Color your world

Smoke Restful blues are perennially popular, but with the piles of shades to pick from, getting it right can be a tough call. "This year's take is a spa-like blue that gets updated thanks to a sophisticated grey," says Benjamin Moore's colour spokesperson Sharon Grech. Most often you see soft blue paint colours in a bedroom or bathroom, but it can be just as striking in a living room with a contrasting-colour ceiling. Shown:

Powder Room gone wrong....

When construction is involved 
there's chances that something can go wrong. 
In this case, 1 feet was lost into this tiny powder room 
the challenge was the pipes being in the concrete heated floor,the pipes coming out and not at the right place 
I had a box custom built to cover the pipes and put the sink cabinet on top of it!
Custom built half a wall to take away the excess space 
  from behind the new toilet  
This wall was suppose to receive the toilet 
After buying a new and smaller toilet and put it side way and be able to circulated between the sink and toilet
I added a new dimension to the shelving 
If you like the twirling wallpaper, you can purchase it here
To make it look more shiny, I add some sticker glitter around the mirror!
The disco ball gives a cool effect at night!!!
Finally everything is possible with a good cabinetmaker, some creativity and patience. The powder room gone wrong was maybe losing 1 feet but the hallway next to it was gaining it!!! 
Happy ending...
Have a lovely day!

Realtors Six Reasons to Have a Stager on Your Team


 

  • 1.  I can save you time.  
  • At your request I will meet with your client before the property is listed to give a consultation and explain what needs to be done to sell the house quickly. This frees up more of your time for pursuing other leads, marketing, etc. 
  • 2.  I can help increase your revenue. 
  •  Statistics show that staging sells a house in about half the time and for more money than comparable unstaged houses.  This means a lower possibility of a price reduction and less money spent on marketing the property….which means more money in your pocket.
  • 3.  I can relieve you of the stress 
  • of telling your clients their house needs work.  Sometimes this can become awkward, but I am experienced in handling such situations.  Let me do the ‘dirty work’!
  • 4.  I will help you achieve a reputation as a Realtor whose listings always show well. 
  • 5.  I can ensure that your buyer's first impression is a WOW impression. 
  •  There is only one chance to make that all important good first impression.  Make sure your buyers get it.
  • 6I can send you referrals.  
  • From time to time, home owners who are having their home staged will ask me to recommend a good Realtor.  Of course I recommend those that use my services.
  • Staging is just one tool that can be implemented to help sell homes on the market.  If it is priced competitively, marketed effectively and staged beautifully, it will be a winning combination and the house WILL sell!

Before, After Living room

...When changing your furniture, always measure the space you live in
Then make sure you buy something not only beautiful but also comfortable and easy to maintain!
  Depending on your house needs and traffic and in mind where the new furniture will set place.
When I first moved into my new home I kept most of my furniture
.. for fun one day, I decided to posted my red sofa on Facebook. 
To my surprise, 2 days later it was sold!!! 
No more red sofa,  empty space it is
Now off I go choose the perfect white sofa to fit in my living area
Lucky me I found my sofa after 1 day of shopping
 A white living room was a dream of mine
What a girl wants, what a girl needs whatever makes me happy sets you free..
(Lyrics from Christina Aguilera)
If you are not attached to material, you can redecorate any rooms of your home! 
In a matter of  a flash I changed my living space and without any regrets
After all it is only materials...
My wish came true and my dog is happy!!!
