This year I’m trying to regain my analog world after the NAZI TORTURE CAMP is done for a while. Taking more walks and longer walks, looking at blocks I haven’t seen in years. Today I noticed a house for sale, fairly rare this year.
It’s an ordinary ranch type, renovated by NVest. The renovation includes big frames around the windows and a NEON GREEN!!!!! front door. No screen door to mute it, just a big wide NEON GREEN!!!!! practically illuminating the whole block.
What were they thinking? This neighborhood has a wide variety of sizes and styles but subdued colors. White, gray, slate blue.
The flippers in the northern end of the neighborhood are doing a beautiful job of matching the new houses and new surfaces to the existing shapes and colors. NVest should have learned from their example.
Later: Here’s the listing, which doesn’t do “justice” to the salience of the door. The picture shows that the rest of the house is in fact white, gray, and slate blue, but I couldn’t see those colors behind the glare of the door.
Well, maybe they know what they’re doing. The DOOR got me to look through the listing, and it’s a nice interior renovation, leaving some older features in place. The front door is new and the inside surface is white. So it’s not a used door that accidentally happened to be green. They painted it on purpose.
