Glad you like the colors Lawrence. We actually left the house white on the outside, and with barely a pink cast off white on the inside for quite a few years. We wanted to get the feel for where the house was headed, before we just started rolling paint. We've now painted the interior twice. The first time, with similar shades, but cautiously in the middle of those color swatch "book marks" you get at the paint store. That seemed very bold to use at the time.
In preparation for the home tour, my wife got fired up to repaint and this time, she wanted hues that were at the very bottom of those swatches. She repainted the entire house inside herself, and it's as good in person as it is in the photos. She hand painted all her cut-ins with a narrow brush, and then rolled the open spaces. No masking, no covering furniture.
All of the colors have some special meaning to where they are in the house. Pink and aqua in the kitchen and laundry alcove are specifically for the Westinghouse twins. The rose in the living room is for that sofa, and it's matching "his" and "hers" chairs that are done in gold and blue respectively. Same goes with all of the other rooms, as well as the exterior. And for the record, the colors aren't her doing, they're mine.
LOL...Supersuds, you found me out. And now the world knows, if you can keep an ADO-16 alive, you can fix up an old house. The TV is a Montgomery Wards "Airline" brand from '56 or '57. It was given to us by the next door neighbor, an old man who sold us this lot. He purchased it brand new. I'm sad to admit that I gutted it and put a color tube inside, along with the circuit boards and remote.
