Stage for Sale Tip: A Simple Face Lift Adds Value and Help Sell Quickly
A little imagination, effort, and money can go a long way to helping you get your best price.
What was done in this condo for example was the following: 1) worn dry looking cabinetry was renewed by light washing and then cleaning and polishing with a non toxic product called Howard’s Furniture Polish available at Home Depot 2) the old dated oak stock cabinets that had no hardware were given a further face lift by adding beautiful pewter ones 3) two key walls were painted with a no VOC soft sage green paint. 4) a simply focal point was created with a colorful hand painted Italian ceramic plate 5) under counter task light and track light were added for more drama and function 6) the old worn sheet vinyl flooring was replaced with a rich looking snap and lock laminate floor that extended into the front entry foyer.
