I have been looking for years, too. Now more intensely because we sold our house and are living in a furnished apt. I'm not a shoes off in the house person, but because this place has that awful cheap, light colored carpet I'm going shoeless and I've injured my toes. I need a house. There are mini-blinds in the bedroom: it's not dark in there. A couple of years ago we found 3 nests one Spring, scattered about the lawn. One was a big, mud-fortified robin's with an escape hatch where there must have been a supporting branch, one a sweet, perfect, feathery finch's, and the third was in between. Figured it was an omen. So when I found a property with a regular house, a mobile home and a really cool tree/guest house I thought maybe we should take it. DH didn't agree and I didn't feel that strongly about it. I keep trying to figure out a business where I could make this search process easier. I'd like to rich while I'm homeless. So the rental will be for you to live in?

Interior finishes are all the materials/surfaces inside the envelope. ie: flooring (ceramic tile, carpet, hardwood), ceiling, wall paneling, drywall. Exterior Finishes are all the materials/surfaces outside the envelope, and are in contact with the elements. ie: asphalt shingles, siding, bricks, stucco. I consider paint to be a protective coat of interior or exterior materials, like drywall or metal. It also adds color.

On the open areas I'd use one color. But it looks like you have multiple stopping points. The bumped out area with the raised plywood floor could be a complementary shade. The setback with the double set of french doors to the outside. The stairwell wall. Personally, I'd start by painting it all one color. Then as you live in it, add some more colors. That worked for me at least! Good luck!

Interior define quality is very entry level, room and board is made domestically so certainly better though their materials not the best
