I would reject some paint colors as they would be difficult to paint over.
Like red. I actually do love the color red. It would depend on where it
was in the house. I had been tempted to paint a portion of our kitchen red
but opted not to. And then there is wallpaper. I hope to never have to
strip it again!

Where my mom just moved to, things were fine for the first couple of days.
But then she was awakened at 2:00 a.m. every morning by military jets. And
then all of a sudden, commercial jets came by. As in very near her window!
Seems the little airport that is somewhat near by changed what they do there
and also the flight patterns.
