When we first saw this home with the orange carpet and old wooden paneling, it seemed like we'd gone into a time machine. Unfortunately I didn't look like I did in the 70's, only the room did. With such dated décor, a price reduction couldn't be far behind. The room was underutilized and depressing. Not the kind of room that would create that emotional connection that leads to an offer. When a potential buyer views a home this dated and in this poor condition, they are going to begin to wonder how well cared for the whole property could be and what kind of hidden problems might be there.
We always try to use as much of the homeowners things as possible, but every now and then, we have to start pretty much from scratch - this was one of those situations...
So first the carpet was ripped up and replaced with eco-friendly bamboo flooring. Next the drapes and dated wooden valance were removed and the entire room painted (including the dated paneling). We then strategically placed the furniture to change the focus and feel of the room. If you're selling your house in this decade, you don't want the mark of another all over it.
