| Less is more! A buyer will feel drawn in the different living spaces and begin imagining themselves as the owner. |
Here's the same room from some different vantage points:

| Plenty of space for entertaining! |
Now that the great room is revealed, let's start from the beginning. Do you remember the entry?
The entry is the first impression and therefore, very important. Taking away some of the visual distractions is is key. You don't want your buyer to stop here but rather be guided into the rest of the house. We used colors in the hallway that would be repeated in the kitchen and the great room. This helps to draw the buyer in.
The entry is not the only thing a buyer sees when they first walk in. Typically, from the front door, one can see up to five different spaces at once. Make sure all these spaces work together and create a cohesive feel. For example, the powder room off the entry was one of those spaces. It needed to look fresh and modern (and not to mention, never used).On the way to the great room, the kitchen is on the right. This kitchen had many different color themes and may have been distracting to a new buyer. It was important to connect the kitchen not only to itself but the rest of the house as well. A new tile back splash gives the kitchen a modern edge...tiling tutorial coming soon.
Bedrooms are the place where people spend most their time. The last thing a buyer wants when walking into this room is to be reminded of the previous owner. It should feel as welcoming as a hotel, but less sterile. Take a look at the new bedrooms:
What was once a guest room officially became the master due to it's walk-in closet. Mission: turn guest/craft room into a relaxing master:
These two rooms shared a bath that previously had been wall papered. After paper removal and a fresh coat of paint, the bathroom is now part of a unified space that feels more like a suite than three separate rooms.
