Create A Mondrian Painting!

If you don't have art for your walls try making it yourself! The Mondrian painting (above) is colorful and brings life to this space. You will need a pre-stretched canvas (available at Michael's), acrylic paint, and a paint brush. Tape the areas and fill in the blocks with color.

It's as easy as that! Complete step-by-step detailed information is available in my book, Cashing in on Design.

The "WOW" factor

I'm great at thinking outside of the box and with a little inspiration, I know you can be too! I believe that every room should have what I call the WOW factor. Something that makes the space stand out and makes a person say wow! Here's a good example of thinking outside of the box to get that wow response. I took a clear glass vase and filled it with colorful hand soaps instead of flowers. It is an unusual way to display and use both the vase and soaps - and it will make a lasting statement.

Real Estate 4 Factors

It is crutial that everyone who owns a home knows about this! There are four factors that effect the sale of a home:
1. Price
2. Condition
3. Location
4. Competition

Two of these factors YOU as a homeowner CAN control. The other two you cannot.
PRICE and CONDITION are the two factors that you can control. For more about what you can do to get the most out of your home whether you are selling now or in the future, refer to my book "Cashing in on Design."

After Kitchen

After:

We removed the wallpaper and cleaned the space so it sparkled showing the area and potential this kitchen had.

The result is a charming warm space to enjoy cooking and eating in!

Kitchen Clutter

Before:

This was a house I had listed. This is

what it looked like when we signed

the paperwork. The kitchen was dated and it had wallpaper on the walls. In addition, the kitchen was used as an office.

Art Idea!

I was recently in an automobile accident in which a woman hit the side of my car and glass went flying everywhere. I saved the glass and placed it in a vase to hold an arrangement together. The result is quite stunning - and it glistens when the sunlight hits it!

Problem Solver

This was a badly warped board under the kitchen sink, and cleaning supplies kept tipping over. My client was renting the house and the homeowner was out of the country. The idea was to get a quick fix without spending a lot of time and money.

I covered an old cookie sheet with contact paper and placed it on top of the warped board. My client now has a flat and secure surface to store cleaning supplies on.
