Top tips for house staging!
So, am busy getting my house ready to put it on the market. I thought it looked 'light bright and airy.' I got a few of my Canadian friends in to give opinions, and they all reckoned the paint was too light and that Canadians preferred 'shades of brown and darker colours!' Well, being out of my comfort zone, (never having painted brown before...yeuch) I think I have have come up with the ultimate resource!
http://realgoodthings.files.wordpress.com/2012/06/b.png It is quite the multi purpose tool. Not only have you a good suggestions of colour flow throughout your house, but it can help you choose texture too! For example... Number one could simulate a lovely pebble dash effect Number three could be used as a colour co- ordinated grout or Number six, could simulate a lovely rag roll effect. What a cheap and easy resource for any other struggling Canadian decorators! Happy Painting |

Last year we sold our house in the university quarter. Every third household on our street was owned by an academic. The realtor told us we had too many books and it might put off buyers.

I can't wait to de-poop our house! The thing is, all the Canadian home magazines etc, show non-poop colours. I can't imagine they all like brown......can they?! The lighter colours would make the home seem larger and brighter(given that we have tiny windows round here too, but that's a whole other subject!). |
