Getting ready to sell? Move your property fast – andfor the highest selling price possible – with theseeasy, affordable staging tricks. These deal-sealingchanges will make your home attractive to the largestpool of potential buyers, and the best part is, you canstart at any stage in the game.1 Paint!Dollar for dollar, a fresh coat of paint gives you more bangfor your decorating buck than anything else. Even if yourcurrent palette is relatively new, any scuffs or wear markswill channel an unkempt vibe. And an unusual colourchoice – even if the height of fashion – may limit yourhome’s appeal. So break out that roller and slap on acouple coats of crowd-pleasing warm white or sand paint.
2 Improve the lightingReplace any dated light fixtures ASAP. How can you tell ifit has to go? If it’s over 15 years old and looks it – yet isn’ta vintage (50-75 years old) or antique piece (older) – itshould probably go. “Retro” is not something most homebuyers are looking for.
3 De-clutterTake the collectibles off the mantel, put the mismatchedarmchair into storage (or better yet, donate it) and pare
your closets down to what you’re actually wearing thisseason, packing away the rest. Ideally, all this extra stuffwould head to charity (if in good, saleable condition), thegarbage dump, or into storage. The more you storeonsite, the more cluttered and small your home appears.
4 Give dated bathrooms a faceliftA nice bath helps sell a house but, don’t invest in a totalrenovation. Renos are costly, and you won’t recoup yourcosts unless you find your exact décor doppelganger.Bring an out-of-date bath up to speed with gleamingwhitewalls whether via a fresh coat of white bath and kitchenpaint or ceramic tile and new lighting. Buy neutral newshower curtains, a simple new bath mat and vanity set,and have fresh flowers in the room during open houses.
5 Take down curtainsDated window treatments need to come down, pronto(if it’s over 10 years old, get rid of it). If privacy isn’t anissue, just leave the windows bare to maximize naturallight and make the room’s dimensions seem more gener-ous. Otherwise, buy basic-issue cotton or linen drapesfrom Linens ‘N Things or another wellpriced retailer.Always tie drapes back during viewings and open houses.
6 Put up mirrorsMake small rooms appear bigger and dark rooms seembrighter by adding an attractive wall mirror. A boxlikedining room will benefit from a leaning floor mirror and anentranceway more welcoming with a console mirror.
7 Update porch hardwareIncrease your home’s curb appeal by updating the hard-ware on your front porch. Buy a doorknocker or bell,mailbox, kick plate, doorknob and lockset in a set or incomplementary styles. Brushed nickel is a neutral finish
that will never date, while oil-rubbed bronze is anotherfavourite.
8 And the porch lightUpdate your porch light to coordinate with the newhardware, if needed. They don’t have to be an exact matchor even come from the same period, but the finishesand styles should look pleasing together.
9 Spiff up the front yardRefresh your front yard according to the season. In spring,summer and fall, trim back dead plants and foliage andplant attractive annuals or perennials in flowerbeds. Inwinter, keep the walkway shoveled and cut back any treeor shrub branches damaged by heavy snowfall. A pair ofplanters flanking the front door and filled with seasonalarrangements instantly conveys pride of ownership.
10 Tend the backyardSimple fix-its willmake the most of your existing yardlayout. Replace any damaged boards on your deck orfence, and apply a fresh coat of paint, or stain and sealantif the finish needs it. Weed and groom your garden andadd some perennials for colour when in-season. If kids’toys are taking over the space, put some in storage.

2012 Summer Colour tipsHave a look at any spring and summer 2012 collection and you will see the following coloursincorporated into this wonderfully popular, signature range. Pinks, blues, greens, yellows,purples and whites; each colour, carefully considered to match most home colour schemes oneway or another.
