House-hunting..I remember one house the real estate agent showed me before I bought the house I posted. Mind you....it was the same listing price.

After a tour of the downstairs, the agent suggested that we take a look at the upstairs bedrooms. She opened the door leading to the stairs.....pushed aside the coats, dresses,trousers, etc.... and to my suprise the stairs were there. In order to get upstairs...we had to go through the walk-in closet.

Boy, am I glad I didn't buy that one.

Well, I always thought that open staircase in my old house was a waste of space. But I never considered converting it to a walk in closet!

I actually did see a house whose interior was all purple. Every room! The COUNTER TOPS in the kitchen were lilac! The wallpaper was purple and lilac FLOCKED. The CARPET was purple! Mind you, this was 1980 and the prevailing colors were earth tones and/or avacado green/harvest gold. NONE of my furniture would even blend with that...it would have required thousands of dollars to redecorate that home, a two-story colonial!
