Beautiful homes in the West End
A tease…
I’m very excited about the work my client has done to her home, but a bit nervous about the ‘Copper’.. I am being teased by receiving only bits and pieces of the installed work , but from what I see- it’s a show stopper! I was getting a bit tired of hearing buyer say “I want an updated kitchen but NO granite!” I now have a home for you 🙂
What do you think?
Copper Counter Tops?
Selling a home today is a challenge. Selling a home with custom details is EVEN MORE a challenge. Today people prefer to keep things simple and run with the crowd. HGTV say’s ” Granite” is the way to go. The crowd buys Granite and all MOST buyers look for it in a home or think how they can add it.
Picture how I felt when I received a text from a client in a fabulous home, but had a high quality laminate counter.
Client: “I’m changing my counter tops”
YES-YES-YES
Client: “I’m going with a copper. I’ve always wanted this”
NO-NO-NO
Copper Counter Tops? I must admit, I have never seen then. I have two pictures of copper in my mind. The picture of the old fashioned shiny posts and roster shaped baking pans hanging on a great grandmothers kitchen wall, and the second NOT so pleasing. The ugly pennies stuck to the bottom of the cup holder in my car. Either way- this does not feel good to me.
I did a bit of research trying to brace myself for the review of her home this week, and found THIS site to be helpful. I even like some of the finishes. But which did my client do?
Stay tuned….
Today’s cool Westview Home…
I would love to know the history of this home, the architecture/details are unlike any other. What do you think?
Coffered Ceilings Add Value to Home
My next home improvement project is to add coffered ceilings to my livingroom – wondering if I should also do them in the diningroom…?? Here is a great article from Service Magic : Coffered Ceilings
Cost vs Value
Each year Remodeling Magazine publishes a report regarding the cost of remodeling and the most likely return on the investment.
I love New York…Brooklyn, that is..
It has long been my dream to return to Brooklyn and purchase one of my beloved Brownstones…. While I have come close in finding my true love in -Historic West End, Atlanta… my 1920 Craftsman with all it’s beautiful details (original hardwoods, 4 fireplaces, pocket doors) still can not melt my heartthe way these NY Corcoran listings do….
Take a look: MACON STREET
