HOW TO STAGE TO MAKE SMALL SPACES LOOK BIGGER
A seller can make small spaces appear bigger for the buyer by using these 5 simple tips:
Get rid of most of the stuff. Ask sellers to box everything they don’t need daily, and anything smaller than a football. Clean off countertops, go through cupboards and built-ins, remove knick-knacks. Smaller spaces favor minimalist designs. Leaving just a bare minimum of stuff will open up a room, creating the feeling of more space.
Take down heavy drapes and window coverings. Have sellers leave the windows bare or hang sheer linen curtains. The house will immediately feel brighter and … (5 comments)

Because they’re generally a smaller element in your landscape, screens allow for plenty of flexibility in terms of looks and size. You may find that a single screen or a set of screens will … (5 comments)

This major do-it-yourself project requires careful preparation and execution and a fair amount of time to protect your valuable floor. Here’s a summary: 
Type of wood floor: DIY refinishing of solid 3/4-inch hardwood is OK, but don’t attempt DIY refinishing of layered engineered wood—leave this to the pros. Prepare your room: Refinishing usually means sanding the floor, so you’ll need to remove curtains, furniture, doors, and other items that may need protecting or will be in the way.
