Wallpaper….

I took the photo of this wall in a house while I was showing it, thankfully not my listing. My guess is that this “wallpaper” is actually pages from a graphic novel (comic book to us older generations). The whole room had a black and white color theme going on so this one wall worked well with that theme. But… can you imagine being the next owner of that room and having to try to remove these pages? Plus most buyers are going to have a hard time envisioning themselves living in this space. The lesson here is to remove dated wallpaper or makes a unique wall like this so the space is neutral for the new owners.

The Miracle of Paint

It’s amazing what a simple coat of paint can do to transform the look of a room. It’s hard to convey to first time homebuyers how easy it can be to transform a dark, dingy looking fireplace into something beautiful. Yes, it does take a little bit of “elbow grease” to get the job done but it’s an affordable option that makes a huge impact. The puppy certainly makes a great addition too!
