They then proceeded to take away everything from the tables and bookcases, even removed pictures and artwork! The sterile rooms and white walls made everything feel stark and cold. Kind of like a "welcome to the hospital" sort of vibe.<br />
<br />
The trick is to paint your walls a color that blends in with your décor, and is neutral enough that the buyers can picture moving their furniture right in and having it feel like home.<br />
<br />
One color I love is Benjamin Moore's Wish. It is a soft gray that will go with almost anything. Another good one is Benjamin Moore's Cotswold. A little darker than Wish and a scootch more beige, but also soft and neutral. <br />
<br />
Of course these are not the only good staging colors. You need to choose what works best in your space ... but these are just beautiful.<br />

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif";">What a
difference a floor makes. Many sellers tell me they want to leave their carpeting
and “let the buyers deal with putting in hardwood floors if they don’t like the
carpet”. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif";">But wall-to-wall
carpeting in the main living areas makes the house look dated. Plus buyers really
don’t want to live through the hassle of installing or refinishing floors when
they are in the middle of settling into their new home. Moving is hard enough.
They want nice floors, neutral colors on the walls, relatively new appliances
and nothing that is in need of repair.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif";">This new
floor was certainly worth the investment. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Fresh paint and a shuffling of furniture … and
this room is ready for the market. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif";">When
staging a home, it is always a good idea to make a small room look as big as
possible. The easiest way to do this is to remove furniture and minimize
accessories.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif";">In the
formal living room below we eliminated the loveseat, desk with its antique
chair, small accent chair and afghan.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif";">Moving the
sofa made the room look longer and placing the large wing chair in the far
corner draws your eye into the room. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif";">A nice
neutral color on the wall replaced the pink. It was a nice soft color, but with
appeal to a limited number of buyers.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif";">The real
trick in a room like this is to go for minimalism, but keep the cozy.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br />
<span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 11pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">A
young lady confidently walked around the room with a raised glass of water
while leading a seminar and explaining stress management to her audience. <o:p></o:p></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 11pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Everyone
knew she was going to ask the ultimate question, 'Half empty or half full?' She
fooled them all. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 11pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">"How
heavy is this glass of water?" she inquired with a smile. Answers called
out ranged from 8 oz. to 20 oz. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif";"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">She
replied, "The absolute weight doesn't matter. It depends on how long I
hold it. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">
</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Symbol; mso-bidi-font-family: Symbol; mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;"><span style="font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font: 7pt/normal "Times New Roman";"> </span></span></span><!--[endif]--><span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif";">If I hold it for a minute, that's not a problem. <o:p></o:p></span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Symbol; mso-bidi-font-family: Symbol; mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;"><span style="font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font: 7pt/normal "Times New Roman";"> </span></span></span><!--[endif]--><span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif";">If I hold it for an hour, I'll have an ache in my right arm. <o:p></o:p></span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Symbol; mso-bidi-font-family: Symbol; mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font: 7pt/normal "Times New Roman";"> </span></span></span></span><!--[endif]--><span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif";"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">If I hold it for a day, you'll have to call an ambulance.</span> <o:p></o:p></span></span></li>
</ul>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">
<span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 11pt;">In
each case it's the same weight, but the longer I hold it, the heavier it
becomes." <o:p></o:p></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 11pt;">She
continued, "and that's the way it is with stress. If we carry our burdens
all the time, sooner or later, as the burden becomes increasingly heavy, we
won't be able to carry on." <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 11pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">"As
with the glass of water, you have to put it down for a while and rest before
holding it again. When we're refreshed, we can carry on with the burden -
holding stress longer and better each time practiced. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 11pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So,
as early in the evening as you can, put all your burdens down. Don't carry them
through the evening and into the night. Pick them up again tomorrow if you
must. </span></span></div>

