's a garage door? I swear-to-God that I thought I was looking through a huge window from inside cabin in the Alaskan wilderness!

Really an interesting thing to read here. I really just hope that as you have choices to make for your kids bedroom, the paint would definitely compensate the kids beds of this one. I just hope that things would work out well in this one. Thanks for this one!