Liz’ Tips
Liz’ TipsBy: Liz Quinn of Design’in-MindMaximum Impact with Minimal InvestmentBrockville, Ontario
Just take a look at fashions: pastel colors are going to be big thisspring and summer, but Delicious Mint is the trendiest of the bunch..This frosty tint is a yummy mix between blue and green and haslight and soft flavor. We love mint paired with metal tones of gold,silver and bronze as well as with other pastels. And don't forget themost famous duo of Mint and Chocolate Chip.Delicious Mint is a perfect sundae of casual modern & subduedelegance, so much fun that you can skip the cherry on top.Green: Big PictureCelery green is a natural for all-over color. But pick one with someyellow in it so it doesn't come off as juvenile mint green. And don'tignore the ceiling -- cover it in either white or a 50/50 mix of whitewith the wall color.Don't settle for someone else's idea of what colors you should havein your home. Starting with a single color, you can create animpressive combination. Take advantage of the color wheel tochoose hues that personalize your decor and decorate your space theway you like.Decorating with Warm and Cool Colors
One side of the color wheelshows cool colors, and theother side warm. You needonly to look at the sky, theocean or distant mountainsto understand the nature ofcool colors. Violet, blue andgreen can create the illusionof distance in your home,too. These colors are greatfor making small areas seemmore spacious.We associate red, orange
and yellow with heat - think of bright sunlight or a cracklingcampfire. Use warm colors to add comfort and energy to your livingspace. Warm hues can create more intimate areas in large rooms. Ifyour windows face north, you can counteract the coolness by addingwarm colors.Monochromatic ColorsYou can always play it safe by selecting tints and shades of the samecolor. The effect of this monochromatic color scheme can bestunning. Keep in mind that later on it may be difficult to findfurnishings to coordinate with your room.As we're freshening up our wardrobes for summer, incorporatingbright hues, fun prints, and breezy textures, we're noticing that ourdigs could use a little facelift, too.And since nothing sounds as goodas a beach getaway right about now, we've made that our point ofinspiration — essentially, we want coming home to feel like goingon vacation.Bright pastels can be seen everywhere right now – in shoes, jeans,belts, scarves and clothing. And with most fashion trends they spillover into our homes. We like to follow our fashion trends throughour soft furnishings like cushions and throws, bedding and pictures,and the easiest of all colour accessories - candles!Where to Begin Creating Your Personal Color PaletteIf you have artwork or another furnishing that you wish to show-case, you've already begun your selection. Otherwise, you may wantto begin with your favorite color. Experiment with creating differentpalettes using the color wheel, available at most paint stores.Nature provides an infinite source of inspiration. Take a look atplants in your yard or neighborhood. Maybe you want to use thecolors of a peacock or tropical fish or of a favourite flower as yourdecorating theme...
Select what pleases you and your family the most. Enjoy expressingyourself with color throughout your home.Be cheeky with colour!Work vibrant pops of colour into a room –tangerine, citrine, indigo, plum – via accents, drapery and rugs.Ground it with a neutral backdrop.Celery green is a natural for all-over color. But pick one with someyellow in it so it doesn't come off as juvenile mint green. And don'tignore the ceiling -- cover it in either white or a 50/50 mix of whitewith the wall color.One rule of thumb: always test paint samples. It's especially a goodidea when you want a muted green - what seems like khaki on thechip could be vibrant olive on the wall. But to prevent earthy greensfrom looking drab, keep potential accent colors in mind. Try pairinglighter shades of green with creams or butter yellows to wake themup a bit.When using a bright citron: blue-green, coral, and raspberry colorsas accents, makes the yellow-green hue all the more striking. Paircitron with latte-like browns on the walls and introduce a mutedcitron via furniture fabric and accentsSearching for a new base color? Try turning to blue and use it thesame way some people might use brown or black. For example,paint a room blue, then mix blue upholstered pieces with white orgray pieces and add touches of yellow, green and orange.When choosing a blue, consider how often you're in the room. Forexample, don't choose a very bold blue for a living room -- youmight tire of the color. Save it for a den or a playroom and pick amore serene tone for central living spacesThankfully, the color blue goes with almost any wood trim. Thepaler the blue, the more versatile, but for a foolproof option, anyblue with walnut wood is gorgeous.Frosty blues are elegant with soft creams and shiny accents such asglass. Take the chill off icy colors by teaming them with warmbrowns, reds, or oranges.Natural wood tones, sandy beiges, and lime-wash finishesbalance barely-there blue rooms. And don't forget about paintfinishes. Chalky flat finishes are warm, while shiny blues willgive a bit of a chill.Reds & Oranges: Dramatically DarkUse a deep color such as chestnut or rusty red for dramatic effect ina powder room or small den. When you have a really small roomwhere there's no way you're going to make it look big, make it moreof what it is -- small and dark -- but make it dramatic.Neutrals: From Blah to BeautifulRethink beige. It runs the gamut from grayish mushroom togreenish khaki to rich cafe au lait. If you're most comfortable in thebeige area, use variations like those to change things up.Purple: Sweet LavenderOnce on the walls, paint colors intensify, and lavender is a strongpaint color. A rule of thumb: Choose the top (and the lightest) coloron the paint card when selecting lavender for the walls.Blue: Wood Tones PartnerSearching for a new base color? Try turning to blue and use itthe same way some people might use brown or black. For example,paint a room blue, then mix blue upholstered pieces with whiteor gray pieces and add touches of yellow, green and orange.Thankfully, the color blue goes with almost any wood trim. Thepaler the blue, the more versatile, but for a foolproof option, anyblue with walnut wood is gorgeous.
