Mark P Posted November 8, 2011 Report Share Posted November 8, 2011 This was a typical size kids room in a forclosure I inspected today. I was told that the previous owners paid $5000 for this one room to be painted. Granted it is very well done, air brushed I think, but it makes me wonder if they spent that sort of money on a paint job, where else did they spend/waste money and maybe if they have been more carefull the house would not have been in foreclosure.

AHI in AR Posted November 8, 2011 Report Share Posted November 8, 2011 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Kibbel Posted November 8, 2011 Report Share Posted November 8, 2011 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim Maxwell Posted November 8, 2011 Report Share Posted November 8, 2011 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allseason Posted November 8, 2011 Report Share Posted November 8, 2011 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottpat Posted November 8, 2011 Report Share Posted November 8, 2011 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Meiland Posted November 8, 2011 Report Share Posted November 8, 2011 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikebreman Posted March 14, 2012 Report Share Posted March 14, 2012 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
