GET RID OF CLUTTER  I know what you are thinking, “Get rid of clutter?! Duh!” but get rid of it seriously! Donate the clothes you haven’t worn in over a year, throw out the trash, odds and ends and anything that has accumulated throughout the years, and make your space feel light again! 2. ORGANIZATION IS KEY  Organizing your space is a great way to get an area ready for all of your spring and summer activities.

You’ve just done these BEAUTIFUL remodels in our home, you love them! But now it’s time to pick the right furniture to finish everything up. Finding the right furniture to finish up a space can seem daunting at first, but with our expertise, we can help you find all the right pieces for your space! Here are the top furniture trends for 2021! 1. Warm & Snug  2021 has us going toward spaces with warm vibes and cozy furniture. Expect to see some changes in furniture specifically in gathering areas and nursery type environments. Along with all the new trends coming in 2021 we can almost guarantee that you won't go wrong with some really comfortable seating, and try spicing it up with a vintage piece that’s as comfortable as it looks. Don’t forget vintage furniture helps save the planet and pays homage to past craftsmen! 2. Vintage Vibes  Retro features have never looked so good! 2021 brings in the new year taking it back to better times with features that are extra vintage and have deeper meaning than just visual. Consider pieces that tell a story about you or something you're passionate about. For example check out the accent wall behind the seating area. It looks old and rustic but blends extremely well. But if you dig deeper it's actually wood from a shipwreck, how cool is that? 3. Statement Headboards  Go big or go home when it comes to headboards! Get ready to see statement headboards in 2021, this is such a popular trend and changes the feeling of the bedroom! For bedroom redesigns, we love making headboards a statement piece that actually tells someone who is looking at it a deeper meaning of your style and who you are as a person. 4. Quality Craftsmanship  Consumers have seen the effect that Covid-19 had on small businesses in 2020. This has left them wanting and searching for high-quality pieces of work in their homes. Whether that be customer countertops, cabinets, or a locker design like the photo above, we are most excited about building more custom designs in 2021. 5. Bookshelves  Ok, so we have light wood ✓ A bookshelf ✓ AND house plants! ✓✓✓ This checks off everything we love about this trend in 2021. Bookshelves can add so much to a room and can make the space a lot more “homey”. You can add plants, books, or photos to add even more to the room. These are just some of the furniture trends for 2021. As much as we love the design and building process of remodels, seeing the finished results is definitely the best part!

We get it! Doing a major remodel to your home can be a scary venture! Often we see that our clients number one concern when it comes to remodeling is their resale value. That’s why we’re here to help! Leave it to the experts to make sure that your resale value skyrockets. Here are our top five tips on how we can help your resale value go up. 1. Start With a Fresh Coat of PaintFresh paint is cost-effective and a simple job that we love to do! Updated paint colors set the mood for the room, whether it be open and bright to relaxing and cozy. Homes that stick with more neutral and up-to-date color schemes have shown to sell for higher than their counterparts.  2. Custom Builds Are All the RageOk now, this one is a no-brainer! Who wouldn’t want custom pieces in their house!? Let’s be real there are TONS of great houses on the market right now. Ask yourself what makes yours unique? Custom builds make you stand out from the crowd and give you one step up against the competition.  3. The Kitchen is Your Money MakerI know for me and my family the kitchen is the hottest spot in the house. We gather, cook, and eat family meals together there. It’s going to be your money maker. Buyers love a good open, bright and clean kitchen, let’s make sure yours is up to par!  4. The Bathroom is the Kitchens SidekickEvery hero needs a good sidekick, right? While your kitchen is doing the hero work your bathroom needs to be its sidekick. By that I mean it needs to be the closer. Bathrooms are second to kitchen updates on return on investments so if you want to get a real bang for your buck you really can't have one without the other.  5. Curb AppealWhen buying a new house everyone loves a home that doesn’t need any remodeling to the inside. How much better would it be if it also had LOADS of curb appeal! I’m talking mowed grass, mulching, flowers, fresh paint, the whole 9 yards! (pun intended). That’s one less thing a buyer needs to worry about and will pay extra for.  We love helping clients bring their visions to life. Whether you're remodeling to fall in love with your home again or remodeling to sell (we might just make you want to stay) we can't wait to help all of your creative visions come to life!
