Artsplosure: Great Family Fun

It is my favorite weekend of the year in Raleigh.  The weather is just perfect and it's time for Artsplosure!  The streets are closed down for blocks around Moore Square and set up with activities, entertainment, art booths and food trucks.  My favorite each year is the sand sculpture - can't wait to see what they are creating this year.  I always come away with a few art pieces for the home & garden and I come away feeling grateful that I live in Raleigh.  Come out & enjoy the city with the whole family!

Staging makes all the difference!

Staging Makes all the Difference

This was a beautiful home with a great open floor plan, but the living room needed just a few fixes to make it inviting to buyers.  The color was taste-specific and the furniture layout made the space seem small with two large sofas taking up most of the floor space.

All we did is repaint the walls a warm taupe color, craigslist the big blue sofa, place a large painting above the mantel, and add a few warm touches with plants & decorative items.  What a difference! The house had two great offers by the end of the open house on day one!
