Hi Lenka
"We were lucky to find a house in our price range. The previous owners had taken a wonderful care of the house and had chosen [ you can use only "chosen" ] nice neutral colours ..."- I would use past perfect tense to show that the action [in the second sentence] is previous to the one in the first sentence.
