Paint Suggestions for a Live-In Flip?

Greg P.

Hi there,

Was hoping for advice from some of you more seasoned DIY / flipper folks.  I am working to restore an old 1960s ranch style home.  It has eight foot ceilings throughout, with old white oak flooring that was stained a terrible gray at some point.

I am re-doing both the floors, baseboard trim, door trim, window trim, and re-painting everything.

I'd like to opt for a warm hardwood color, getting closer to the original color of the hardwood.  I can't really decide on what would be best for the trim / ceilings and neutral colors that deliver good value.  Was hoping folks here may have some 'go-tos' that they stick to.  This is in the ~300k price point in Dallas.

Thanks!

I like to use a local company to me for all my paint, but before I sourced from them I liked Valspar from Lowes. I am pretty sure SW owns them. For color, I usually went with a beige, Dove's Cry, or a grey, Foggy Mirror. 

Satin on the body, and a semi-gloss white on the trim.
