The Psychology of Selling A House
The process of selling a house is hard on homeowners. You have to figure out how much your home is worth, list it for sale, and deal with buyers who want to haggle over the price. But there’s more to selling a home than just trying to get the most money out of it. Research shows that buying and selling houses can be just as emotionally taxing—and even traumatic—as buying and selling cars or other large items that require significant commitments of time and money. The good news is that we know how psychology factors into these major life events, which means we can help you better understand what you’re going through when selling your home so that you can make an informed decision about whether now really is the right time for such an undertaking!
The intense work of fixing up a house can be rewarding, but it’s also exhausting.
Fixing up a home can be an incredibly rewarding experience, but it’s also exhausting. You have to put in a lot of time and effort to make your house look good enough to sell.
You may not get much sleep while you’re fixing up your house because you’ll probably have to work around the clock to get everything done before the deadline set by your real estate agent.

Modernizing A Contemporary Home With Vintage Details
If you’re tired of the same, stereotypical modern home and want something different, vintage is a great way to add personality and character to your space. It’s also a fun way to add color and texture without straying too far from what you already love about your home. Here are some tips for integrating vintage details into your contemporary home:
Reclaiming the glamour of your home
Glamour is a state of being that can be achieved by anyone, at any time. It’s about feeling like you’re living in a luxury hotel or on an island in the Caribbean, even if you’re not actually there.
Glamour isn’t about material things or money–it’s about creating an atmosphere and experience that makes people want to stay forever. If your home has been feeling dull lately, it might just need some glamour added back into its life!
Here are some ways you can reclaim the glamour of your home:

Modern Kitchen Designs That Are Simple
If you’re looking to remodel your kitchen, there are plenty of ways to go modern. It’s easy to get overwhelmed with all the choices out there and end up making decisions that you’ll regret later on. That’s why we’ve compiled this list: it has everything you need for a simple yet professional-looking kitchen design.
Take a cue from Scandinavian kitchens.
Take a cue from Scandinavian kitchens.
Scandinavian kitchens are very minimalist, featuring clean lines, white walls and floors, and lots of open space. They also have plenty of storage space–you’ll see sleek cabinets with glass doors or cupboards with sliding doors that hide pots and pans from view. Scandinavian kitchens often feature an island or peninsula that separates the cooking area from the rest of the room for increased safety when working near hot stoves or ovens. Natural light is another key element in this design style; many modern Scandinavian kitchens have skylights to bring in natural light during winter months when sun hours are low (or if you live somewhere like Alaska!).
Minimalist kitchen design.
Minimalist design is a great way to make your kitchen feel bigger and more open. It’s also perfect for small spaces, as it doesn’t take up much room visually or physically. Minimalism is environmentally friendly, since it uses fewer materials and resources than other styles of decorating might do. This makes it affordable too!
If you’re someone who likes to cook at home often (or if you just want an easy cleanup), then minimalist … READ MORE >>>
Remodel Your Basement Before It’s Too Late
The basement is often thought of as a dark, musty place where you store old furniture and rarely visit. But if you have a basement, there’s a good chance that it’s one of the most important rooms in your home – it just doesn’t look like it yet. Basements are great for entertaining guests, but if yours is used primarily for storage or utility purposes, there’s no reason why you can’t make it even more valuable by turning it into something else entirely: a playroom for kids or an office for yourself; an in-law suite or guest room; or even just another bedroom. If done properly, a basement renovation will make the most out of your space without increasing its footprint – and before long, you’ll find yourself enjoying this hidden gem more often than ever before!
Basements – especially when they’re finished – are a great deal of fun to design and build.
Basements are a great place to add value to your home. They’re also a great place to add room, functionality and storage. Basements have been used for decades as an important part of many homes. Some people even use them as their primary living space!
Basements – especially when they’re finished – are a great deal of fun to design and build. With a little imagination, you can turn that dark dungeon into something wonderful!

Lessons Learned from My Kitchen Renovation
I’ve always loved cooking, but I used to dread my kitchen. The cabinets were outdated and mismatched, the countertops were dull, the floor looked like it belonged in a basement and there was no way anyone would ever want to eat what I made in that room. So finally I decided it was time for a serious renovation. But before you dive into your own project—whether you’re upgrading one room or an entire home—here are some of the lessons I learned along the way:
Plan for the worst.
When planning your kitchen renovation, it’s important to think about the worst-case scenario. You have a contract with your contractor, but what if they don’t live up to their end of the deal? What if they go out of business or get hit by a bus before the project is done? What if you find out that your beautiful marble countertops are actually made from asbestos and will kill anyone who comes into contact with them?
You should always plan for these kinds of things–that way, when something does go wrong (and it will), you’ll be prepared for whatever comes next!
Check out a few stores.
- Check out a few stores. When comparing prices and materials, it’s important to note that the same product can be listed at different prices from one store to another. Make sure you’re comparing apples with apples by checking out both the price and quality of materials at each place you visit–and don’t forget to ask if
