Went on an appointment for a mid-century house with a favorite agent. The homewoner was an older gentleman that had lost his wife and was wandering around in this too-big-for-him house. I met with the "approval" committee and figured out what needed to be done with the house ON A TIGHT BUDGET!!! After an hour of touring and listening to everyone, it was decided that a few major changes needed to take place. Since the potential buyers were going to be in theri early 30' s we needed to create a "HIP PAD". The three things that were decided on were to replace the kitchen nook light, dining room light and a new kitchen faucet.... Great you say: but all for $200.00.... I thought and thought about where to go and since IKEA was 10 minutes away, that is where I started and pretty much ended. Everything I needed was there and was hopefully within my budget. When all was said and done, I was able to purchase: a nook light, dining room light, faucet, soap despenser, bathroom vanity liight (where there was not one) all lightbulbs... Total $208.38. watch for this transformation in upcoming weeks.. For more budget minded tips, follow our blog at www.onstage-online.com
