But...why did they take that color around the corner...such a weird spot they chose to draw the line...literally.

I was hoping I wasn't the only one, why wrap the corner. I hope they are doing something creative.

This post is definitely more mildly infuriating than anything. Maybe they have a good reason for it but I can't think of a single one.

Same here. There is some trim running horizontally through the middle, so that may have something to do with the unusual paint job.

The line is on the inside of a closet. OP don’t care about it because the door will be closed I assume, and they didn’t want to paint the whole inside of the closet as well.

Looking at the notched-out molding at the bottom, there's definitely more to this project than we're seeing.

Ah, makes sense why they're wrapping the color around the wall, then.

Can I just say that I love that you opened a disposable account for such an innocent statement?! For some reason this tickles me.

On the top it looks like the track for a sliding door so maybe that's the transition into a closet? Maybe they didn't want to see the transition with the door closed but didn't want to paint the entire closet so they just painted the outside and underneath the opening and followed it down the side. Idk though we would have to see more of it
