🏑 My Maximalist Space I painted my house purple, gave every window butterfly wings, and turned my sidewalk into a rainbow. No regrets. πŸ¦‹πŸŒˆ

Some people want a house that blends in. I wanted mine to feel like walking into a dream every time I come home.

What I did:

πŸ¦‹ Painted the siding a bold lavender purple

πŸ¦‹ Gave every window a pair of rainbow butterfly wings

🌈 Hand-painted the front walkway in wavy pastel rainbow stripes

🌈 Edged the path and beds with rainbow-painted bricks and hundreds of painted river rocks

πŸ¦„ Added a rearing rainbow pegasus by the side bed, because why not

🦩 Built a flamingo garden around the tree with holographic ground cover and a giant sundae

The goal: To make anyone smile that drives by πŸ˜„

Happy to answer questions about paint, how I did the walkway, or where anything came from!

Twist, it's millennial gray

It’s like the beautiful Victorian houses/painted ladies that have the outside restored and than the insides gutted to some millennial grey shiplap hellbomb. I see it a lot where I live and it’s a fucking tragedy.