Not a terrible situation, but not ideal. Guests who enter do not have a place
to stop and be welcomed before being “launched” into your home.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; mso-no-proof: yes;">Building a wall to create a formal entry foyer is usually not an option.
In most cases that would only make the living room very small. Luckily, you can
work wonders with furniture!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; mso-no-proof: yes;">In the room below we used a bookcase to create a divider. We happened to
have one that opened on both sides so we could use baskets and accessories to
make the entry and living room attractive. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If it only opened on one side, I would have
faced the back to the living room and placed a piece of furniture against that
side.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; mso-no-proof: yes;">A long, narrow console table would also work very well as a room divider. What if you don’t
have a bookcase or console table? Furniture placement can also do the job.
Place a chair backed up to the foyer on an angle with a side table and lamp
next to it. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; mso-no-proof: yes;">A pretty rug, a light fixture and a small table with a mirror or picture over it will also help make the entry feel
special. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; mso-no-proof: yes;">Welcome home!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

out of them!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Buyers want to picture
themselves and their families living in a home. It is important to make your
rooms look inviting.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; mso-no-proof: yes;">This hallway served as a passageway from the front of the home to a small
library and family room. The before picture looks like a few pieces of
furniture were just placed there so the space would not be empty. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; mso-no-proof: yes;">We did not have to do much to make it look like a real living space .. a
picture on the wall, a little tea setup on a table, a reading chair with a
lamp. Wouldn’t you like to spend time there?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Century Gothic;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Century Gothic;">This is an accounting office in a lovely historic home. The
challenge was to make the reception area warm and inviting, but also keep it
professional, not “homey”.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Century Gothic;">Amazing what a few changes can do!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Century Gothic;">We moved the furniture just a bit to create a cozier
grouping and brought in new side tables. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Century Gothic;">The new wall color and coordinating valances made the
biggest impact on the space. The striped print fabric added warmth without
being fussy. Hanging the valances right up to the ceiling made the room look a little
taller.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Century Gothic;">You may not know this, but January is “National Get
Organized Month”.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>What perfect timing! A
new year, a fresh start … time to tackle those projects you have been avoiding,
and get control of all your spaces.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Century Gothic;">Why do we end up with out-of-control closets and drawers? Most
likely it is because cleaning them out is not a particularly fun project, and we
can think of a lot of ways we would rather spend our time. Also, because the
whole idea can be a bit overwhelming. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Century Gothic;">Well, here is the trick: Eat the elephant one bite at a
time. Just attack one drawer a day, and in a week you will have made a major
dent in your clutter situation.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Century Gothic;">The process is simple.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Century Gothic;">First: Empty the drawer, clean out all the dust bunnies that
have accumulated in the corners, and then sort everything you took out into four
piles:<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Century Gothic;">Next: Organize the items that are going back into the drawer
and decide if you need containers (boxes, jars, plastic bags, baskets, etc.) to
separate the various categories.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Century Gothic;">Finally: Put away the things that need to go somewhere else.

