#3 House
You buy a house and make it a home right? You do what you want with it....from the stuff you keep inside the house to the color of your house, you get to decide what you want and what you don't. Because it's your house after all!
How many of you have received death threats because you painted your house in the color of your choice? Well this couple did!
A Harris County, Texas, couple are facing the wrath of unknown people because they painted their house....
#2 Teal!
Keely and Peter Dubrova wanted to make their house seem more like their home by painting it teal, a color they happened to like and was approved by their homeowner's association (HOA).
"I wanted to know this was my sanctuary," Keely says.
The backlash started when an anonymous realtor posted a picture of their home online asking other's opinions on the topic of property value and aesthetic appeal. That's what began the harsh backlash.
"Everything from 'white trash Californians, what are they doing here' to 'we want to hang them,'" said Keely.
#1 Repaint?
Just a week and a half after the HOA initially approved the color of the Dubrovas' house, the couple received a letter asking them to repaint.
The realtor said that she did not intend for this to happen and regretted her actions deeply.
"So we are a little confused,"Peter said. "Are we in compliance or not?"
"I think it's cute,"neighbor Amanda Dennard said. "It does look cute like a doll house, but it doesn’t fit in the neighborhood."
"I'm not too fond of the color of the house, but didn't think they should be punished like that," Theresa Nichols, another resident of the community, said.
"This is our life," Keely said. "We live it for each other. We've worked hard to afford something like this and I feel like people are squashing our dream."
