AIBU to ask if I can report my neighbour's bright blue house?

Crediting you for my new username 😅

I love them too. They are way more interesting than beige and pebbledash. I think when I go on my next 'mental health walk', I will use picking out the coloured houses as my mindfulness exercise 🙂

Sorry OP but I think you will just need to get used to it. This time next year you could have blue at one side and green at the other side!
Personally I love the painted houses. Its becoming a lot more common where we live that the terraced houses are getting painted bright colours. It seems that it only takes one house to star the trend then others join in. The row at the bottom end of our road has 7 houses each a different colour, I quite like it.

A house near to me painted itself a very bright colour. It was pretty gross looking. A while later the colour was changed to a paler version. It’s not in a special area. I am not sure if the council got involved but I heard the neighbours didn’t like it. So it’s always worth an ask if it’s that bad. They seemed to be made to change it.

how much time do you spend in your back garden staring towards your house / at your neighbours house? just turn around!

Was the car Mikanos blue as well? 😆

This wouldn’t bother me. It would definitely bother my nosy interfering neighbour, you have given me a good idea. I am fond of bright colours.

😂 was it @Katey83?.

If this is real, you are being ridiculous and very entitled. Its not your house

Years ago a neighbour knocked on our door to tell our guest to move his car because she could see it out of her window 😂

I don’t think you’ve got a leg to stand on OP. There’s a house near us a really sickening shade of Parma violet lavender. Legend has it he had an application for an extension objected to by neighbours so in response painted the whole house the most offensive to the eye colour he could find. I have to admire him…

Love this 🤣

I think a good compromise would be the neighbour tones down the blue, but uses glow in the dark paint to write a, erm.... "nice" message in 2 foot letters to CF OP that shows up at night.

What a beautiful shade.

Inspired by all the talk of colour on this thread, I have ordered https://www.farrow-ball.com/paint/pea-flower-tea www.farrow-ball.com/paint/pea-flower-tea]]]] this for my front door, together with new door furniture 😁

Be grateful you don't live next to me then, my little terraced house has been terracotta, then pink, and is now purple! All my neighbours say how cheerful it looks, and delivery people love it, as its so easy to find! I honestly think that unless you are in a conservation area, or your house is listed, your neighbour can paint it whatever colour they want. Sorry.

You must live a very miserable life if this affects you so much.

Some people have different tastes to you and that’s ok.

Are you always this controlling?

Portree and Tobermory are both very pretty and well worth a visit, OP!

You could create your own version of them - paint yours pink and join in!

I laughed out loud that you told her it’s not to your taste and asked her to change it. I don’t think she cares if it’s to your taste or not. Did you really think she would change it just because you don’t like it?

Also you mention in one of your replies you wish she would at least compromise. What is a compromise here? She either leaves it blue to suit herself or goes back to beige to suit you. What’s a compromise/middle ground in this situation?

Ah jesus I'd be covering the whole windows in temporary paper blinds in that case. Or you could just paint them blue?

My neighbour has windchimes fucking everywhere and fuck me, the amount of times I've planned a heist to get rid of them. I swear to god she put them there to piss me off, and it's working

I feel inspired now to paint my house in bubble-gum-pink and magenta stripes.

But this house was in a conservation area and yours isn't.

The OP made quite a point of telling us she is not in Bristol. Whereabouts are those buildings? I lived in Bristol in the 70s and houses in Totterdown were colourful then although not all in good repair at that time.

This is probably true, but I doubt many would have the gall to knock on their neighbour's door, insult their taste and then ask them to go to the expense of repainting their property to a colour more to their liking.

Most people would draw the line at whinging to their mates about it.

Someone may already have mentioned Totterdown, Bristol? Sought after for its colourful houses!
