Paint Colors
As we are planning a move during the summer, I need to get this place painted and prepped so we can put it up for rent. We need to decide on a good, neutral color that will make this place shine. The options are below, please pick your favorite and let me know your “vote” in the comments.
Off White
Tan / Light Taupe
Light Sage Green
Warm Yellow
Grey
Pinkish Tan
I need to pick this so we can get started and then work on the trim. Does ANYONE out there know how to pain trim in a home that has quite a bit of wall – to – wall?
TeamRachel aka mrskatvon is both a website to gain public awareness of Juvenile Batten Disease (which affects my oldest daughter) as well as a journal to remember the events in our lives.
Rachel was diagnosed with Batten Disease in July 2009 and while we knew something was "not right" we had no idea that such a nightmarish disease existed. There are dozens of nasty, orphan disease which affect people both very young and old.
Aside from dealing with the changes of Batten Disease in my daughter, Rachel, I have tasked myself with making life memorable for all of my children to make sure that (at least) 3 of them grow up to be as well adjusted and happy as possible.
I’d go with the tan/taupe. Not a boring white, but it will cover up more wear and tear.
since we bought a spec. home, it was already painted…so i can take no credit for the color…but we always get complements on it. it’s a very, very soft butter yellow when the sun is shining but almost a light tan when it’s dark. the trim is white. if you like, i can look up the number…i believe it’s a sherwin williams paint. we have tall celings (which equals a lot of wall), but it’s not overpowering.
typing and nursing so no capital letters. : )
I would go with the off white or an eggshell so the perspective buyer can envision their colors. Although having a place already painted in colors is nice but you never know what the buyers furnishings may be.
I say sage. I visited friends yesterday who had a light sage with off-white trim and it was nice without being overbearing.
