When it comes to Staging your home remember to think – MONEY! Today’s buyer is picky, and looking for the PERFECT home. You know, the one that looks like a model. They no longer are willing to walk into a well-used home to visualize!

Because of the huge inventory of homes that builders are now sitting on – and paying interest on – realtors and homesellers are having to find new ways to compete more than ever before. Builders, as most know, have been merchandising their model homes for years because they know this is what it takes to get their homes sold fast, and for more MONEY. They simply figure in their cost of merchandising as a cost of doing business, knowing they will net a large return on their investment! Also, new home builders have begun lowering prices, offering HUGE incentives i.e. free upgrade packages, paying closing costs, and even putting a car, color of your choice, in the garage for you in order to boost sales and reduce their inventory. These are the builders you, as individual realtors and sellers, are now in competition with!

As a professional designer in Central Florida, I have worked with these builders for more than twenty years. I can tell you what is involved in Merchandising a Model Home versus Home Staging an existing home. You will find there are many more similarities than differences when the existing home is well staged.

In the following are highlights of some of these similarities and differences:

* Remove all clutter – In Home Staging this is a fundamental rule. Remove all clutter from every room . . . including closets and drawers. (Trust me, the buyer will be looking!) Don’t forget corners and countertops, and remove unnecessay pieces of furniture that you have inherited from your Great Aunt Gertrude. Get rid of it. Decluttering makes rooms look and feel larger, (remember they are buying square footage) as well as sends the important message to the buyer that “this is a home that has been well loved and cared for!”

In Model Merchandising our job is much easier. Noone has yet ‘lived’ in the home so we don’t have years of ’stuff” to declutter. We do have to know when enough is enough though. Accessories and furniture are used to profile a lifestyle, create memory points, emotional connections and the WOW effect . . . all which will translate into a ‘great first impression’ when people enter the home. But good model merchandisers know when it’s time to stop. Their main function is to showcase the model so the HOME takes center stage . . . NOT the furnishings. This translates into open, airy, light, balanced . . . and yes . . . UNCLUTTERED rooms.

* Check your walls – In Home Staging the premise is to depersonalize the home as much as possible. While you enjoy your walls that are galleried with family photographs and hand made works of art from your children – your potential buyer will not. And neutralize the color choices for your walls overall, to appeal to the broadest band of buyers. Note: I said go neutral on walls overall!As in model merchandising, I would still recommend you use bolder colors to accent key areas or architectural details to give the home wamth and personality.

In Model Merchandising, designers generally will have more flexibility to create their own story because noone is actually living in the home. We research the demographics of the area, and are able to specifically target that market. For example, we may show you a teenaged girls bedroom who happens to be a cheerleader for the local high school – or possibly a boys room, who obviously is on the football team for your State University. If the home is located in a golfing community we will make sure to include a set of clubs in the master bedroom closet. In both home staging and model merchandising, the goal is the same . . . to sell your buyer on the home . . . both as a product, and a lifestyle!

* Aroma – In Home Staging, smells always need to be objectively and gently addressed by the stager – as an outsider. Homes that have been lived in have inherrent odors, which are often not detected by those living there, as they have become desensitized to them over time. Check soft agents, (i.e.carpeting, drapery, fabrics on furniture, etc.), as these fibers will absorb odors. Do a PET CHECK to remove any stains or signs of Felix or Fido! If these odors cannot successfully be steam cleaned out of the fibers then REPLACE, REPLACE . . . REPLACE! Nothing can kill a sale faster, or cause a bigger price reduction than offensive odors that could, and should have been previously addressed!

InModel Merchandising, creating pleasant aromas matter. Again, though models are easier as there has been noone yet living there, we still pay very special attention when addressing this to detail. We often have to caution the sales people NOT to cook their lunches or burn bags of popcorn in the microwaves. People will buy not only what they see . . . but what they smell!

