Happy Thursday! I hope you all had a lovely week thus far. While reflecting back on my week I got to thinking about mirrors. How great they can look in a space, the light they can add to a room, and that special finishing touch a mirror can add! So let’s take a look at a few!

Bathroom Details : Train Racks
Sharing a bathroom? Space can be tight. There are plenty of storage solutions available, but I have one favorite solution for towels: train racks! Train racks are a clever and attractive way to keep the towels from appearing disheveled and consuming precious storage space. They remind me of luxurious hotel bathrooms and spas. Who wouldn’t want their bathroom to look like that?!

Trend : Pouf
I almost feel silly talking about poufs, simply because it sounds ridiculous. Poufs. But anyway, these round bundles of joy are a useful, affordable trend. You really can’t place it in the wrong spot; it can go in nearly any room. So hop on board this easy trend!

Most retailers have poufs available in a variety of colors – here’s a few places where you can find them:
Pull Up a Pouf, Gray Variegated – Land of Nod
Morrocan Pouf, mustard – Jonathan Adler
Knitted Pouf, granite – CB2
I hope you enjoyed poufs and maybe smiled while saying “poufs” in your head!

Wallpaper : Bathrooms
We aren’t tired of wallpaper yet. According to some reader feedback, you aren’t either. I found more brilliant uses of wallpaper. This time, in bathrooms. These rooms may not always be the most glamorous but you might as well make them attractive since you will use the space daily. BE BOLD and have fun with wallpaper! It’s just wallpaper. What is there to be afraid of?

Favorites : Womb Chair
Sit down and take a seat. Once you’re in the womb chair, you could easily stay for a while. Eero Saarinen debuted this gem in 1946 and thankfully it isn’t going away anytime soon. In fact, I think it’ll go in my house next. Take a look at how this inviting chair can work in different types of rooms with varied styles.

Home Staging : For Potential Buyers or Yourself!
In the past 7 days, my husband & I closed on the sale of our house and we moved to a temporary home as we wait for our new house to be constructed. Our realtors, Robert and Karen Rumba of Greenwood, are optimistic about the housing market in Indiana. To prove it, our home was on the market for only 20 days! Home staging is critical to ensure successful showings, leading to a prompt, completed sale. Even if you are not planning to sell a home, it is nice to spruce up your existing living space and show it off a bit!

A well made bed can clean up any room any day. Pamper yourself with some crisp new bed linens, or at least make your bed everyday. Simplicity and neutral colors are pleasing to perspective home buyers. Cleanliness and tidiness is pleasing to everyone!
Speaking of fluffy, the bathroom should have cozy, thick towels nicely folded, like these wood grain towels from West Elm. A bathroom with lush linens feels very relaxing and spa-like. Staging a tranquil bathroom atmosphere is sure to grab attention. Avoid cluttering the counter tops with toiletries.
In a home with ample windows, it is important to pull back the curtains or uncover them. Allow natural light to fill the home. This makes the home appear larger, brighter and shows off any unique or decorative windows.
A simple centerpiece can add class to your dining space. These topiaries from Pottery Barn are simple and add a natural touch. If you have a garden, clip some blooms. Decorate sparingly and appropriately. To reiterate, avoid clutter!
These are just a few simple tips to make your home more attractive to potential buyers or just for yourself! We would be excited to help you sell your home fast with appropriate staging. If you need your existing space to be rearranged with a designer’s eye, contact us!
