Makeover Stylists
Dressing a House for Success
Home styling is about illusions. It's how magicians would sell a
house. It's beyond decorating and cleaning. It's about perfecting
the art of creating moods. Stylists makes your house look bigger,
brighter, cleaner, warmer, more loving and, best of all, it makes
the potential home buyers want to seriously consider buying it.
Contrary to what you might think, it's about more than preparing
the house for sale House dressing is what you do after you've cleaned,
decluttered, painted, made minor repairs; it's all about dressing
the house for sale or if you just want to make an impression.

Apply furniture oil to cabinets that appear
dry, which will renew their original luster

bread in the microwave for 30-40 seconds, the smell adds that
invitation.
