Need to start painting all of the trim and doors out white that will help lighten it up ,BM linen on the walls

Paint panel or add wainescott paneling. Lighten it, like a creamy white.

Looks like a big house with a lot of potential. Have you settled on a budget range for each room or the whole house together?

I'd start by reviewing the list of repairs and doing the most important ones first, including safety items. Then pick a color scheme, choose some new lighting for each room, and install new flooring that goes with the color scheme. Then paint. If budget is tight, get builder packs of light fixtures that will be identical in each room.

In some cases, panelling that is installed as 4 by 8 sheets can be removed easily. Sometimes it's glued on forever. Try prying it off, and if it doesn't come up easily, just prime and paint over it.

Oh, I see you are selling. In that case, what is your budget for fix-up? What geographic area is the house in?

In getting ready to sell an empty house, the most important things to do are repairing, cleaning and painting.

HI -- The first thing I would do is remove all that panel board . Do you need to fix or change the floor plan then do that next and have all new drywall done . Also change the flooring . But that shiny cheap looking panel board has to go . You will probably have to up date all the wiring anyway and old paneling is a fire hazard . The house will get more friendly as you go.

Hi---getting ready to sell---here are some quick fixes-one flooring material throughout entire space---a laminate in a medium-dark hue. Paint-Decorator's white for trim, Accessible Beige for walls. New lights-preferably a bit oversized---makes more of a statement. Hope this is helpful-Good Luck!

If you are looking to sell, try updating the bathroom floor and hallways with some matching laminate. Also, staging the house with some bright, clean lighting fixtures and furniture will make it seem cute rather than old and cold.

If you are looking to stay, definitely need to get rid of the wall paneling and the flooring. Wood floor (or wood floor laminate) in the bathroom, kitchen, and hallway. Then maybe a light, luxurious carpet in the bedroom and family room. Taking off the paneling and painting the house a coffee color might transform the whole thing!
