“Very soothing but bright and light relefecting.”

Lighting makes ALL the difference. Before I sold my last house, I gave ‘The Old Girl’ a total re-vamp.

I used a color in the Living Room and up the staircase to the bedrooms called ‘Lion’ from Behr paints.

At times is was green, at times it was gold!

Both my Realtor and my Feng Shui friend who stages homes for a living said it was a great color.

The house sold within days. :)

“The house sold within days. :)”

And on the flip side, using bad colors costs people big bucks! My son bought a house like that. We walked in and you were hit in the face by a big bright blue wall that backdropped the open floor plan. It was a hot market and lots of houses were going way above asking. I told him to offer their price but no more.
He got it. The first thing we did was paint the wall and room a pale sage green. It was a full spectrum paint that changed color as the day went on. It tied everything together.

I had recently done our farmhouse and sold it the day it went on the market. Color and light matters!
