Our house is only 6 years old, but we are trying to get it ready to put on the market, too. We've had painters in this past week doing some repair and touchup. Our home is done is earth tones of cream, brown, gold, soft greens, and for a little extra touch, one bathroom and the laundry room are both purple. A kinda soft medium purple. The flavor is Tuscan, so the purple is for grapes. The walls in the living, master bedroom and master bath are glazed so a little wear doesn't show very much on them. Gayle, if you read this, our gameroom walls are burnt orange above a cream wainscoat and chair rail. Thought you'd appreciate the burnt orange.
We need to change the carpets downstairs, but we will go back with pretty much what we have now. Once we get the carpets done, our furkids will be stuck in their crates while we are at work. My intent was to go with vinyl plank flooring had we stayed here. If you get really good vinyl plank, it looks so much like wood that it fools most people, and it's more durable and water resistent than laminate or wood. However, since we are planning to sell, will go back with carpet, since it's cheaper.
