When we purchased this house we knew we had a pile of work to do - and we got right down to it! We conquered the "small" re-do's first which lead us to re-paint baseboard to ceiling in every room. What I have come to love the MOST is; before the furniture gets put back in and the new colour is already on the walls, I put the final coat of semi-gloss, cloud white paint on all of the trim (baseboards, windows & doors)and it just changes everything.
Most of our rooms have paint that at some point WAS white ..... but after many years of reglect the white has dimmed to a terrible mixture of dirt and grime. So, after I paint the ceiling, walls & closet I get to work on trim and I must say - it seems to be the smallest touch that makes the largest difference.
Fresh white trim frames everything, the walls "pop" against the fresh white, the house looks like it is more loved and cared for, it finishes a room like nothing else, it is crisp and clean, it makes the room look cleaner ...... to me, fresh white trim says to people that someone cares about this home ....
..... the devil is in the details right? Or, for us hoping to flip a house - the "deal" is in the details! (hahaha, I'm lame sometimes!)
