If you watch enough HGTV and keep an eye on sites like Houzz or Zillow Digs, you can get a pretty good idea of current design trends in terms of layouts, lighting, colors, etc. 

Very interesting history and architecture too . The

For painting the exterior is it currently a darker color going lighter or vice versa?

What color envelopes did you use?

A thick card stock and a few colors never hurt, but a oval shaped card that looks like a reflector or a card that looks like a folded up dollar bill (both true stories) might be trying too hard...that is unless you are a wholesaler and your goal is just to be remembered 

I'd definitely go over this application with a fine toothed comb.

Net result: time and hindsight has a nasty (or great) way of coloring deal quality.

So he wants those rooms repainted and also wants his bedroom repainted a different color.He has a "painter friend" lined up to do the work so I offer my tenant $450 toward painting the two rooms and tell him he will pay for the color change in the bedroom as that's personal preference (nothing wrong).Tenant says that's not enough money for his painter who wants $450 per room (total $1350) so we agree in writing he will pay me the $450 for the bedroom and I will get the painting done, covering the cost of the other two rooms myself (I know I didn't have to do this but I was trying to be nice).So I paint the rooms myself (they are perfect) but he's now refusing to pay saying he thought he was getting a professional painter for his money.... and wants to pay me less.He hasn't even moved in yet and I'm very worried I have a needy problem tenant.

He messed up the cuts (simple 90 degree chops), charged to order a different one, got the wrong color, then installed them so that they don't hang over the lip!
