I am about accept a transfer at work and we're going to have to sell
our home. No biggie, I was ready to move anyway. We live in an area with a fairly hot market, 2 homes near me moved in 3 days. My house is in ok condition, it's not a showpiece. Old, solid, etc. Anyway, here are my questions. No flames, this is more of an informal survey. 1) The attic was painted purple by the previous owners. I've cleaned most of it out (it's about 800sq ft). Should I paint it - or at least prime it - a less obnoxious color? I could finish it in 4 or 5 hours. When we first looked at the house I thought "jeez, that is ugly". 2) Kitchen. It's old, the cabinets are sorta cheap and while they look ok they aren't great. The SO wants to replace them, I'm really not up for a kitchen redo if I have to be out of here in 3 months. I was thinking of just cleaning them as best as I can, repainting the kitchen, etc. The kitchen is semi bright, it's well light. 3) Wallpaper. Gawd I hate this mess (esp when it's old as dirt). I'm now redoing the bathrooms. One of the bathrooms has a wall of wallpaper that isn't responding to any of the removers. Would it be tacky to just paint over it? It's smooth and there are no seams that are peeling, it's just - ugly. That's it, thanks. |
