To succeed as a real estate investor, it helps to have vision — to be able to see and unearth the hidden potential and value in a home. I love helping my clients discover this vision. This is part of the journey of buying and selling a home.
In the last 20 years, I have helped design, build and decorate 17 luxury homes for personal investment. This creative process is part of what keeps my work exciting, and I am passionate about sharing this experience with my clients.
Most recently, I worked with a listing client who owns a condo in Pirate’s Cove. While the condo had great bones, we decided that a few minor updates would really attract the showings and quick sale we were after. So we got to work.
It was a collaborative effort. We chose new interior paint colors, replaced some furnishings, upgraded to flat screen TVs, and replaced decor like wall hangings, shower curtains and bedspreads. The results? We saw a pick-up in viewing appointments within 48 hours of posting the new photos.
Read on for before and after shots of the condo plus my tips for local shops and great deals on home decor!
We chose Peanut Shell by Royal Paint for the main color throughout the house. This great neutral color also gives off subtle beach vibes perfect for a vacation home. De-cluttering tables and streamlining the wall hangings created an overall more cohesive look to the open living space.
In the kitchen, we removed a dated wallpaper border and added an accent wall in Hawaiian Sunrise by Royal Paint. Beach-minimalist accessories from the Cottage Shop finish off the look.
Updated wall hangings and a beach-themed bedspread add casual charm to this master bedroom. For local shops, you can't beat Ambrose Furniture for price and selection on spreads.
A quick coat of paint and shower curtain swap make this bathroom feel more modern.
