Nanuet, NY

I just finished this bathroom redesign and I'm really happy with the results! This is a new townhouse so the walls were white and I painted them a light creamy gold. There's no natural light here so the wall color was really important. I purchased coordinating accessories and bathroom furniture that was originally white! The client wanted the furniture, so I painted it a rich deep purple which was the color of the piping in the bath towels. I picked up a more regal mirror and finished it off with a picture I found and here are the before and after photos. I'd love to hear your comments! Need me to redesign anything for you???

After 23 years in the banking business, and a salary that my husband says was too good to walk away from, I decided to start my staging & redesign business. I know, I know, you're sitting there thinking what does banking and design have to do with each other? Well I am one of those people that says, "Give me food and drink, and I'll be there!" I've been helping family and friends for over 20 years with home improvement projects. I found as my days in banking got increasingly stressful, (I did work for Citibank!), having a home improvement project to do, gave me an outlet for my stress! So here I am and the passion for work that was missing from my life has returned! Thanks to the support of my wonderful husband Tony, I have been able to take on this new venture and I have never been happier! It's been a lot of work getting the business up and running and taking care of every detail on my own, but I've learned a lot. If anyone needs help in this area, give me a call. I hope you'll allow me the opportunity to help you with your home staging and redesign needs. If you check out my profile, I've included some detailed information on the services I provide. My website is being revamped so the one that's up right now, I did. (Please be kind!) So how was that for my first blog??

I don't like making predictions about the market but I will comment on what I have noticed these last few weeks. All of a sudden most of the properties I have recently shown have multiple offers pending. It may be because its summer, it may be due to the 8000 tax credit or dare I say may be the market is turning...