Natural, clean scents are preferrable for both homes that have been staged or merchandised. Fresh flowers, potpourri, herbs, and of course fresh air. Open up the home as much as possible before showing. Avoid unnatural scents such as plug ins, sprays and oils as a consideration for those with allergies. These methods are often even more offensive than the odors you’re trying to eliminate!

* Setting the Mood – For Home Staging and Model Merchandising alike, this is a very important component to successful selling. Open blinds, turn ALL fans and lights on, have soft classical or smooth jazz softly playing in the background . . . SET THE STAGE!

Remember, home buying is an emotional purchase, and, for most of us, one of the largest investments we will make. Home Staging statistically has been proven to be one of the most effective and affordable ways to give realtors and home sellers a much needed competitive edge for this slower market . . . transforming homes into a showplace designed to appeal to the broadest range of potential buyers!

If you thought that bed bugs were things that your parents just thought up on their own, you’re wrong. There are really bed bugs and they really can enter into your bed while you sleep at night. Although many don’t realize it, bed bugs are creatures that you can have in your home right now. You may think that there’s no chance of that happening, but in reality, they are there. You should take the time to find out if you have them and then, if you do, you should get your home treated, as they are likely living throughout the fabrics in your home!

Where Are They?

The first thing to realize is that bed bugs may be lurking in your bed. Take a few minutes to check out your bed. Don’t just look at the sheets, but look under them. Look in the folds of the mattress, including along the edges where the mattresses are sown together. If you see tiny little black marks, those are the droppings from bed bugs. Usually you won’t see the creatures unless it is late at night. Generally they can burrow their way into the mattress itself and live there. But, they can also live in the walls of your bedroom. As long as they are within a few feet of your bed, they are ready and able to lie in wait for you! You may never actually see these creatures, either.

Another sign that you have bed bugs happens to be on your body. Most of the time, bed bugs will come into your bed, bite you in one location, draw blood to drink, then move to another location, generally in a line that runs with your vein. If you have unexplained marks on any part of your skin, it may be do to them. Or, you may notice blood stains that are very small on your sheets. This too is a sign that you may be being bit at night.

What In The World Can You Do?

Bed bugs are creatures of habit and they also need you. You are their source of food. Although they don’t have to feed nightly, they do need you at some point. What’s more is that there are probably many hundreds and thousands of them lurking in wait. Therefore, it is important for you to seek out the help of a professional cleaner to get rid of them. Unfortunately, you may need to replace your mattress as there aren’t many ways to thoroughly clean them without allowing mold to grow in them.

You should have a professional come into your home as well as clean all carpeting, drapes and even the couches and sofas in your home. Because they can travel and they can host off of your pets, they can be located in various places throughout your home. Removing them from your home should be one of the most important things to do. Once they are gone, purchase plastic style mattress covers and pillow covers that won’t allow anything to get in or get out of the mattresses and pillows including bed bugs.

There are many safety devices that you may want to purchase with a baby in the house. Some you may want to install before the baby arrives home from the hospital; others can wait until the baby begins to crawl.

One of the first things that you may want to do is to install a smoke detector on every floor of your home and near all the bedrooms. These are essential as a first warning system to alert you to a fire anywhere in your home. Once you have installed this device, make sure that you have new batteries in and test it to ensure that it is working properly. After this initial test, you should retest it once a month to check the batteries and to ensure that it is not malfunctioning.

You may also want to install a carbon monoxide detector near the sleeping areas in your home to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning. This poisoning can occur gradually so that you may not be aware that it is even happening. This detector will alert you if the carbon monoxide in your home is at dangerous levels. You should install this device if your home has gas or oil heat or an attached garage, as these factors add to the danger of carbon monoxide poisoning.

Once your child begins to crawl, you may want to install anti-scald devices in your home. These devices can be installed in your faucets and showerheads by a plumber and can regulate the water temperature to prevent accidental burning if your baby turns the hot water on. Turning your water heater down to 120 degrees Fahrenheit can also prevent burns from hot water.