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Century Gothic;">Closets can be very scary. Again the trick is to take it one
step at a time. One day go through all your shoes and bags. Then tackle
sweaters … then pants. You get the idea.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Century Gothic;">Do you know what the coolest thing about all this is? You’ll
save time and frustration because you will actually be able to find things when
you need them. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Century Gothic;">And as a special reward … I’ll bet you discover stuff you
forgot you even owned. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Century Gothic;">Good luck!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Hello 2015!
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Century Gothic;">There is always something invigorating about starting a new
year … an excitement about getting a fresh start. Fixing things that are
broken.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Launching new adventures.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Making new friends. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Century Gothic;">I received a daily calendar for Christmas that has little
thoughts for each day. When I opened it to January 1<sup>st</sup>, there was a
quote from John Barrymore I would love to share with you: <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Century Gothic;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>“Happiness
often sneaks in through a door you didn’t know you left open.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<o:p><span style="font-family: Century Gothic;"> </span></o:p></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Century Gothic;">Isn’t that terrific? I wish you all many happy, open doors
in this fresh, New Year.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Century Gothic;">My paternal grandparents came from small towns outside of
Naples, Italy. My father always told us about eating the “pizza fritta” his
mother made for the family. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Century Gothic;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Century Gothic;">When I researched Pizza Fritta the description was for a round,
flat pizza dough that had tomato sauce and cheese on it. I’m sure that is very
good, but my Dad’s pizza fritta was a breakfast treat – extremely delicious …
and very fattening. </span><span style="font-family: Wingdings; mso-ascii-font-family: "Century Gothic"; mso-char-type: symbol; mso-hansi-font-family: "Century Gothic"; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;"><span style="mso-char-type: symbol; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;">J</span></span><o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Century Gothic;">We serve it every year as a special treat on Christmas
morning.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Here is how it is made:<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Century Gothic;">(You can make your own bread dough, or cheat like I do and
buy a couple of loaves of frozen all-purpose dough.)</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Century Gothic;">Fill a skillet about half way up with vegetable oil and heat
it until almost boiling.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Century Gothic;">Break off pieces of dough the size of the palm of your hand. Then p</span><span style="font-family: Century Gothic;">ull and stretch each piece with your hands until it is ½ -
1 inch think. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Century Gothic;">Place the pieces into the oil when it is hot. (Flick a
little water into the oil. If it bubbles it is ready.)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Century Gothic;">When the pieces rise to the top and are light brown on the
bottom side (peek with a slotted spoon), turn them over. When they are brown
all over, remove them and place them on paper towels to drain the excess oil.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Century Gothic;">We serve the pizza fritta with good maple syrup (heated) and
powdered sugar. Just pull small pieces off each hunk and dunk them in the syrup. Yum!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div style="border-color: currentColor currentColor windowtext; border-style: none none solid; border-width: medium medium 1.5pt; mso-element: para-border-div; padding: 0in 0in 1pt;">
<div class="MsoNormal" style="border: currentColor; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-border-bottom-alt: solid windowtext 1.5pt; mso-padding-alt: 0in 0in 1.0pt 0in; padding: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Century Gothic;">I also cook up some bacon to serve with it. The salty taste is a perfect counterpoint to the sweetness of the syrup.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="border: currentColor; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-border-bottom-alt: solid windowtext 1.5pt; mso-padding-alt: 0in 0in 1.0pt 0in; padding: 0in;">
<o:p><span style="font-family: Century Gothic;"> </span></o:p></div>
</div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Century Gothic;">Enjoy your family traditions. Have a special holiday. My
very best wishes to you all.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Century Gothic;">The tree is up and decorated! After agonizing over whether
or not to buy an artificial tree, we went and got a real one after all. I have
to share with you my new approach to choosing a tree…<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Century Gothic;">It was freezing cold and windy the night we went out to buy
our tree. The trees were all tied up tightly with string and piled up against a
wall. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Century Gothic;">I decided the only thing that really mattered was a straight
branch at the top for our angel. She has been with us since our very first tree
when we got married and we just love having her appear each year and share the
holiday with us.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Century Gothic;">So I looked at all the trees, found one with the perfect
top, and said “that’s the one”! The tree guy started to cut it loose in order
for us to check out the shape. I told him not to bother. Just put it up on top
of the car all wrapped up. We want to be surprised.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Century Gothic;">It was way too cold to be agonizing over tree shapes, and I
figured if one side wasn’t great, I’d just face it against the wall.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Century Gothic;">Look how pretty it turned out to be!! <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Century Gothic;">In a previous post I talked about how looking at all the
trees and choosing the perfect one was part of the fun of buying a real tree. I
was wrong. On this cold night our 10 minute quick decision time was just right.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Century Gothic;">Merry Christmas!!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

What a difference! A new neutral color scheme makes the room look brighter, larger and more contemporary<br />
I love the new sink. The cabinet provides a place to hold towels and all the other miscellaneous things we need in a bathroom. And it also hides the pipes which are never pretty to look at. The dark stain grounds the room and breaks up all the light colors.<br />
Light grey flooring and white wall tiles and shower curtain add to the clean bright look.<br />
New window treatments and accessories add pops of color.<br />
A small bathroom can certainly be quite lovely!<br />
