Also, when I worked for the historic district, we got lots of paint color proposals that we found incorrect. The applicant often said they chose their incorrect colors because they were “cute” or something along those lines. One lady wanted to put 40-some-odd gas lanterns on the outside of her house because she’d seen them in House Beautiful and thought they were “cute.” But didn’t know where to stop. Two or three were correct in that case.

There’s so many stories from my time spent there, but they are for another place.
