When we sold our house in New York, we had painted a bunch of accent walls of like different

blue tones and Mike came in and he just said, decorator's white. Everything. Every surface.

Everything.

Hi there.

Please email your questions to FHB Podcast at Fine Homebuilding.com.

You can find previous podcasts and check out the show

notes at findhomebuilding.com slash podcast what's a pleasure to have you guys here today thanks for being

here you're welcome yeah thanks for having us i had to share you with you guys uh something that i got in my

uh email box at work. And Benjamin Moore

is sent an email mentioning that this August, they're encouraging renters to paint the

interiors of their homes without having to live in a white space rental or worry about not getting

their security deposits back. From August 1st through the 31st, 10,000 renters who purchase a gallon of Benjamin Moore

Regal Select interior paint and any of the 3,500 colors can use their receipts to redeem

a gallon of white paint from July 15th, 2025 to September 15th, 2025, presumably when their lease is over and they're moving out.

What do you guys think about this?

I think it's a pretty interesting move that paint companies are now targeting renters to buy their product, which seems like a pretty smart idea.
