Here is a home in the gated golf community of Del Tura Golf & Country Club in North Fort Myers that has everything. Well, almost everything. It sits on one of the most beautiful, premium lots in the entire community, with mature trees, a view of the lake, golf course and fountain in the rear, and an expansive community view from the front of the home.
With two bedrooms, two full baths (including an awesome Master Bath), one of the most desired, open floor plans in the community, enclosed lanai, exterior patio, two car attached garage, clean as a whistle, priced reasonably....what’s not to love?
Nothing, if you don’t mind a little bit of dated decor. Most folks looking to purchase a home, even resale, are on the lookout for the home that has it all. Exterior, interior, lot, landscaping, location, price...everything fits to a tee, right?
How often does that happen when searching for a home and working within a budget? Not all that much.
So if you have to make a concession, or put in a little bit of elbow grease, it’s a lot easier and less costly to do some updating on the interior of a home if all of the other factors have fallen into place.
Such is the case with 4319 Via Los Angeles in Del Tura Golf & Country Club in N Fort Myers, the home that is described above. With light turquoise carpet & window coverings throughout, wall paper that has been up for a number of years, vinyl flooring that is, well, a little boring, and white walls....yawn.
But guess what? Turquoise was ‘2010 Color of the Year’ in the home decorating world. There are some great color palettes that use shades of turquoise and they’re quite exciting.
Turquoise works well with most colors, including adding some excitement with neutrals and browns (one of my favorites), complements reds and pinks, creates a classic nautical look with deep blues, livens up all other greens, and is especially trend-setting with yellow-greens. These are just a few of the updated color combinations that turquoise offers. Find out more about color and other great home decorating ideas here.
Take that turquoise carpet at 4319 Via Los Angeles and use it as the base for a casual, 
updated look in this home. Away with those dated vertical blinds! Some simple, economical faux wood blinds will add instant personality and charm. Take down the tired light fixtures in the living & dining area and install an eye-catching fixture and ceiling fan.
Grab your paintbrush and make those little floral wall coverings disappear! Choose an accent color for the kitchen walls, select some funky and fun cabinet pulls, throw a couple of colorful rugs over the vinyl floor, add a few accessories and you’ve just created a brand new look and feel in the kitchen.
Paint the cabinets if you’re adventurous and working with a slim budget. The photo below shows oak cabinets that were painted to update them and compliment a particular decor style, and they look fantastic.
Paint color selection can make a world of difference in a room, and this home in Del Tura is no exception. Soft and subdued or bold and dramatic...create your style with wall color!
Keep things light and neutral on the walls, let in natural light at the windows as well as the beautiful views that surround this Del Tura home.