Another safety device that you may want to install when your baby begins to crawl are window guards and safety netting. These devices can prevent falls from windows, decks, and balconies. The guards and netting fit securely in the window or across the entrance out onto a balcony and deck to prevent your child from crawling near these areas. The bars on the guards should have no more than 4 inches between them to prevent the child from crawling through them. When you install these guards, make sure that you leave one window in each room available to use as a route of escape in case of a fire.

Corner and edge bumpers are safety devices that can also prevent injuries to your child in case he falls. These bumpers should be placed on furniture as well as woodwork and fireplaces that have sharp edges to soften the blow if your child would fall against them. You should check to make sure that the type of bumpers that you purchase will remain securely in place for a reasonable amount of time and once they are installed, you should recheck them often.

Finally, you may want to install door stops and door holders to prevent your child from pinching or crushing his fingers and hands ion doors and door hinges. A door stop can prevent a door from closing entirely while a door holder can firmly hold the door in place to avoid it being closed at all. For door that you rarely use, the door holder may be the better option.

By purchasing and installing some of these products, you can ensure that your baby’s home is as safe as possible for both you and your little one.

When decorating or refurnishing your home, furniture is an Often

expensive purchase and one that shouldn’t be taken lightly. There are

several things to consider when buying furniture, consider the usual

colors and types of fabric that would work best in your home. First of

all we should consider the budget and do some comparison shopping before

deciding on which type of furniture you want to spend your money.

It’s always a nice idea to have a correct planning about budget in your

mind before actually going to the furniture store or browsing branded

online stores. If you follow this way you can find the required

furniture collection in your budget without spending much time on

selection of furniture designs. While shopping for furniture we cannot

stick to one or two types of furniture. Generally people will search

for all the available models at branded stores. If you are that person

who loves interior decoration then every time you will go for latest

fashions in furniture collection and frequently you will change the

furniture and interiors of your home.

Plan Before You Shop for furniture as without planning if you shop for

the furniture means its a time waste process. You should consider your

room space and your interests. Some people love to have the room either

its living room or bedroom they need spacious rooms with less

furnitures. Some people like when their rooms are filled with furnitures

and interiors collection.

When you are shopping to buy furniture for your entire home you should

consider your kids bedroom and drawing room furnitures . Enquire your

kids in what type of furnitures they are interested in. Kids will prefer

toys type furnitures.

Its always suggestible to shop on online as here you are having the

option of comparison shopping. Here you can compare the prices of one

store to another store. And another suggestion for online shopping is to

use coupon codes, by using which you can get maximum discounts on your

purchases.

It will not be tricky to find the’hottest’ home decor trends out there at the moment. Occasionally, though, you end up financially and stylistically limited. Some of those’in’ color schemes or themes may just not appeal to you. Ironically, perhaps you can’t afford the furnishings you desire in your house. Really, wood furniture doesn’t always have to be pricey ( or old ) for it to play a crucial role in the overall feel of your place. You don’t always have to go antiquing or spend enormous amounts of money just to decorate or furnish your house.

Straight off there’s always an option to BUY second user furniture for home-decor. Purchasing second user furniture may present a risk but the benefits far outweigh this. Almost all of the time, people simply give their perfectly usable solid wood furniture to charities or thrift stores. They even sell them in straightforward yard or garage sales. Always be on the look-out and you might be surprised if you find a cedar chest that looks precisely the same as the extremely pricey one you’ve been salivating over at the mag you latterly read.

With your buying comes your selling. Try and sell furniture that you infrequently use anymore or the ones which feel out of kilter in your house. This serves a double purpose — more space for new furniture that is more appropriate for your house and more money to buy them! Also, selling might help you create a network of other home dcor fans who can offer you tips in buying and selling hardwood furniture and at the same time lead you in working out the final feel and appear you would like to go for. Just post on your local classifieds or join online forums and you’ll be surprised at how much people are willing to help.

