When that didn’t work, the second agent staged with the homeowner’s existing furnishings and...

Written by jbobbett2 on .

With only a 12-day window in which to complete our latest project, we had our work cut out for us. We had a pretty significant list of items that needed a little TLC.

A fresh coat of paint is one of the best things you can do to immediately give new life to a room. We repainted the interior including the kitchen cabinets. We also made...
