We will be listing and have painted but...

18 years ago

Hi Gang,

We will be listing our home in the next few weeks. In getting it ready for this big event we have painted the master bedroom & bath, the lower level family room the upstairs hall and two stairwells. We will also have new carpeting installed before we list. The painter finished yeaterday. I went with an off white, I think it was BenMore Linen. It looks crisp and clean. If I were staying I would have gone with a color but, since I have no way of knowing what the next owner will want, I went with a total nuteral. If they think it's too white or steril they can think of it as a primer. My question is, should I put pictures back up? I'm not talking about family pictures, more the prints and paintings, art work type stuff that I have always had. I hate to put holes in the walls...but should I? I think pictures can finish a room, but I really don't want to give the rooms my personality. I would rather the new folks were able to picture there things in their space...not mine. So, what would you advise? Our home is in CT.

And while I have your ears/eyes...what color carpet should we go with? I'm thinking a soft grey. I'm not a beige, tan type of person. What other colors are there?

Thanks, Gang.
