FINE FINE FINE! You have forced me to take pictures with my camera phone. I still can't find the actual camera. I am going to take video soon so you can get the full effect of the colors and how they DO NOT BLEND AT ALL.
This is part of the back yard...there are lots of bald spots in the yard due to the fact that the previous owners were burning things in the yard. Not sure what that was about. Getting grass to grow is a project long in the future.
This is Kitter acting like she wants to come outside. She isn't an outside kitty. As a matter of fact, when I opened the sliding glass door, she stuck her head out and quickly decided it was too hot.
This is our kitchen. It is orange during the day, red during the night. Most people that come over say they like it. We do not feel the same, sorry. It HAS to go. The counter tops also need to be replaced and the cabinets need to be repainted. Other than that it has a new stove, new dishwasher (GO ME!) and a pretty decent fridge. All the shit piled up is stuff we haven't found a home for yet. It is a process.
Here is one view of the living room. My couches fit wonderfully in this room! This view is looking into the kitchen. Note that the kitchen was red, with a blue accent wall and the living room is yellowish, with a DIFFERENT blue accent wall.
Another view of the living room.

Ferret room/litter box room/play area for ferrets
Bright ass blue guest bathroom. The linoleum flooring in both of the bathrooms are like this. Horrible. Both bathrooms will be tiled and have new vanities soon. OH and new paint jobs.
View down the hall from the ferret room...the glowing green room. I know, the colors are killing you, aren't they?!?
The green room aka guest bedroom

Master bedroom
My ultimate goal here is to show you how the house looks in complete disarray, so that when you see the final result it will be even MORE dramatic! I didn't even bother to put away my laundry or make the bed.
I also didn't take a picture of the master bath, walk in closet and garage. I will remedy that soon!

You should have gotten a picture of the double door handles on the front door. That was the best part!
Mitzy - AW MAN! I SHOULD have...that was amazing!
The previous owners really loved color, didn't they? Whoa! A little is okay but it looks like a 2 year old decorated. :)
The blue in the guest bathroom I like...just in a smaller amount. My guest bathroom had a similar blue on the walls, but only as an accent.
We are approaching the 10 year mark in this house and I'm FINALLY starting to replace the flooring in the basement. Oh well, it will be done eventually.
I love it that you have a ferret room, how many people can say that? LOL
Is the blue bathroom going to be the "Grand Cayman" theme one? Maybe the blue would look good once you have your pictures and other stuff in there... I am mailing your package tomorrow.
I agree, most colors need to go and it would make a HUGE difference!
Wow. It sure is... colourful.
Mel - I think you have to see the bathroom up close, cause the photo didn't do it justice. It is a horrible paint job with a horrible flat paint that needed at least three more coats. It is a bad blue...not the good kind! I think I am going to pay someone to put down the tile...I don't know enough about that and I think my frustration level would be too much!
Sunshine - the guest bathroom WILL be Cayman Island themed...but we aren't keeping the blue. When we get the pictures we are going to pick our favorite colors from the pictures themselves and get a paint match done! SO EXCITED! Looking forward to getting them!
Capt - yes, yes it is. Tip of the day when coming to our house: wear sunglasses!
Wow...I would never put that many colors together. And so nearby one another. Um. Wow. You need ALOT of primer.
Pictures! Yay! Pictures! That red, and the living=room orange have GOT to go. The blues in those two rooms are okay, and I like the color in your bedroom! Cosmetic stuff is so easy, mechanical stuff is the hard stuff.
Ok so the neon green room is my room? Can we switch rooms? I like the color on your bedroom walls.
(Why oh why are these word verifications so interesting now. I can't make a comment without pointing it out.. today's is efauted. As in, "Do you smell that? efauted!")
Lilli - I have advised strangers to go ahead and take up stock in Kilz.
MAW - it is ALL going! We gotta get some warm, neutral colors up in that mo fo. I just need to feel relaxed when I go into a room and not crave a burrito.
Deb - yes, the glowing green is your room. But you can totally come sleep with me and Krystal. PARTAY!
And I am not sure what my word verification is doing to you, but it obviously likes you!
As in slumber party, right? And watch Disney movies? Like crawl into bed and watch tv like you did that time at my house (which I admit was kind of cute, you coming and getting into bed with me with both of us with bed head) lol
I wouldn't know what to do with a girl.. much less 2 of ya. LOL
(WV is bodedly, hahahahaaa)(And no, I don't know why I find that so funny.) (I just do.) (shaddup)
Seems like a good house to get high in before you re-paint.
Deb - TOTALLY! Slumber party all the way! Bed head and all! I think bodedly is exactly what you do with two girls!
Trooper - the point was brought up! It was said, "Wow, sure wish we still did drugs...we could throw up a mirror ball in this place and have a blast!"
Wow! Now that's some eye stimulating stuff right there! I love the set up & like us, we're still living out of boxes and disarray but in a few months, all of us will have our sh*t together! It looks great though --- so happy for you!!!!!!! I want a Skype tour soon! :)
