The Calming Hues of Blue

Did You Ever Notice How the Color of the Beach and the Color of Winter share the same color scheme?

The color we love at the beach has the same color palette as the season that most people dread. We have all watched a House Hunter episode where the person is mortified by the color of in one of the rooms and cannot see past it. Paint is the most straightforward home task. Painting is a great staging addition to helping your home sell in any environment.

 

The right feeling to make your home serene starts with these three colors. Using blue, white, and beige can transform your space into a neutral warm space that makes any buyers want to buy on the spot. Cool colors and neutral colors can make you feel calm. The fewer colors you combine and a minimalist style creates a feeling of home for most potential buyers.

 

Three Tint Tones

 

A tint of Sky Blue Like the Ocean

 

The colors of water and sky are the blue tints that make us crave a vacation house. If matching outright isn’t your style, then using hues and tints of your favorite landscape can create a similar positive effect. Do you have a favorite tint of blue?

 

Three Things of White

 

Too much of white stuff in the winter and too much white in a beach cottage is a real thing. White is hard to keep sparkling new so use the right hints of white with paint, pillows, and furniture to pull the right amount of white in a room. No one wants a washed-out room with no personality. Red appliances, painted furniture, accent pillows, and wood can be a simple way to do this.

 

Set the Tone With Beige

 

Beige has relaxing and comforting influences and encourages feelings of warmth and calmness. Beige also promotes a general sense of neutrality and impartial thinking.

Scariest Home: Haunted Cribs Edition Copy

Well, a plantation by any other name is just a farm.

But it does roll off the tongue a little sweeter, doesn’t it?

                                       -Bobby Rae Sweet Home Alabama

 

Located in the United States, this home is notorious for its haunting history. Although it may be classified as a plantation or farm, the main draw for potential buyers is the high number of ghosts per square foot. Whether or not this aligns with your home-buying preferences is a matter of personal choice.

 

Myrtles Plantation, St. Francisville, LA

 

Famous Ghost: Chloe (seen by the arrow below)

 

 

Some say nine different ghosts walk the grounds of the Louisiana bed-and-breakfast. Love to be scared? You can tour and visit this house if you want to confirm its claim as the Scariest Home in the United States.

 

Ohio: Franklin Castle: Cleveland, Ohio

 

Famous Ghost: Each floor is haunted by another family member of the Tiedemann Family

 

This castle would be an example if there were ever a time to believe an object could be cursed. Forget the haunting aspect; every person who has lived here dies or goes mad. Pick one; the history can suggest either. It is currently being divided into multi-family dwellings. Buyers and Renters Beware!

 

Florida: The Riddle House, West Palm Beach

 

Famous Ghost: Joseph

 

 

This house wants to be left alone. After being converted from a funeral home, the Riddle family purchased the house, and Joseph worked for them. He committed suicide in the attic that is padlocked now for tours. However, it is said that even the kitchen and bedrooms have other spirits like Joseph who do not want you there. You can also visit this location; the house is in the middle of Yesteryear Village, a living museum at the South Florida Fairgrounds with over 20 carefully maintained buildings preserving this area’s history and ghosts.
