Homeowner Sells The House But Leaves Tiny Murals Behind That Divided The Internet

Movies July, 15, 2025

A new home would always carry certain elements that are left behind by the previous owners. One may have to roam around the place a bit to discover more about the former owners and their interests.

Some “discoveries” might be bearable and temporary while others can be quite permanent and may require revamping to make them go away.

This house seller was definitely a creative one as they left the home with some cartoon characters painted above skirting boards. They chose the theme as SpongeBob SquarePants for their design and smartly positioned every character.

This quirky and colorful art was shared on Reddit where a video showed the drawings above the skirting boards. This video went viral and people presented different opinions about this. The internet was divided!

The comments came flooding in as users expressed their views about the little paintings in the house. The caption of the video read, “Person just sold their house and is leaving some little presents for the next owners.”

Some seemed to be fond of the artwork as one exclaimed that they would keep them. Anther person added, “Same. I love it actually.” They found Patrick Star entering through the door harmless and so were the other characters painted.

But there was another group of people who didn’t favor keeping such memories of the previous owners. One jumped in and asked, “I can’t be the only who would be annoyed by this, can I?”

“They’re cute, but like… I don’t want to have to buy a whole bucket of paint just to cover them up,” another one expressed. Someone called it a dumb move and added, “Have them in the back of sink cabinets, in closets on the same wall as the door, or behind the fridge and washer. You want eventual surprises not move in annoyances.”

“Hope those weren’t put up after the contract was on the house. Those would be annoying to cover up, and not a super fun surprise unless you were going to repaint (and those are nice neutral colors so might not need to otherwise),” one user commented.

We know cartoon characters are harmless especially when they are drawn on the walls. However, it seems like, there would be someone who would not be impressed by such creatures painted around!
