Currently browsing master bath inspiration and keep coming back to this one by @karrbick_design This should be the last major project of our home and we love the idea of incorporating wood. Wood cabinetry went away for a bit but it’s back! @housebeautiful said it best: This trend was huge in the '80s and '90s and (as all trends do) it's come back into style again. But the key to embracing it without letting your home feel like it's past it's prime is balancing the rich color of wood with modern influences (like all-white walls) and bold and colorful furnishings that won't get lost against the brown.

So much talk about fresh slates for 2021 So let’s talk about fresh slates for your home! Conscience sellers are already beginning to prep their homes for the spring market because they know it begins in January! There’s a ton of information out there, so besides hiring an informed agent who knows the local area well, here are 4 key prep items we recommend homeowners begin doing now if you plan to sell in the next 6 months: Add fresh coats of paint! Look around those fing...er prints from your sweet kids are likely all over the walls. And if you’ve gotten creative over the years and each room is a different color, remember that a neutral paint color will invite the most buyer interest! Clean carpets or replace flooring! Updated flooring is a huge selling point and flooring that needs to be updated is a major drawback for buyers. Revamping your flooring will bring an excellent return on your investment. Declutter & Stage! Rearranging furniture to highlight the best features of your home is a must. If your decor is taking away from showcasing your home, it’s best to tuck the knickknacks and clutter in storage. Curb appeal! Pressure wash your driveway, sidewalks, roof, and anything else that has acquired residue. Add planters, fresh flowers, and buy a new welcome mat. First impressions are everything! Bonus: updating your lighting doesn’t have to break the bank and makes a major impact! Check Lowe’s & Amazon for affordable and on-trend lighting. This chandelier in @washingtonschoolhouse is a showstopper! We added a similar one to our dining room that we snagged from amazon for under $200

One little nook in the basement is {almost} complete There’s still some trim and touch up work to finish but it’s funny to think we almost didn’t do anything with this wall when we were mapping out the layout we would have missed out on a fun little space for the kids! They can’t wait to sleep in the basement this weekend and watch movies! Happy Friday!

Everyone knows curb appeal is important, but it’s more than fresh pine straw or a well manicured lawn. Curb appeal is defined in a Homelight.com article as how attractive a house looks from the outside. And if you’re trying to sell your home, curb appeal is the first impression your home gives when buyers see the first listing photo or what they analyze after that ‘For Sale’ sign goes up in the yard. But just HOW important is curb appeal? According to the same article: ...A well-landscaped home is likely to fetch 5.5 12.7% more than one with no landscaping. 94% of Realtors have suggested sellers improve their curb appeal before listing a home for sale while 99% believe curb appeal is important in attracting a buyer. This colonial style home in the heart of Milton is an excellent example of a beautiful first impression & southern curb appeal It’s offered for $795,000 Do you agree?
