Front up

It may sound strange but first impressions for a house really do last. Buyers will drive past without you even knowing

Its imparative that

• Your garden is well groomed
• The front door is in good working order
• Cobwebs are no where to be seen

I am sure that you have said that first impressions count!

Simple makeover idea 1- Fresh paint

A new paint colour or a fresh coat of paint will brighten up any room in the house.

                                                         Great colour


Expert tip: Paint the walls white to brighten up your home. Remember neutral is best when you're selling so that potential buyers can customise the property to suit their tastes.

                                              So fresh

Quote of the week!

First open home

Your first open home will probably be a little daunting so much to do to get organised. Make a list of what needs to be done and try and start working on that list asap. When the day finally arrives I suggest some fresh flowers, perhaps brew some coffee and burn some candles. Now you are all set for your first open home. Good luck and remember first impressions really do count.

Relax!

How cool is this? Sure to create the perfect wow factor!

Tips for moving

Make certain your beds are the last pieces of furniture packed on the removalist truck. They will be the first off, and immediately you can set them up. Put on bed linens and pillows as soon as possible after set-up. At the end of a long moving day, it is nice to have the beds ready and waiting!

Prior to moving day put all the things you will for the first night in your new home in a box. That way you will not be searching through a maze of boxes for cups, tea etc.....

 As soon as you walk into your new house, unpack your towels, toilet paper and bathroom toiletries, and deposit those suitcases full of clothing in each room.

Quote of the week!

Dirty sink

Don't worry about the dirty dishes and pots in the sink. People will understand you were in a rush to get out the door to get the kids to school  and get to the office on time.

WRONG: Buyers will see you as the lazy type. They start to think what else doesn't get looked after and taken care of around the property.

Kitchens are are real selling point. Often the focal point of a home.

Bathroom Bliss!

This bathroom is sure to impress. Check out pinterest for more great bathroom ideas!

Great blog!

Following the launch of their debut print collection at the Vipp flagship store last year in Copenhagen,  they are really excited to announce that we are launching a few new prints at the end of the month including the AMSTERDAM print (above) and the MELBOURNE print (below). Check out the Bodie Fou style blog. It is one of my favourites. Sure to give you some great styling ideas.

White..

Inspire your buyer! You can never go wrong with a little White!

Cosy Outdoors!

Now this is what I call a fantastic outdoor entertaining area, sure to please the potential buyer. Fireplaces are all the rage at the moment. For those who don't have a big budget, check out Bunnings they have some awesome fire pits.

                       

My Space!

One of my favourite pieces of art. I found this painting in Vietnam and had it framed. I just love it. Makes a great statement, don't you think?
