Spread the word

I was diagnosed with cancer when I was 25 and ever since then I have been very particular about what goes on or in my body. That being said I helped my cute friend buy a home last year and she shared her amazing product with me at that time. Ever since day 1 I was blown away!!! You can be too by checking it out for yourself.

FREE Slurpee Day!!!

Good morning!

Most importantly,

I closed on my house yesterday and we will get keys today if the certificate of occupancy is issued from the city. The appraiser also has to come back to check off the front rail for our house. We are SO excited to call Penny Ave. home~it is crazy to me that my grandpa used to own that land. The same land that Nate and I will bring our first baby home to (someday, not in 9 months:)

Yesterday, in sales meeting we talked about a great article from Time

This is super exciting and VERY true! Take a look for yourself…

Kitchen Re-dos

Due to my last post on top remodeling jobs I have decided to write on top re-dos for one’s kitchen.

1. Hardware. I recently experienced the difference hardware can make on kitchen cabinets personally with my new home my husband and I are building.
2. Faucet. There are so many options now days and this truly will change the way your kitchen operates.
3. Lighting. By adding LED lights you will truly add a dramatic effect for about $40.
4. Organization. Currently, I live in a home with a very small kitchen. Fortunately, I am educated enough to know that with a little organization one can truly utilize space more effectively. I hit up IKEA and purchased a magnetic knife rack, mobile spice rack, can holders, plastic bag compartment, etc to assure that every inch of my kitchen is being put to fabulous use.
5. Countertops. This can truly update any kitchen. One could replace their current countertops with laminate for just under $1,500 compared to a granite which would cost roughly $2,500. Some sellers feel as if buyers only want granite these days and figure replacing them is too costly; but in all actuality buyers are perfectly content with laminate as long as it is in an appealing, up-to-date pattern.

Hope this helps~
