Murals, stencils and wallpaper are simply too taste specific to create the neutral spaces that the greatest number of buyers will relate to.  Take a look at these before and afters.  As nice as the spaces were before, I think you'll agree that the new and neutral spaces will really appeal to buyers AND look great in Internet photos.

Working with sellers you often hear them ask why they have to paint when the new people will just do what they want with the place when they move in.

I explain that it is important to create a clean, fresh neutral pallette so that anyone can move in without having to do a lot of work right away. Plus, by using neutral colours, the space expands visually allowing buyers to perceive more value in your home. And that's a good thing.

In this home staging in Vaughan you can see the dramatic changes that have taken place by simply changing the paint colour. Choosing the correct paint colour is something that your professional home stager is trained to do to gain interest in your property.

So true Deb. Painting out those "taste specific" walls works wonders! Funny, the Muslin color that Michelle used is so much lighter than what I typically recommend but it worked very well for these spaces.