Lastlyly, perhaps you may even try and make your own furniture! Naturally, this isn’t an individual job but maybe you can ask help from your youngsters or your hubby. It can be a time-intensive project but this is customization at its finest. You get to make furniture that’s tailor-fit to your same exact needs. You can have as many drawers as you need on your bedroom dresser and even color it as obnoxiously as you need. What’s important is that you’re making the furniture that fits well with your intended home dcor theme. There are various books on handiwork and/or carpentry that may strip down things for you. Don’t be afraid to look at home decor magazines, too, for ideas on style and functionality!

As you can see, you don’t always have to conform to current home decor trends that are enormously hyped by the media. You can make your own trendy baby crib that is more tailor fit to your concept of how your house should look like. Who else is the better judge but the individual living in the home, right?

Following is part three of an interview with Phyllis Slater, owner of Slater Solutions LLC.  Ms. Slater has devoted years to providing coaching and concierge services to the working caregiver and aging parent.  Visit Phyllis Slater’s website simply by Googling the name Phyllis Slater.  

Q. Why should we plan for tomorrow now? 

A. Possible situation… I have vision difficulties but can still live without assistance.  However, a year from now I may need help with cooking, cleaning, shopping, driving and paying bills.  

Medications can be placed in a pre-programmed medication dispenser with monitoring company assistance.  If the medication is not taken in a reasonable period of time, the company will call my son.  Non-medical in-home care will be hired to attend to all these needs.

If I fall on the coffee table and spend a week in the hospital, the geriatric managers may recommend a rehabilitation center for treatment.

Whether I am able to return home or must move to a living facility, my family will hire an organizer to come in and rearrange furniture, lower items in the kitchen so they can be reached, removed unwanted items, and boxed up rarely used items. 

A real estate agent will already be chosen, but not hired, just in case I must sell the home.  Again, that is planning for the unknown.  Whatever the outcome, the stress of last minute decision-making has been reduced.

Remember that part of this relocation process is finding a reliable moving company, and now there are companies that, for a fair rate, will pick up unwanted items.  

Now, there are Adult Day Care Centers for individuals with mental challenges.  Our senior center has one that gives family caregivers some respite time –providing the social interaction they need.

If I cannot return home because of extra caregiving needs, it may be appropriate to move into an Assisted Living facility, which is private pay.  Assisted living facilities allow residents to feel more independent while having 24/7 caregiving when needed.  Having social interaction with peers can reduce depression and keep the mind more alert.  There are Continuing Care Facilities that have Independent, Assisted Living and Nursing Care all on the same property — for easing into each other while being accessible to friends created on-site.

Spending time in the elder care field, I planned ahead by contacting a Long Term Care Insurance Specialist. 

Next, my son was made legal guardian with all my finances in both of our names (Elder Care Attorney).  In addition, my Financial Planner has made wise investments for me over the years.  I made sure my son and other family members have copies of all paperwork.  Each child understands the reason for my decision-making. 

My friend did not plan ahead of time, has no money for care, and applied for Medicaid.   This is why I am so passionate about planning ahead.  This may mean that she will have to go into a nursing home rather than the assisted living facility. 

A small amount of Assist Living facilities qualify for Medicaid Waiver programs.  This means that Medicaid would pay some of the cost, which is great for those with financial difficulties.  However, the waiting list for an opening could take years.  Talk with a government agency about the options available in the meantime. 

Another option is to live at home with 24/7 care, and use the equity of the home for a Reverse Mortgage.  This option is a safety net, allowing for quality care in the comfort of your own home.  There are advantages and disadvantages with using a Reverse Mortgage, so check with the Reverse Mortgage Specialists before making a decision.  The key is to learn about it now.  If you don’t use this, pass the information to others later.

