🎨 Did you know?

Neutral tones create a blank canvas that allows buyers to envision themselves in the space, while also making the home feel more modern and inviting. Consider painting high-traffic areas, like the living room or entryway, to make a lasting first impression. I used Chantilly Lace in my house because it is a somewhat dark house and that is a bright white that brightens up the house.
