Yea, but it's the steps, trim, and ramp too. I'd keep the white but change the blue to more of a neutral color like gray. I would have someone take care of the mud dauber or wasps before every visitor.

Piece of advice, leave the blue be. At least for a while. Things you don't like, others might. So post it up for... a year or two, in that blue, especially since it's clean and dandy, and see how it bites. This is a piece of advice with a few houses under the belt. Just because you (the owner) don't like something, doesn't mean others do, works in reverse as well. Very important lesson.

Matt, keep the porch roof painted blue. Once I painted the porch roof on my home blue (Robin’s Egg Blue) I stopped having bugs, spiders, and the mess that comes with bugs, on my porch. You might consider a lighter shade of blue though. The former owner may have painted the house white to keep it cooler in the summer, but if it’s well insulated it shouldn’t matter what color it is.

Even though the living room is already set up for one, I wouldn't mind moving that furniture to the empty bigger room, adding a nice big sectional and a big TV.

Turn the big conference tables into 2 tables by squaring them up or rounding off the other side. The blue on the building is kind of cooling(in temp) to the mind. Does not look bad to me, could be my age though. Ever consider putting up a canvas wall tent built on platforms with hitching rails in the area by the river? could rent those out pretty easily and you have a handy crew to blast a few of those up quickly.

[@silentepsilon888]

changing the blue trim to a light grey while leaving the walls white will give it a more modern look instantly. And installing rain gutters, - yes, rain gutters, will keep the facia boards dry and prevent rotting as well as staining of the deck from dirty water dripping off the roof.

[@noodlelynoodle.]

Light grey would just make it look worse, like if it really needs to be "modern" go with the really dark accents like people are doing and do the trim black or something else that contrasts with the white rather than just blending in like light grey does. Idk ive just seen way too many white and grey houses and it looks boring to begin with and even worse as the paint yellows in a few years

[@susanvaughan4210]

I really like the blue and white exterior. What it needs is a good tree trimming/ yard clean up and some nice, well watered large plants on the porch.

[@Ben-mn9ss]

Paint tech from Australia here. Have a look at the Colorbond range of colours. Powder coated fencing and roofing are prefabbed in those colours here. But you could leave the white sides and hit the trim with Shale Grey then Monument on the decking. It's a combo I know a few of my customers have been happy with.

[@VelocityUrbexadventures]

The empty space should be a living room and the actual living room would be a perfect dining space. So the table does not stand in your way any more and the dining room is near the kitchen. Keep the white painting to prevent the house of heating up too fast (because of that the AC can save a bit power and does not need to be maintained that often.) And as for the blue painted parts: Paint them medium grey. Believe me, it will look awesome.

[@capswdr]

The room with the big table is great as a dining room. Big family gatherings eating playing cards or talking to people cooking.

[@user-el9xb8fs5q]

Hi Matt, we have a couple of ideas for you. The new house, just changing the trim paint is a cheaper way to update the exterior. Long in the future, these extra house can become staff housing - like a ranch manager, etc.. As far as the living rooms, I would move the living room furniture into the bigger empty space and putting the dining area in the older living room space. I am trained as a interior designer and I love arranging space not pillows. Otherwise, my hubby and I enjoy your channel and wish you all the UCB you need to get this ‘abandoned resort’ back on it’s feet - Alison

[@jbenn1980]

definately leave the ramp for handicap accessibility. Personally, I like the blue & white it pops against the brown/green landscape & reflects the heat. You could maybe do a light gray for porch & trim.

[@huntervalles1565]

Keep the White Paint the Blue to Dark Grey or Black. Take the small living room and turn it into the Dinning Room and use the bigger more open space as the living room

[@Arkay66]

The smaller living room is closer to the kitchen. Turn it into the dining room, then the big empty into the living room. I like the exterior colors myself, but you could consider making the blue a lovely green.

[@angelakaplan]

the light blue ceiling on the porch is usually to help keep bees and other flying insects away.

[@Vault57]

16:12 They say that painting the underside of the porch roof blue keeps the wasps from building nests there. You don't have wasps do you? Maybe you should keep that color there. Maybe now is a good time to come up with an official Desperado Resort color scheme that you apply to all DR buildings? There was a tan wall /forest green trim combo I used to like. It helped the buildings blend in with the landscape. I don't like buildings that stand out too much. Detracts from nature and all that. Some people have said get a pool table. If it were me, I would not. The sticks become long swords for undisciplined kids. The pool balls get thrown and bounced on the floor. You end up with holes in the ceiling and walls and dents in the floor. Windows get broken and the sticks loose their tips or get broken too. And the felt top will inevitably get food and drinks spilled on it. Not to mention kids climbing on the table destroying the felt. Put your pool tables in a recreational area at the main building. Then they can be monitored by staff easier AND you have an opportunity for concessions, snacks, drinks, and meals. I have seen things, horrible things have I seen...
