Choose at top your favorite decorating color, This is a poll. If you know me, you know its BLUE. But being a realtor I know I'll have to get rid of it before selling my house.
BLUE: I drive a blue car, and have a blue sportscar in garage. My house trim is blue and white; my kitchen is periwinkle and white, my pool table room has blue plaid cloth on the wall. My dining room is blue print cloth. I buy my husband blue shirts.
But in real estate sales, blue is a killer. Things need to be neutral if you are going to sell your home. The buyer needs to be able to see a blank slate and imagine their own favorite color. There are exceptions. I sold a house in September to someone who chose a house because it had a red kitchen. She was tired of blank slates that we had looked at, and she was tired of blue as she'd owned a blue home for 15 years. Normally a realtor will tell you to neutralize the color with beiges and tans.
I gave my favorite floorings. Our next poll will be allowing you to tell me yours.
