Comments from the owners: When people enter our house the first thing they say is "Wow". Probably because of all the color but the best reaction we ever got was "this looks like a Happy House". I loved it because that was my first reaction too. I have a theory about being attracted to so much color. We're from northern CA and there is so much green, and flowers grow profusely, so while I've been in AZ I love brightly painted walls and furniture and everything bright because I miss the color. If you like gray and neutral, this house is probably not your thing, but it could be toned down, I guess. We love this house but have decided to move closer to our kids. It was a hard decision because we love Tucson and have been here for over 25 years. We'd love for someone to enjoy our house as much as we have.
