DIY Lazy Susans for your Pantry

Last updated on: April 1, 2013 at 8:54 pm By Jennifer Fancher

Commercial Lazy Susans are expensive, but they are so easy to make yourself! In your local big box hardware store, they sell Lazy Susan kits. The one we purchased didn’t come with screws, so have someone help you with the size. We purchased 3 rounds of wood found in the trim section of the hardware store and cut scraps of MDF to fit the Lazy Susan kit. First, measure and mark where you want to attach it to the wood...

Staging a Pantry – Before and After

Last updated on: March 29, 2013 at 9:00 am By Jennifer Fancher

Staging a Pantry sounds pretty silly, but when you want to appeal to a cook or coupon-er, then you need to make sure it looks organized and spacious. While this looks organized, it still looks junky and cluttered. You want to be able to show a potential buyer that all of their food will fit in the pantry, regardless of size. As you can see, there was a lot of unused space and disorganization. Think outside the box and think... Read more

Staging your Kitchen is such a simple task to do. I already discussed the importance of having an Impeccably Clean Kitchen, but now I’d like to show you my before and afters. My kitchen before wasn’t in bad shape and I decorated it to my tastes. I took some test photos to see how they would look on a listing.

Depersonalizing your Home is key to helping a potential buyer envision themselves in your house. Sometimes it can be as simple as removing a few items.

Before and After: Front Porch

Last updated on: March 23, 2013 at 10:12 am By Jennifer Fancher

The Front Porch – it should tell a buyer to come and rest, sit a while and enjoy. It’s the welcome entrance into your home. In my post about Curb Appeal, I showed the ugly porch. For a reminder: Here’s the Before: Dead plant, closed off seating, not a happy entrance. But add a pop of color and it’s a bright, welcoming porch. Now the AFTER: Hang a simple wreath with touches of color. I had this old grapevine... Read more

We’ve talked about the importance of making sure your Curb Appeal and Neutral Decor are in place before listing. The same goes for Depersonalizing. You are selling a House, not your home.
