Kitchen cabinet idea- High Contrast

Paint half the cabinets for a high-contrast look. A palette of black and white with wood and metal accents looks sleek and modern in the kitchen. Get the look by painting only the bottom cabinets and the base of your kitchen island black, leaving the upper cabinets white.

Love this color scheme

Floor to Ceiling Window Blinds...?

Came across this image & it looks like you could create this look by simply using some wood / faux wood blinds from floor to ceiling. Definitely going to try this on a project.

Kitchen: Finishing Touches

Its nice to be back in San Diego (even though May gray prevails on the coast). A weekend visit to Joshua Tree   was filled with fun hanging with my little one year old niece, birthday celebrating with my sister, and weather temperatures in the high 90's! But most important for purposes related to this blog is all the finishing touches are complete on the Hillview house.

The kitchen looks lovely and is ready for the first meal to be prepped & enjoyed!

TOP 5 TIPS for an Effective Property Listing

Top 5 Tips for an Effective Property Listing

1. X Factor  Compare your listing to competing properties and determine a way to stand out. Focus on what makes your property unique and different from your competitors and demonstrate that through the photos and copy you choose. 2. Interior Photos Make sure your listing includes comprehensive photos with at least 5 of the unit's interior. Our analysis shows that property listings with 5 or more interior photos receive 28% more leases than comparable properties with less than 5 interior photos. 3. Floor Plan Diagrams Add floor plan diagrams with room dimensions to all of your listings. Our analysis shows that property listings with at least one floor-plan diagram receive 38% more leases than comparable properties with no floor plans. 4. Attention-Grabbing Headlines Write a compelling headline by avoiding vague and generic wording. Use specifics to highlight your location, an amenity and an interior feature. Example Headline: Within 3 miles of Upscale Shopping, Courtyards filled with Flowering Trees, Brand New Kitchen Appliances 5. Details Renters need details up front to make the call. At a minimum, your listing should include your lease terms, security deposit and application fees, current monthly pricing and whether utilities are included and your pet policy and fees.
