A Buyer’s Bathroom Blues

 Before and After Pictures of the Best Basic Bath Transformations

Clear the Counters


Clear the counters to create a feeling of cleanliness and space. Remove all of your hairdryers, pill boxes, tooth and hairbrushes, and any other toiletries that give away your personal preference in shampoo or moisturizer. This can make buyers feel as if the house is not only unkempt, but they are also imposing on your personal space. Let buyers see the beauty in your bath, not the beauty of the products concealing it.   
























Towels Tell the Story

Make sure to clear every surface in the bathroom, not just the counter tops. Towels strewn over the bathtub and a scale left on the floor also add to the impression of clutter and uncleanliness. Instead, pick up anything on the floor buyers can trip over and remove all towels, especially dirty ones, and replace them with clean, fresh, decorative towels that resemble those you would find at a five-star hotel. Stools and ottomans also send the message to buyers that this bathroom is a place to relax and unwind, creating a spa-like experience for your buyers.                                                                    

























The Devil is in the Details

Finally, make sure every detail is dealt with. Close the toilet seat, remove the garbage pail, and pick up cleaning products and extra rolls of toilet paper to give the bathroom a clean, fresh appeal. Kitchens and baths sell houses and these small changes can make a big difference to buyers in making sure your bath is at its best and brightest.

From Bland to Bam: How to stage a boring bedroom with basics like Bed in a Bag

Oftentimes people don’t know where to begin when prepping their home to sell. One of the first steps, and often one of the most difficult, is decluttering and depersonalizing the space we call home. Time spent living in a house brings years of knick knacks, family photos and torn and tattered furniture and fabrics. We often fail to notice the wear and tear our carpet, drapes and bedspreads have taken over the years. The hole in the throw pillow where our golden retriever Sophie pulled out the stuffing or the dip in the sofa where dad has a direct view to the television often goes unnoticed by household members, but focused on by potential buyers. Thus, the first step in preparing a house to sell is to pack up all the family photos, flowered vases and doilies knitted by Aunt Sue. Next, paint the walls a neutral color such as beige, white or the light gray in the bedroom below.   After this, minimize the amount of furniture in the room. Two nightstands, a dresser and ...

Prepping a home for sale may seem like a daunting task, especially when your space is slighter with less square footage. Focus on your smaller home’s strengths, while downplaying its weaknesses with these 10 tips to stage your condo,  townhouse  or tiny home. Tip #1 Minimize the Furniture In small spaces, less is more. Focus on putting only essential elements in the room, keeping them small in scale. Glass tables, like the ones on either side of this bed, are ideal because the clearness of the glass gives the impression of airiness and space, while hanging the one-piece lamp and side tables on the wall also helps clear floor space. Tip #2 Light up and declutter a tiny, dark bath Tip #3 Use a Round Dining Table in the Kitchen Buyers like being able to eat in the kitchen, but some kitchens may not offer the space to do so.

Often sellers forget that buyers are purchasing the house itself, not the objects inside it. In order to let buyers see what they are truly buying, use large, simple objects to accentuate the features of the house. Remove extra furniture and Knick knacks for a clean, simple look that is sure to impress buyers. Tip #1 The Bigger the Better When staging a home office, opt for a simple desk with clean, modern lines. Accentuate it with a ‘50s throwback chair, decorative desk lamp, and simple lap top. Also, a big TV screen mounted above the desk is ideal for offices that serve a dual purpose as a den or extra bedroom. Tip #2 Back to Basics Staging a living or family room with a neutral color sofa and throw pillows helps to anchor the room while placing a rounded coffee table in front gives buyers ample room to walk around and peruse their future purchase. A simple side table and floor lamp add the final touch to this basic, but beautiful room. Tip #3 ...
