Adjunct to Kitchen and Bath Facelifts

For about 25 years, I have been calling on my friend Leslie Ayers for advice before putting homes on the market.  She has never failed to make a significant difference in the sale$$$time factor in the homes she has helped with.  Leslie is the owner of L.A. Business Group, designers and stagers.

Here are 2 before pictures of a kitchen Leslie just did for one of her clients:

This kitchen had indoor-outdoor carpet, oak cabinets (but the cabinets were good quality), dated wallpaper, yellow tile backsplash, generally needed an upgrade. Leslie suggested that the owners install wood floors in the kitchen and family room.

Then L.A Business Group painted the cabinets. They painted the backsplash white and the kitchen and family room walls a new color. In addition, Leslie installed a new light fixture and cabinet pulls. Then they staged both rooms. Walla! quite a change!

Here are some pictures of very modest changes to a bathroom.

Basically this bath had old whitewash cabinets with a slight pink cast. Leslie chose a new paint color, new light fixtures, new cabinet knobs. A huge difference for a very small outlay of money.

Here is the after

Just a few simple staging touches warm it up

A 2 or 3 hour consultation with an experienced designer like Leslie Ayers, can give homeowners the tips they need to transform a home from dated to salable on a shoestring budget. A designer can work with what you have, find creative ways to refresh, reuse and recycle to enhance the presentation of your home.
