Bringing the Inside Out

The greatest thing about Denver for me- is the sun. I absolutely love it! Second to the sun, is the lack of humidity. Compared to the East Coast, it is hotter but can be a lot drier heat The nice weather ensures a lot of time is spent outside and I have been looking for ways to bring inside outside (without actually camping). 

My absolute favorite idea? An outside shower. 
I have had the opportunity to go to a number of resorts in the past that have outside showers, the last one was a resort in Costa Rica. The shower had a great view of water, mountains and monkeys. Although, a shower outside may not be all that suitable for homes in the city, it would be a great addition to a home in the mountains.

Townhouse in Whittier

This weekend I found myself in a beautiful industrial loft located in Whittier. It had exposed piping and brick walls, a master suite open to the downstairs, barn pocket doors and cement floors. It was a very unique home but quintessential to the changing Whittier neighborhood, where not that long ago the neighborhood featured only art and craftsmen style homes. Just as unique as the home, were the accent pieces through the home. 
Such as this beautiful lamp:
Of course, this knife holder was the best.
If you had a unique home, would you keep the furnishings just as unique?

Showing your Home to Sell

Lets switch gears slightly to actually selling your home. Whatever the reason, whether relocation, downsizing, upgrading or cashing in on your investment, as homeowners we will typically find ourselves in the position of selling a home in our lifetime. Selling your home does require a change in mindset. No longer is your home yours, it becomes a business deal.
Here in Denver, if the home is priced appropriately, homes are getting sold quickly. Making the best first impression with your home is crucial and staging can accomplish this. Here are some quick tips that you can easily do so your home shows nicely.
  • Clean. Such an easy way to show your place nicely.
  • De clutter. Remove unnecessary items in all your rooms. Don’t forget the kitchen/bathroom counters.
  • Shampoo carpets
  • Paint (if needed)
  • Remove personal items. When perspective buyers come to your home, you want them to envision themselves in the home. 
  • Rearrange furniture. The layout that works for you and your family may not work for all. 
  • Don’t forget the outside! Curb appeal is a must when trying to sell your home.
Keep in mind, showing your home is like a job interview. If you were going on a job interview you would look your best, right? Showings and open houses allow you the chance to ‘sell’ your home to perspective buyers that pass through and you want to make the best first impression.
