I witheld my opinion because I'm the one with the red nursery and no white walls in my house (not quite accurate, but close enough) ; ) The person I bought the house from had used colors very similar to my choices, but covered it all with white paint in order to sell! ~lmc Glad it worked out!

When we moved into our house it was alllllllll white, like a huge glacial palace. It was cold. It was awful. We immediately painted the walls red, olive, gold, etc and it is much much better. I don't know about saleability. I kind of think warm colors help sell it too. Wow, your Mr. A is quite the rockstar.

The actual steps, I thought you painted THEM. I'm so glad you didn't. I was horrified at the idea that you painted THEM cement. That's why I couldn't remember they were red. Not your stairs!

We thought the realtor would want us to paint over our boldly colored walls, but she wanted us to concentrate on three other main issues instead (planting flowers out front, having the kitchen ceiling cracks repaired, and painting the porch ceiling.) When we looked for a house to buy, we noticed houses where everything needed to be painted due to dirty walls or, in one case, gray paint on every single wall. The exact colors didn't matter as much. Good luck! It is hard to say goodbye to a house. We sold our house in May, nine days after it went on the market.
