Question
I have always had what my friends call "interesting" tastes in color and style. My current kitchen is all bland, blah safe colors. Now that I am thinking of redoing my kitchen, I have some very definite ideas about what I want it to look out. But a friend of mine said that I should settle for a bland kitchen, because a flamboyant one might make the resale value of my home lower. Is this a valid concern?

Julia, resale value is something to think about IF you are thinking of moving in the near future.
