The Realtor wanted me to paint it white but I drew a line and refused. The buyers all loved it and I wanted to cry.<br /><br />I agree with B. If the buyer doesn't get that it was intentional and can't appreciate it then who wants them to have that house anyway. Too much thought went into your home for it to be wasted.Indiri Woodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07107905468709485217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7131844.post-91220959482236278192009-11-25T12:53:07.802+01:002009-11-25T12:53:07.802+01:00Someone didn't wat to buy our flat becuase the...Someone didn't wat to buy our flat becuase the kitchen units are white.

House hunters (even the normally smart ones!) are notoriously incapable of figuring out what's a structural issue that can't be changed vs. a design issue that can be easily changed. They SEE purple paint, think "I hate purple paint with a passion!" and often fail to move to the next stage, which is, if I buy this house, I can paint it ANY color I like!

Why else would the plaster be missing.<br /><br />Here's a true story about the last time we sold our house and moved. A few shoppers commented they didn't like seeing wall to wall carpeting in the dining room. So I ripped out the carpet and over a weekend I installed solid tongue and groove oak flooring. I then used a fast drying finish on the floor so that people could walk on as soon as possible. <br /><br />Oh, and I had all the kitchen appliances professionally painted in a modern color.<br /><br />I like to think these things helped sell the house during a sluggish market time.willhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15590217997145761582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7131844.post-64382375432942505012009-11-24T20:17:22.270+01:002009-11-24T20:17:22.270+01:00Maybe if you put googly eyes on it?
