After all, who wants a boring green house when it could look like this!:o

Oh my daughter has just squealed on seeing that house.

It's pink, ergo it's perfect!

Practise that face!!!

mummytotwoboys · 16/08/2011 14:44

mummytotwoboys · 16/08/2011 14:45

There's a pic of my house on my profile. You can see it's a nasty mustard and brown (last painted in the 70s). It will look soooo pretty pink. Husband just has no vision :o

this house has been allowed to stay this colour but had to remove the ads, so no rules against pink houses! Grin

Kladdkaka · 16/08/2011 14:50

Tina, that one's gorgeous too. Without the ads though.

I think the kind of houses are the only kinds that look good in bright colours, what kind do you have? Try googling "painted lady houses"

skgnome · 16/08/2011 14:51

you just have to do it... and keep practicing the face

itisnearlysummer · 16/08/2011 14:52

I think a pink house might be the way to go!

LolaRennt · 16/08/2011 14:53

i love these

Kladdkaka · 16/08/2011 14:53

Lola, my house is a wooden one too, although quite a bit smaller and plainer. There is a small pic of it on my profile.

LolaRennt · 16/08/2011 14:54

Oh that will be so cute, with lovely white trim

Kladdkaka · 16/08/2011 14:55

Lola, he's gonna love you when he finds out he's got to build a turret for me too. :o

LolaRennt · 16/08/2011 14:55

you need to throw in a stained glass window somewhere too

LolaRennt · 16/08/2011 14:56

It has to be done kladdka one mustn't do things by halves! Grin

Kladdkaka · 16/08/2011 15:02

I have a cunning plan. I'm going to tell him I want this one, and then negotiate down from there.

DizzyKipper · 16/08/2011 15:06

I would actually be pretty annoyed if my OH did this, not that there's much danger of him doing so, I would really dislike having a pink house. Any colour should be discussed and agreed on together, therefore YABU. But I guess I'm the fuddy duddy in this thread lol

DorisIsAPinkDragon · 16/08/2011 15:07

OMG that last one HAS to be styled by Disney (Good starting point for negotitions tho'!)

Kladdkaka · 16/08/2011 15:15

Dizzy, if I thought my husband would be annoyed I wouldn't do it. I know him well enough to know that he'll roll his eyes, mutter under his breath about 'never getting any bloomin respect in this house', all the while being secretly amused and also relieved that I haven't accidentally bought another dog/cat/rabbit/tortoise/other homeless critter.

Pink is a very traditional colour for older houses in East Anglia.

Honest.

itisnearlysummer · 16/08/2011 15:23

I think my DH would love that Disney-esque house!

ViolaTricolor · 16/08/2011 15:54

Yes quite, piprabbit, much of Suffolk looks like a candyfloss factory. The houses match the beautiful pigs Grin.

AuntiePickleBottom · 16/08/2011 16:03
