Our [house] in the middle of our house

Oh my God, that's legitimately awful. "Pick a poop color, any poop color!"
This is why I went for a low-care HOA since we couldn't really find a house in our price range that was completely HOA-free. The worst thing about them so far is that some high-care people got on the board recently and started being uppity about things no one used to care about.

lets be fair, only about .0005% of the population likes HOAs and they're generally dicks
Problem is that .0005 are the ones building the subdevisions and sitting on the HOA boards.

That was the original reason for HOAs to exist in the first place. Ditto Realtors. The Realtor Code Of Ethics had an article forbidding them from breaking the redlines:
A Realtor should never be instrumental in introducing into a neighborhood a character of property or occupancy, members of any race or nationality, or any individuals whose presence will clearly be detrimental to property values in that neighborhood.
Or rather lack of contrast, based on those colors.
Goddamn we are never not shitty.
You're not thinking like a rich person.
I would buy houses and rent them to people under market value with the caveat that they will get the deed of the property if they can destroy the HOA.
You're not taking into account the number of HOAs with strict rules about renting.
The dumbest thing about the whole thing is that it's all supposed to be logical under this veneer of making sure everybody's property values don't tank because somebody painted their house fuchsia or some shit. Sensible people don't do that. Assuming people won't be sensible is terrible. There is a house in another subdivision across the highway that has a beautiful color scheme that I would love to borrow from. There is absolutely no way it detracts from property values of anything nearby it. The main house is a really light sandstone color with some dark charcoal grey highlights. The garage door, front door and trim are all this beautiful burgundy color, edging a little bit toward crimson. Part of me is tempted to just take pictures of that house and send them to the ARC and be like, "Hey fuckheads, can I paint my house like this PRETTY PLEASE?"

Non-brown colors are un-American.

Bring it on!
Update to this: Yesterday was the planned delivery date. I have three out of six blinds and the tracking for all six still hasn't moved from Memphis, including the ones that have been delivered.
I did put up the one over the weekend to replace the broken blind and it looks really nice and went up easily, so I guess I made a good purchase, assuming they ever deliver.
Our HOA is similar. It's basically a giant management company that runs the HOA's for all this builders townhome properties. As far as I know there are no residents on the board, it's just employees of this company. I'm not sure if this is a big city thing or not.
with the way property has been valued past 2006, absolutely nothing can tank your property's value outside of you absolutely ignoring to fix your own house
your neighbors a crackhouse? Put up some bushes and trees and you'll still get 100k more than you bought it for 10 years ago
Also the corporate style HOA ya'll are describing sounds illegal as hell, or if it's not it should be.
The email also said they will mail me a letter listing the requested documents that I upload online.
I hate.
Farewell, quality sleep. I will catch you again in like October.

I highly recommend putting a large fan right above your bed.
Also on the subject of blankets anyone got a maximum weight/minimum warmth blanket they'd recommend?
Evil Genius 2 just came out, might be able to give you some ideas.
Planet coaster can actually do a decent job of creating a 3d house as long as you aren't worried too much about scale.
I use excel for top down paper doll style layout. I'll set up the grid to be squares and a scale of 1 square per 3"

I used Sketch up in the past.
A big part is: what level of change do you want? Layout/cabinets? Just use the ikea planner or whatever to play around. If walls are in play, getting a pro is a good idea.
Re:HOAs - just no. It's my house, I can do what I want with it. I'm also looking at you historic districts!
I'll eventually want to remodel the whole house, at least cosmetically. Right now the plan is bathrooms, then kitchen later. There will be a small wall opened up in the bathroom but I'm sure it's not weight bearing. I want to plan out the entire house in advance though so it's got a consistent look.
To keep property values up, it's important for our neighborhood to maintain a certain tone. A specific hue. A very regimented range of pigmentation.
