Not only good photos, but an interesting story as well. Maybe you could start a "tell a story" thread!

Why would someone paint their front door purple?

My mother actually did that to the front door of my parents house when I was in high school. It was f--king ugly. They've since gone back to a more normal color 😛

I've seen the footprint thing before. Those look painted on. Best one I ever saw was done with a stencil, started on the floor at the doorway of the room, working the path around various pieces of furniture, then up the wall to the ceiling, and ending at the top of a window. After the child got a couple years older, he requested that the room be repainted without the footsteps. Any fad gets old after a while.

These weren't stenciled. I am certain they were real. You had to see them in person, and if you knew the people that lived in this house....they were my grandparents' neighbors. From what my grandpa and my dad have told me, holding a little kid by its ankles to stamp red-paint footprints on the ceiling is exactly something they'd have done.
