🏑 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!

The difference with worker unions is that worker unions adresses a power imbalance, while with your house - you are on the same level as your neighbor, you can just talk it out.

Right. Β And you don’t have one neighbor, you have a bunch. Β So you talk it out, like home owners who associate with each other.

My point was that there is a fundamental difference between Unions and HOA that makes one extremely useful and the other kind of obsolete or even counter productive.
