Looking to stage a bathroom? There's a reason why there are "kitchen and bath" stores, and even design magazines devoted to these rooms. A well-staged kitchen and bathroom can make the entire home look better. 1. Professional stagers advise that you start by taking a picture of the room. Looking at that picture will give you a better sense of how others see your bathroom and reveal what needs to be changed. 2. Then, de-personalize it. When you're showing your home to buyers,... you want the bathroom to resemble a guest bathroom. So, no shaving kits, toothbrushes, sticky notes to self on the mirror, etc. 3. Stagers also recommend that anything worn be replaced. This will likely include the shower curtain and mats, which tend to wear and stain quickly. Hang fresh new towels on the rack. (If you're buying new towels for this purpose, choose white.) 4. Put an unused bar of soap or hand cleaner next to the sink. Make it look like a freshly stocked hotel bathroom. 5. If required, paint the walls. Off-white colours, including beiges and light greys, work well. Looking for more staging tips? Call today.

If you’re like many people, you’ve spent more time in your home this year than, perhaps, you ever thought you would! In fact, you might have even gained a greater appreciation for how important it is to have the features, style and atmosphere you want in a condo. That’s why, as you set your personal and career goals for 2021, you might also want to consider setting a few home goals. Ask yourself: What do I want in a home? What features are important to me? How do I want my ...home to look and feel? Then, set some goals around making that happen.For example, if you worked from home this year, one goal might be to set up a more comfortable and productive workspace. Perhaps you’ll want to create a fully-equipped home office. Another goal might be to finally get that home improvement project that you’ve been putting off done. Of course, you might find that your current unit can’t be improved to fit the vision of your dream home. In that case, a good home goal might be to pay attention to the market and see what’s available. The point is to make note of your home goals so you can achieve them. As goal setting experts often say, when you write down an objective, you double your chances of reaching it.
