Words on the Walls - Page 2

It wouldn't appeal to me, but I would like to think that if somebody has put the house up for sale that they would paint over that to give the property more universal appeal. It's just good sense.

I wouldn't put so-called inspirational words on the walls of my house. But maybe this family was just trying to de-personalize their house for marketing purposes. So they replaced the family photos with the word "FAMILY."

@chickenbutt

I agree with you. It can be a nice touch but not when selling a house since you want it to be more neutral to appeal to buyers.

@Kachina624. When I went to book club last week at a different house, "words" were every where!!! Sayings stenciled on the walls, stitched on pillows, our coffee mugs said things like "Wake Me When Coffee's Ready" or "Caffeine Is My Wine", etc.

I joked with my hostess after the house tour that "I felt like I had already read next month's book" (I have no filter). Not exactly tacky, but overdone at this point and every where I look, something to read is tiring...not relaxing. Would never do it in my home.

Give me some neutral walls, neutral furniture and bright colored framed art work or wall hangings.

They're everywhere. Go to HomeGoods and you'll find huge ones, small ones, cutesy ones, poetic ones....buy them in a group, buy them individually, buy them mounted on a board. Some people stencil them on their wall, some people hire those who will paint them in script on their walls, some buy sticky ones that you smooth on the walls.

I hate them.

How could you have such a strong reaction to such a simple thing, which no one is requiring for you to use in your home? They are simply a trend right now, and will pass as all trends do.

Graffiti for the Home

I have one in my house over the front door that says "Home is where your mother is". I like it. Since it's my house, I don't care who doesn't like it.
