styling to sell

the bathroom

preparations to sell the house... i am quite sad about it. it feels somehow very wrong.

yet i have no choice but to accept it and focus on my future, my kids and my new life to come.

while at work on satureday, the man and i used all of sunday to fix some final things, paint a little here and there, get the yard under control ;-) clean and organize.

norwegian national holiday today...we walked in the parade with our son and his kindergarden, ate icecream and sausage. now he is napping and afterwards its off to coffee and cake at my (ex-) family in-law.

showing you my plans for styling the house to sell.

on thursday the photographer is coming here, yesterday its worth was estimated.

almost all things in the picture are bought at Ikea, soap from lucky duck.

i didn`t want to spend a lot of money on the styling...

the livingroom

the hallway

the bedroom

the girl`s room

the kitchen

was at Ikea last night and bought almost everything. i didn`t buy everything exactly as in the pictures, some things we had from before, some were replaced by something better ;-)

making the collages i tried to have in mind what each and every room lacked, what i was missing there.

even the laundry room, that didn`t get its own collage. it will have a pile of green towels and a plant:-)

of course i will show you the professional pictures (and compare them to my own;-))...later...

what do you think?

10 easy steps to change your entire home

ten steps in making your home the place you want it to be:

1. walk around your home and take pictures, you`ll get the before-and-after-picture-experience

2. take a weekend to declutter, don`t forget the closets

3. organize your storage: buy transparent plastic boxes and label them, stock them in shelves

4. make a plan on what you want to change in each room. find out what you want and need from each room. what function it has.
for example the hallway: if it`s unorganized, floating with clutter: buy a shoe shelf and a shoe closet, if it`s dark and cold: paint it in a light and slightly warm tone, install more lighting, get plants

                            before                                                                         after

5. get started one room at a time: start with the room that needs the least work

6. buy everything you need during the week, renovate on the weekend

7. warn your family;)

8. do the changes to the rooms, one at a time. do it in your own pace. it might take you a year or it might take you a month
9. make the final touches. take your after-pictures

10. have a party and show off your new home. show then the before pictures and enjoy!
