looked at a townhouse today formerly a Freddie foreclosure.  Sheetrock cut at base as if water damage.  Don't think it was a flood but probably a burst pipe.  Base cabinets in kitchen also missing.  

Property is winterized.

In addition to missing sheetrock, the ductwork is covered with plastic and cabinets, refrigerator, stove, and any openings are outlined with painters tape.  On the second floor, the attic ceiling is partially removed also.

Is this some sort of mold remediation or just winterization?  I am going to do an inspection on this one but am really curious.  There's no mold smell or dampness present.

Thanks.

@Ben Rao thanks for that info. I actually went right into Sherwin to price paint. Their 40% off sale begins on Friday. So instead of the Pro Mar (no special but $28 gal with REIA discount), I going for HGTV Home for $25. Wait B&G until Friday. Thanks.

I think some were unclear from my post.  We have wall color.  We always use the same.  I was asking whether baths should ALL be the same and whether Kitchen should be a totally different color than baths and rest of home.

Also, should vanities in baths match the kitchen cabinets, but maybe use a different color (same style, different colors) AND should all baths have the same vanities or should I do them a little different for more character.  Costs are the same either way.

Thanks all.

@Nicole Pettis that does make sense and we are going to knock down a wall to make it open to the dining room inasmuch as the kitchen sits at the very back of the house open to the living room on the left but only a small doorway to the dining room on the right.  Thank you for your help.

Great advice so far.  I'm going to check some of those out.

Did I mention that I am hooked on bigger pockets.  What a great resource!!!

@Nicole Pettis Thank you for those photos.  I love that bathroom color.  Now, I am sure that I won't match the baths to the rest of the home. We do use the tan color on the walls.  Just wasn't certain what to do with the baths or the kitchen.

Good Morning All,

I'd love to hear about the colors rehabbers are using for kitchens/baths.  I am doing my first kitchen gut.  I have only had to do baths in the past and spruce up the kitchen.  This time, the kitchen and 2.5 baths are being gutted.  We use a neutral color on all walls in the home.

Questions:

1. Suggested kitchen colors and suggested bath colors?

2. Do you use the same colors in ALL bathrooms AND the kitchen?  Or Same for all bathrooms and different for kitchen?

3. Do you match vanity style to kitchen, but maybe a different color than kitchen cabinets OR totally different style OR do you make all bathrooms similar yet different from the kitchen.

House located in East Cobb, GA if that matters, but not a real high end house (ARV about $200,000). Cost is not really a factor because paint and vanities will cost the same regardless of color.

I'd just like to hear what other experienced flippers are doing.

Thank you.  Great Day everyone.

@Daniel Brownlow Welcome. I'm a newbie in Atlanta also. I've only been on the site for a short time and all I can say is wow. It's been a phenomenal resource for me. I also joined the Atlanta REIA. I'm presently working on my first flip in East Cobb. Just got possession after a drawn out eviction process.

Well, enough about me, welcome to the site.

@Andrew, I'm not sure about that, but with this guy, I didn't want to do anything that could be even questioned as illegal.  He seemed to know the system and even tried to use more stories with the police yesterday.  Thankfully, they reviewed the paperwork and ignored his word.  One win for the landlord.
