I am a sucker for kitchen buying appliances as much as the next girl. Do I have a Kitchenaid Mixer in my basement storage? Why, yes. Yes, I do. And do I have an entire cabinet in my kitchen solely devoted to appliances? Yes. Do I need a butler’s pantry just to hold my appliances …
I got food poisoning this week. It was fast and mean. And I’m pretty sure charcoal saved me from major pain and agony. And it isn’t the first time. Back in the day when I was a kid, I felt like I lived on pepto bismol. I drank that stuff about once a week for …
If you’re just starting home staging, check out this post about the basic process I used to stage our house to sell in 36 hours and get multiple offers.
