I think putting a doggy wash by your back door is brilliant. Get him cleaned up from mud and stuff before he runs through the house!

I just love how an open concept makes a smaller space feel bigger. Seems these days, everyone wants a kitchen that opens up to the main entertaining/living area. The only thing that no one talks about is that you need to keep your kitchen picked up for it to look good!

I think this is an excellent article for those photographing their own home

Love the Eames chair! Talk about timeless design. I would love to have one.

Feel like your space could use a pop of color? An accent chair might be just the thing! It’s very chic, but also practical as it gives you extra seating.

Take a look at this before & after of a master bedroom! Now tell me that this wouldn’t help sell a house!

Boulder has had the luxury of being a seller’s market with inventory at an all time low. Most houses sell quickly! So why stage in a strong market?

Two important reasons:

1. Great on –line images for your home. The internet has changed the way people look for homes. 90% of buyers start their search on line, and are quickly turned off by pictures of bare, stark walls & floors (or cluttered occupied homes). Make sure your photos pop ! Or take it one step further…42% of buyers now use You Tube videos to view homes!
2. While it’s true that every house will sell…it’s a matter of price. Even if a house sells quickly in this great market, it doesn’t mean it sold for the amount it would have sold for if it had been professionally staged. Staged homes sell on a conservative average of 6% more than similar homes that have not.

My staged homes draw buyers in, make them fall in love with the home, and have a lasting impression.

Instead of creating one fixed look in your home, it’s great to have a versatile neutral base for walls and furnishings and have fun with big impact accents that you can easily change from year to year, or even from season to the next. Redesign in it’s simplest form!