In some states there are Senior Foster Homes, which are residential homes with 24/7 on-site care.  With only four bedrooms, each resident receives personal care and can participate in responsibilities — such as setting the dinner table.  These homes can take the place of an assisted living or even nursing home.  Professional staff is hired or the owner could be a licensed nurse.  This is a great option but also requires private pay.

Hospice care is now provided in the home, the care facility, or their own hospice faculties.  The requirement is usually a paper from the doctor saying it is predicted a person’s life will end within six months.  Naturally, if this does not happen, the care should still be available.  Different states may have different requirements for keeping hospice beyond that time.  This is a service that is sadly underutilized.  To my knowledge, there is no cost to the family for this service.

When you try to sell your home, try to make it look like no one lives there. It sounds silly, but no one wants to see your fridge door with hundreds of magnets and pictures. Purchasers are not fancy about seeing your laundry on the floor or the baby’s diaper pail full to the brim. So here are some good tips to follow in order to get your house sold in Portland:

1. Paint all rooms a neutral colour if they are brightly coloured. Areas such as bedrooms, bathrooms and so on should be a taupe or beige colour which most purchasers can imagine their own furniture in. In Homes for Sale in Portland everyone can see the potential of your home in neutral shades.

2. Call a junk man or garbage removal company and start loading up the truck. Nothing is sacred, put all unused or overgrown articles in the dumpster or truck. Fill it and fill it again

3. Remove anything that smells old or musty such as old sofas or blankets from the basement. Old clothes in bags or boxes might have a damp and musty smell. Get rid of these culprits

4. Clean up the basement and wash all floors or steam clean carpeting. Repaint any cement floors and fix up the laundry center. Use organizational cupboard and storage units to store all articles.

5. Go through the bathrooms and remove any old prescriptions, old bottles of cream or shampoos, stuff that clutters up the vanity. Everyone takes out their makeup and brushes.

6. Get one bottle of hand wash and use it for hand washing and one set of hand towels that are set out for company. Put all other family towels away in individual bedrooms.

7. Bedrooms must be de-cluttered and all bedding washed and changed. Fresh bedspreads or duvets should be used and all toys and stuffed animals put into storage until after the sale.

8. Put all good items which you don’t need any more into a yard sale. Get rid of old furniture, clothing, kitchen gadgets and appliances, nick-knacks and old books. Make it a neighbourhood sale.

9. Now sterilize the kitchen from top to bottom, including the cupboards, pantry, sinks and counters, fridge, stove and dishwasher. Everything gets a super scrub using a disinfectant.

10. Clean the bathrooms similarly from top to bottom and remove all mould or mildew signs. Tiles and tub should glisten. See your realtor before you redo a bathroom in Portland.

11. The foyer should be free of shoes and backpacks, coats and bags. Pretend that it is the first thing that the purchaser sees and smells and it should pass the test for cleanliness and tidiness.

12. The living room should be free of any magazines or newspapers, ash trays, and used dishes. Polish all furniture and vacuum thoroughly. Spray with Febreeze or another air freshener.

13. If you have a dining room, set up a table of your best dishes and sterling. Put candles on the table and napkins, lower the lights and set up the room as if you were having company.

14. Turn on all lights and open a window in all rooms during the warmer weather or make sure the thermostat is set to 70 degrees for comfort.

15. If you have an air conditioner, put it on low during the cool seasons and full during the hotter days of summer. Portland homes for sale can weather any temperature.

16. Put out a vase of flowers, make a dozen cookies before the viewing or Open House. Now ask a neighbour or friend to go through the house and make comments or suggestions.

17. Do whatever it takes, inside or outside, to put your house on the market and get it sold! Good Luck! See your realtor when listing your home for sale in Portland.

Ask Tony and Libby Kelly any questions you may have when getting ready to sell your house. They have years of experience in the Portland area. You will get a better price if you follow the advice above.

