Typically our work weeks begin on Monday but this week we got an early start by working on Saturday because we have a full week ahead of us with 2 homes to unstage and 2 (possibly 3) vacant homes to stage.
The day started at Lowes at 7:30 picking out paint colors to tone down the bright colors in our current staging project. I decided on a soft beige for the Living Room and Dining Room, trimmed out in white. We will use a lighter color up the stairway to lighten the dark stairwell.
Dining Room Before:
Hallway and Stairwell:
Bedroom:
8 hours, 4 painters, and 2 coats of primmer later what a difference it makes to lighten things up a little:
We managed to get a lot accomplished. All walls have been primmed. The dining room and living room are just about finished with their color coat. Tomorrow we will paint the ceilings and trim and hopefully get a coat of color on the stairwell and upstairs bedroom.
I personally love bright colors but if you are considering selling your home, it's best to tone down those colors for the broadest market appeal.
