Getting the most out of your bonus room
My first impression? "Wow, won't it be great to finally have some extra space!" But then I begin to wonder how I can make the most of it. For one thing, I think it would be absolutely wonderful to have a separate play area for the children and get all those toys out of the living room. But do I really wnat to give up on the idea of the home office I've been wanting? And what about all those times I've thought about how nice it would be to keep my sewing and scrapbooking tucked neatly behind a closed door? Yet, I must admit my husband would just love to move his large screen TV into a room where he could watch sports programs and turn up the sound as loud as he wants. So many choices - but where do I start?

Stage to Impress
Before placing your home on the market, why not consider "Staging" it. Minimizing the faults and maximizing the attributes of your home is what Home Staging is all about. And it begins at the curb and flows through the home, reaching all the way to the back yard. After all, whenever potential buyers drive up to your property for the very first time, you want them to fall in love with it, to immediately visualize the home as their own. In other words, you want to do all you can to get the best sell.