How often have you bought something only to decide a month or two later that it just doesn’t fit your lifestyle, or the color isn’t right? This is especially difficult situation when the purchase is relatively large like electronics, appliances, or furniture.

One important benefit of furniture and electronic appliance renting is that you can try the product out before really committing to ownership. Want to try the latest flat screen television but are concerned about the clarity or glare in your own home? Rent the unit for a month or so and try it out! This is especially true when considering an appliance technology that is new to you. Things like a flat heating element stove, or an extra large capacity washer and dryer all are good candidates for the try before you buy idea. If you think you may like that large capacity washer and dryer but can’t swing the 1,100 to 1,500 dollars for the pair, getting them from a furniture rental company may be a good alternative.

Furniture rental company services are also a way to try out the latest in furniture designs at a fraction of the costs of a direct purchase. Try color schemes in your home without committing to the direct purchase of that new sofa or bedroom suite until you know the color scheme is right.

The first consideration when renting furniture will probably be price. The reason for this is because most of the rental cost is rental fees and not toward the purchase cost. This is ok however in that the intent, at least from this point of view is to rent the equipment or furniture to see if it fits into your lifestyle and home. If you purchase directly and the color is wrong, or that flat screen television isn’t exactly right, too bad you own it. With furniture renting or try before you buy, if it’s wrong, it’s a simple matter to get an exchange or replacement.

Short term needs are another great reason why furniture rental services should be considered. If moving into a new home soon but don’t want to move your furniture from storage into temporary housing, then into the new home, rental services may be the answer. Or if moving is part of a career move and you find yourself with two homes, a short term rental service can save a lot of expense. Instead of buying two sets of furniture, consider using furniture rentals in the new home until your previous homes furnishings are shipped.

Although furniture rental companies also do sell product, they offer the very best in consumer satisfaction by using the rental services as a try before you buy option. All in all, this can offer a consumer good service at a moderate cost while delivering the products desired almost immediately.

With such innovative minds and high work ethics, Japan and China have led the way in many fields, so it should come as no surprise that the latest area in which their traditions have become prevalent is home design.

Two very distinct decorating styles have come from Japan in recent years, with hints here and there from China and other Asian cultures also infringing on the styles popular in American society. You can trace back the fascination to the art of the dragon, the artistic language (all written in symbols rather than characters as with many languages), and other such influences. It began with the fringe of American society, with youths getting tattoos and body art in Asian styles, and now it has progressed into a way of life and overall home design.

Minimalism has long been a theme of Japanese and other Asian design. In fact, many traditional Asian homes do not have furniture as American and European homes do. Instead, mattresses lay on the floor, and seating at mealtime is pillows around a table no higher than an American coffee table. Homes are small, and one room may be used for several functions, much like an efficiency apartment in the United States. While still artistic, the beauty in the few furnishings kept is their sharp angles, basic colors, and pure functionality. American design has begun to copy this trend, reverting to minimalist furniture design, without the large cushions, ornate decoration, and imposing size. In some homes, less furniture is used altogether to mimic the Asian cultures.

One specific design theme that has become quite prevalent in American society is Feng Shui. There is more to this than just a home décor style – Feng Shui is a way of life. It is about enlightenment and the ability to find inner peace. Feng Shui is using design as a way to strengthen, enlighten and protect an environment.

Interestingly enough, the colors most often associated with Feng Shui are black and red, with some burnt orange or yellow and deep brown mixed in. These colors have long been shunned in American design because black is thought to be a depressing color. While red has been thought to incite anger, many Feng Shui consultants recommend red to produce a protective and inspiring environment. It is believed that minimalist design used in combination with appropriate colors and the addition of the correct décor can produce a sense of peace and enlightenment.

A brief study of Asian cultures can assist in building an idea of where the future of design is headed. For many years companies such as Sony and Toyota were trend setters for the Western Industrial World. Design is one more aspect in which you can expect to see the West following the lead of Eastern examples for a long time to come.
