I've been to Stockholm twice. One time, five years ago, we went for Christmas -- pure magic. Beautiful city, nice people and just fun to walk around and see the museums and architecture. One building I saw the first time I was there had two statues of men "holding" up the entry of a building. Sometimes these are called groaners. Does anyone know the name of the building or a picture of it?

Glidden Eternal Beige for the walls and Belgium Lace for the trim. I have flipped lots of places in the last 15 years and white is not a sure thing. There are so many hues and people usually select or mix the wrong ones and it can be garish and/or glaring. Painting is cheap, effective and DIY. Flat paint makes walls look more even (hides flaws). Eggshell for the trim (not all trim is in good shape.

Clean the windows inside and out. Flooring -- one trick I used was to match the wall color exactly to existing (in excellent condition only) lighter shades of neutral carpeting or flooring -- makes the place look huge. Clear out almost everything and put it in storage so someone can imagine themselves there. CLEAN CLEAN CLEAN
