Sometimes just changing out the flooring can have a huge impact on the "vibes" of the room.
Take this kitchen, the old fake parquet floor is not inspiring.
Change the flooring and suddenly the new kitchen inspired gourmet cooking.
Do you need some inspiration? Call Julie at (716) 912-1581
PS. This recent client was so happy to see their new kitchen floor.

As you know, bathrooms and kitchens are some of the most well used rooms in the house. When these rooms are dated, it makes you whole house feel dated. Updating a bathroom doesn’t have to break the bank. Simple switches and a gallon of paint can shave off the decades.
In this photo the toilet and the sink was harvest gold from the early 1970’s.
- New classic white toilet around $200
- A new sink dropped into place of the old: $200.
- Paint for for the vanity cabinet $20
Total change less than $500.
Now it is ready to style and make it fun!
If you need help shaving off decades, I will be glad to guide you. I also have resource of great painters, contractors and other tradespeople to help you if you are not a DIY guy/gal.

In the bedroom, the bed is always the focal point. Many of the houses I have been in recently have not been dressing up the bed like the focal point it should be. Sometimes it just needs to have the bedding flipped over to the other side and decorative pillows added for punch. Here is an example:
Before:

After:
So much better! I would love to help your home look better at a very reasonable cost.

I was recently working on a home that has been on the market for awhile. Staging brought this dated room up to date. By downplaying the vintage antiques and accessorizing with a fresh rug and simple accessories, the room has broader appeal. See for yourself:
Before

After:

This room change was about $100 and took about 10 minutes. Simple but effective!
