This was due in part 10 missionary
work against the bill by a number of

This Question 10 Important In Painting

A proper color scheme is extremely
important in painting a house. 1t

in the price the property will bring on
the market.
AS to the exterior, a good deal de.

of the house, and upon its surround
ings. For a good interior effect you
must consider the size Of the rooms,
the light, etc.
