This shouldn’t need to be said, but so many times sellers will try not to replace dated or worn carpet before selling their homes.  Look at the difference it makes in how a room feels:

Fireplaces are the focal point of the room and therefore should look great when selling your home. This was a fun, inexpensive fireplace remodel. We whitewashed the brick to make it more grey than brown. We painted the mantle white to match the painted trim in the house. And we added beautiful barnwood to the top and some built-in shelves…a necessity to hide all of those unsightly cables.

The homeowner did a lot of work to this house to prepare it before we brought in rental furniture.  Removing the drapes and neutralizing the wall color made all the difference!

Sometimes replacing ceramic tile just isn’t in the budget for home sellers so finding creative ways to work with what you have is necessary.  In the photos below, you will see how the light tile with dark grout makes it look very dated.  The color of the tile was actually perfect with the new wall color, so we just used a grout colorant to change the grout color.  The difference is amazing!
