If you painted the woodwork white and left the fireplace, the room would be off balance. And.. just put white on the ceiling.. it will lighten it all. Now, of course that is just my humble opinion. I've not seen one thing you've done I've not liked/loved!! Good luck on the selling and buying!Marlishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05965220365912256742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5948862230201694042.post-62153277057222718592012-09-11T05:56:57.470-04:002012-09-11T05:56:57.470-04:00Personally Artie, I would be particularly cautious...Personally Artie, I would be particularly cautious about painting the woodwork or even the fireplace white as it could destroy the integrity of the home unless of course you do plan to remain, then it would be a matter of personal preference. (We do know, stripping paint is a far bigger job than painting it.)<br /><br />By no means to offend as you do have impeccable taste and are a talented interior designer but perhaps all that is needed to 'showcase the house' is a little paring down in decor elements that may be currently distracting potential buyers during a walk-through. Your 'home' is truly beautiful and hopefully you will interpret this suggestion as merely a psychological approach ... or an alternative strategy option ... to target a buyer. <br />-Brenda- <br /> mrsbenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13490065292054880863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5948862230201694042.post-14432910054802866022012-09-10T23:10:21.099-04:002012-09-10T23:10:21.099-04:00Nice room.
