I bought an orchid. And I staged it. Sigh.

Make some money!
Things you can do that will make you love your house.
1. Learn how to caulk so you can fix cracks. Then fix them, especially in the bathroom and around windows.
2. Constantly declutter. Get rid of at least one-third of your home's contents.
3. Clean your windows. Go through the incredible hassle of taking down the storm windows and really clean all the glass. It's amazing. And a huge pain. And while you're at it, grab a razor blade and scrape all the extra paint off the windows.
4. Paint your closets. Go with a nice neutral, or paint them a shade darker than the room color. I think it makes them look bigger.
5. Paint your ceilings. They are dingy-er than you know. It's another pain, but with a great payoff.

What a yummy paint color! Mind if I ask what flavor is it? I love your staging!
hi amber. i don't know the color. it was painted chocolate brown when we moved in and i did find the old paint can and give it a fresh coat seven years ago.
then the big crash of 2005 came (a shelf in our kitchen fell; probably because i had put ten gallons of paint on it) and the chocolate paint can exploded all over my (old) kitchen. we said goodbye to the paint can after that.
Yup, too much HGTV, and more space than me! :-) But nice all the same!
