new brunswick: Are you Classic or Trendy? - 09/18/10 11:27 AM
Are you Classic or Trendy?
When you consider your fashion and décor favorites, are you leaning towards classic or trendy designs?
Here are some classics to think about. Do you love a wing back chair? They seem to be right in about any home décor, even modern if the fabric is right. Do you love built-in bookcases? I saw a closet made into a reading room; three walls of bookcases and a center upholstered seat with many comfy pillows and just the right reading lamp attached to the wall. I would love that.
Faded oriental rugs; to some these … (0 comments)

new brunswick: Be Bold! It ain't easy being green! - 07/30/10 12:58 PM
Be Bold
How brave are you? I mean with colour, not zip lining or sky diving. You would think some people are going to jump from a plane without a parachute when painting a wall. It is only a can of paint. Try something different for a change.
I tried a bedroom with the walls and ceiling the same colour of sage green and after a season painted again. It was the colour and lighting that was wrong not the concept of the walls and ceiling the same colour.
Next time I painted the ceiling a light cream and the … (5 comments)

new brunswick: Have You Given it Your Most? - 05/15/10 02:46 PM
So you are selling your home. You cleaned and decluttered and painted everything white. Now you just wait for the sale. Have you actually tried your best? Did you look at other homes for sale and see how they are presented? Did you ever walk through Model Homes? Be honest and compare yours to the Model Home.
Everything you neglect doing that would make your home more sellable, will take money from your pocket. Who can afford to give away money? Not me!
You are going to have an Open House; did you sincerely give it your best or … (6 comments)

new brunswick: Need a Facelift? - 03/03/10 12:01 PM
Need a Facelift?
Does your room feel drab and need a brighter new look? How to create this new look without breaking the bank is the next trick. I have gathered a few suggestions to make this easy and cost effective for you.
Begin by taking a few photos around the room you want to change and sit down and look these over carefully. Often when you “see” your room in a photo you really notice all the things you would change.
Of course painting is the first thing considered in brightening a room. The fresh new … (5 comments)

new brunswick: Hot off the Press(Porch)! - 06/21/09 12:19 PM
I just finished a ReDesign for a great lady. I was able to be free in what I wanted to do and isn't that just the best way to work? She had so many treasures hidden away and some never had been taken from boxes. What potential she and her home had. Here are a few pictures of the project, I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.

new brunswick: While Shopping~~ - 06/19/09 09:43 AM
As I progress with this new career I am often asked to shop for a client and I really enjoy finding new places to shop and finding deals. I search on-line first for ideas and then see if I can get the item locally and then within New Brunswick, then Canada.
I have found some very unique stores and retailers who have been more than helpful. Rarely do I find someone who will not go the extra mile for me. Often I have to take pictures of an item and return with this for my client … (0 comments)

new brunswick: HAVE I GOT A BARGAIN FOR YOU? - 10/17/07 09:14 AM
HAVE I GOT A BARGAIN FOR YOU??? Looking to sell your house quickly and move on, Well its simple right? Just list your house, sit down, read the paper, and have a coffee or three. Slowly the low offers will trickle in, so don't be surprised. The market today is wide open for fast sales. BUT, usually the reality of this situation is, that you need the money from this house to purchase another. To sell fast you will have to list it as a Fixer Upper and not expect big money. OR... You can target your market, and price to … (13 comments)
