Update Your Bathroom with a MirrorMate Frame!

Update Your Bathroom with a MirrorMate Frame

I am so excited to share this video with you. If you are interested in updating and beautifying the look of your bathroom, then you need a MirrorMate frame!

We went out to meet with a homeowner in Allen, TX. We shared all of the beautiful styles and colors and then helped her select the frames that would compliment each bathroom. Then we measured each mirror and went back to the office to place the order.

When the frames were delivered, we installed them for the homeowner. The results are fabulous!

Selling a Home with Pets

Selling a Home with Pets

We love our furry friends but not every one is keen on pets; especially some of those potential home buyers. That is why it's very important to make sure that your home is free of pet odors, hair, and any pet items. In other words; make it look and smell like no pet has lived there!

As a home stager who meets home owners every week, I understand that it can be difficult to remove your pet from the home for a showing. If you work out of the home it can be almost impossible to pick up your pet for a 2:00p.m. showing.

I suggest asking a trusted neighbor or family member to pick up your pet for the times when you are not home; especially if you are the owner of a large dog! A friend of mine told me that a potential buyer came to look at her home but as soon as the buyer saw her large dog, he/she turned the other way and left! What a missed opportunity!

So, for those of you out there who are selling your home, don't miss an opportunity for an offer by not taking care to remove, board or crate your pets. For more information; watch this video starring my puppy, Penny!

Adding value to your home,
Holly

Is Your Address Visible?

So, I have been experimenting with various move making software. I made my recent movie in Picasa. It was easy and I have to admit that it was fun! Technology often overwhelms me but I think that I have gained a few skills.

I took photos of a small project and strung the photos together, added some music (from a sample of a few songs that were on my computer), wrote a few titles and voila, a movie was made and here it is!

Tip: make sure that your home address is visible. It's important for emergency vehicles (and their drivers :) to find your address!

Happy Spring!

Home Staging Dallas

Home Staging Dallas
I had the opportunity to stage a beautiful home in Dallas, TX. The home was newly renovated with extra square footage. Some wall art and accessories had been place in the home, but it was difficult for potential buyers to see how the long entry, living room and dining room could be used.

Here is a photo of the long space from the perspective of the dining room before the staging:
Here is a photo after the dining set is in place:


Here is a photo of the Dallas home from the entry before staging:

And, this is the photo of the living room and dining room after the staging:
The home is warm and inviting and now potential buyers can see the possibilities for each space.
