While I understand the convenience of the disposable soap dispensers, I miss the classic look of a decorative dispenser. I always advise clients to replace their soap dispensers with decorative ones - the branded ones tend to look cheap in a beautifully decorated bathroom. I do however understand that some of these soaps are premium quality and love that Bath and Body works has introduced an attractive solution - check out these hot soap pump sleeves:

Myth: Home Staging Is Expensive
7 pillows
2 pieces of artwork
$52.50 This is my favourite myth to dispel - home staging CAN work with any budget! This before and after photo gives a great example of staging on a budget. As a professional home stager, my aim is always to work with what the homeowner has available to showcase the space to it's fullest potential. Sometimes less is more.

Considering a Home Reno? Be sure to read this first!
If you're planning a spring/summer renovation project, regardless of the reno, there is one thing that every homeowner should be sure to consider before construction begins - resale. You might be thinking why is this important if you're not planning to sell your home? You may not be planning to list your home in the near future, but before making any permanent changes to your home, you need to think about what a potential buyer will think. I encourage you to make the home yours, be creative with the design, and allow it to reflect your style, but keep in mind that at some point you are likely to choose to sell the home, and you want to be sure that your renovations will pay off by increasing the value of the home - how easy will it be to neutralize the home if you do choose to sell? Is it as simple as a coat of paint, or will it require tearing down walls? I recently worked with a home staging client that had installed a jacuzzi tub right in their master bedroom, and despite my best efforts, all the staging in the world couldn't hide the fact that there was a tub in their bedroom. They eventually ripped the tub out and replaced the carpet after several potential buyers were turned off by this. No matter what your plans for the immediate future are, be sure to consider the long term effects as well.
