Oh my! We had the same experience with our house 9 years ago, except every room and every carpet was PINK! Carnation pink! It took us about 4 months before we couldn’t stand the pink anymore and we ripped all the carpet out. That was GREAT fun, let me tell you!

The place was 2-stories, and that carpet covered all the rooms on both floors (except the kitchen, thank goodness), plus the stairs. Then you went to the garage and the trussing beams that showed below the drop-ceiling were painted that same green. And the previous home owner left a green street sign with his name on it (Paul) over the door.

Our instinct about putting green was right. Paul apparently liked golfing because there was a mural in the garage that was an aerial view of a golf course next to the sea.

The kind of sad thing was the owner obviously thought he knew what he was doing. The kitchen had beautiful travertine floors, the fireplace was upgraded with a floor to ceiling marble that was neutral, and that horrid green carpet was a really good quality – plush and relatively new with no stains or high-traffic marks. Even the stairs showed little wear. But if we bought the condo I would have had to rip. out. every. last. piece.
