Discussion about

The walls of the co-op I want to purchase are white, likely for showing. I already know that I want off-white in the living room and seafood in the bedroom. Both are very light colors. I am told by all not to even mention or suggest I might paint during the board interview. Any suggestions? Thank you.

Why would the board care if you paint your walls off white or any other color? As long as you are not painting outside your apartment no one cares.

The color is not the issue, the person who advised you on this probably has in mind that a board may be offput by candidates with disruptive renovation plans. Painting is generally not one of those.

If it doesn't come up, don't bring it up yourself. If they ask about renovations, answer briefly and truthfully -- you may bring in a painter but don't plan anything extensive.

Don't buy in a building where your would-be fellow shareholders don't want you investing in the quality of your apartment and the building.

I don't think painting is something you ever have to mention to a board for any reason.
