Comments (8)All good points above. Talk to a trusted experienced Realtor in your area as they will know your specific market. In general, each condo community has a certain personality that attracts different buyers (young professionals/empty nesters/retirees/boaters/etc). You don't have to go entirely neutral, however, it will open up your condo market to more buyers if you neutralize what you have now. When you have personalized your space to the extent that you have, you limit the market to those buyers only looking for very heavy traditional decor; which is polar opposite to the condo market here in S Florida (generally). Wallpaper is particularly difficult to pull off when selling these days. Having the various rooms you created out of the space can limit your market too. This is why you want an experienced, knowledgeable Realtor to come see it and tell you what the target market is for your condo and what that market is seeking. One last comment: today marketing your space is heavily dependent on photos. Professional photos of your space make all the difference in marketing your listing. If the space appears cluttered or small, you will lose buyers. They simply will skip your condo and not call their agent to see it. Contrary to popular belief, even in very hot markets there are properties that do not sell. Usually the reason is because the amount of work, or perceived work, is too much for the price point. It takes seconds for the buyers to swipe right over your listing to the next one that is more appealing to that buyer. Removing wallpaper is high on the list of work projects that buyers just don't want to tackle....See MorePlease help me choose Ellie Cashman Wallpaper style for powder room
Comments (65)Not everyone can afford "mistakes"! You can only have so many stars in a room, or all will beg for attention . If you love your flooring, faucet , mirror and light!? Paint the walls a glossy deep gray! Go buy some oversized / peony art for the wall! There are MANY ways to make a beautiful powder room, and infinite ways to combine too many elements taken out of their context....... And cry real $$$$....See Morewallpaper over lead paint; how to remove the wallpaper??
Comments (6)It depends a lot how the paper was put on and what kind of adhesion was used how hard you will work to get it off. When you wet it and warm it you want to get it to the point where the paper lifts right off. The issue after that will be the remaining glue. This is where it can get really hard to completely get the glue off to the point where you can paint it without disturbing the lead paint. Also, one thing you may discover is that you do not have a fine finish that will look good painted on the plaster underneath, and that there is in fact no paint at all of any kind in some rooms. They will need a new skim coat anyway. It then becomes: do you have enough glue off to adhere a skim coat? Whatever you do, just be careful. People get all bent out of shape about asbestos and mold but neither of those are really much of a danger in an acute exposure situation, but "lead stupid" is forever . It dissolves in water, it can get dispersed in the air, etc. and if you get it all over the place it can get VERY expensive and hard to clean it out of the house afterward....See MoreSuzanne
