Tips to sell your hoouse fast

If you are planning to put your house up for sale, it goes without saying that you are hoping to sell your home as quickly as possible and get your asking price. Set the stage for success with these tips.

Get your house sparkling clean. From gleaming floors and sparkling windows to shiny counters and scrubbed grout, every surface should sparkle. This is the easiest way to help your home look its best. You may want to hire professional to do some of the really tough stuff, especially if you have a large house.


Choose sophisticated neutral colors.  Rich midtone neutrals to create a sophisticated backdrop that makes everything look more pulled together.

Clear away all clutter. If you are serious about staging your home, all clutter must go. It's not easy, and it may even require renting a storage unit temporarily, but it is well worth the trouble. Clean and clear surfaces, floors, cupboards and closets equal more space in the eyes of potential buyers, so purge anything unnecessary or unsightly.

Open those closets! Open-house visitors will peek inside your closets. Closet space can be a make-it-or-break-it selling point for buyers, so show yours off to their full advantage. Again, this is really important, so even if you need to store a few boxes elsewhere, it's worth it.  have 20 to 30 percent open space in each closet to give the impression of spaciousness.


 Take a good look at your floors. At the bare minimum, give all floors a thorough cleaning,but consider having wood floors refinished if they are in poor shape. If you don't want to invest in refinishing floors, the strategic placement of area rugs can go a long way.

Create a gender-neutral master bedroom. Appeal to everyone with a clean, tailored master bedroom, free of personal items and clutter. You can't go wrong with clean, crisp linens, tasteful artwork and a blanket folded at the foot of the bed.


These tip will help you sell your house in this tough economy, everyone will be wanting to buy your house.

dentist office

This waiting room was designed for a dentist's office. It uses grey, pink, and white furniture while having a comfortable feel, but yet still is professional. The entrance and receptionists desk are located towards the left side of the room. The right corner contains toys and games that can be used as a spot to keep children entertained. The room also contains a relaxing sofa and chair for people to wait, the flowers create a fresh feel. The space has a calm feel due to furnisher being closer together, without being too close. This room contains mostly solid patterns and stays close to the color scheme. The wood flooring gives the room horizontal lines, which is said to have a more relaxing feel. Most of the textures used in this room are very soft looking, while the reception desk has a more rough texture. The coffee table has a smooth tactile texture, while the reception desk  and  flowers have an audible texture. Overall, this waiting room is perfect for making patients feel comfortable and welcome.

Texture

 

This  informal living room has a variety of textures spread throughout this space. The coffee table, silver side table, windows and yellow chair are all smooth and shiny this are examples of Tactile Textures. The most audible textured pieces in this space would be the wicker baskets, coral lamp, gold side table, and blue chair. The purple pillow, coral lamp, gold side table and the wicker basket show visual texture. Using more texture in this space gives it a more informal feel. The mood of the room is fun and bright with all the different types of textures and colors.
 

lines

Vertical Lines This room show examples of vertical lines by the book shelf columns, the drapes, the direction the books are lined up on the shelves, and the legs of the desk. Vertical lines give off the feeling of action, but the effect you get is imposing, formality, and height. The placement of a vertical line is where your eye is "drawn" into the height, very tall.

Horizontal Lines

 

This room shows examples of horizontal line the picture s being hung horizontally in a line on the walls, the desk being placed horizontally, the shelves, and the window in the back has horizontal line in it. This line has a rest or repose feeling, and it's placed for a good room (living room) where it should be relaxing. The effect you get from these lines is calm, relaxing.

Curved Lines

This room shows examples of curved lines in the spiral stairs, the lights hanging from the sealing, the chairs, and the floor lamps. Curved lines give off the feeling of fiminine, and graceful. The effect you get from these lines is peaceful. This room I found shows great feminine style, and also has a combination of lines.

Diagonal Lines

This room shows examples of diagonal lines in the roof, the placement of the table, and the placement of the sofa, The effect with diagonal lines would not be practical nor would it be pleasing to the eye,  but it also  makes the brain think. The feeling that you get with diagonal lines could bring excitement to the room.

color forcast

Color Forcast 2013

The article I read on HGTV.com said that neutrals tones of brown were on trend this year. It also said that acid green and blue were also colors to look out for this year. The article also stated that gold is on trend. This living room I try to incorporate neutral colors with blue, green and gold accents. The color scheme I use was an analogous color scheme. I think that this room won't only be on trend this year, but year to come!!!

color wheel rooms

MONOCROMATIC

This red monochromatic room is the parents master bedroom. They wanted a modern looking red bedroom. So to do that I use neutral furniture with red accent pieces. This room has a little bit of a fun flirty feel to it.


ANALOGOUS

This is the family sitting room, which I used analogous color schem made up of blue and green. One of the families wants was a fire place. In this room I didn't want to make too tradtional but I wanted to incorperate a little bit of more tradtional items with a modern twist. So I have some traditional chairs but with fun pops of colors.


TRIADIC

This modern sleek kitchen is made up of a triadic color scheme of red, yellow and blue. I think that this kitchen is perfect for a family because it has kid friendly colors and is very open. The mom wanted an open kitchen with new appliances.




COMPLEMENTRY

This fun and bold dining room is made up of a complementary color scheme. I thought that the family would like a another place to eat if company came over, so to make it kid friendly I went with plastic chairs that are really easy to clean and bold fun colors.

architect

The Job
Architects design many kinds of structures. Projects may include houses, schools, hospitals, or bridges. Architects also design airports and college campuses that contain many different buildings. Architects may specialize in one type of building or in one phase of work. For example, some may design only houses while others work on large projects such as skyscrapers or hospitals. Some architects update older buildings with rainwater catch systems, green roofs, or natural lighting.

Work Evironment
Their work environment would be at and office or shop, were they would design blue prints and models. They also would go to the site that they are working on to make sure everything is going how it is supposed to go.

The Education And Steps To Become An Architect
  Step 1: Complete a Bachelor's Degree Program Step 2: Attend an Internship Program Step 3: Obtain State Licensure Step 4: Earn Professional Certification Step 5: Maintain Certification Step 6: Consider a Graduate Degree

Salary
The BLS reports the median annual wage for architects increased slightly in 2011 to $73,340. The best-paid 10 percent in the profession made approximately $119,410, while the bottom 10 percent made approximately $44,030. To earn a salary on the higher end of this spectrum, you should consider Bridgeport, Conn., Santa Cruz, Calif., and Gary, Ind., which are the three metropolitan areas where the highest-paid in the profession work.

Job Out Look
Employment of architects is expected to grow by 18 percent between 2006 and 2016, which is faster than the average for all occupations. Employment of architects is strongly tied to the activity of the construction industry. Strong growth is expected to come from nonresidential construction as demand for commercial space increases. Residential construction, buoyed by low interest rates, is also expected to grow as more people become homeowners. If interest rates rise significantly, home building may fall off, but residential construction makes up only a small part of architects’ work.

Intrested
No I am not interested in becoming an architect because you would have to do a lot of computer work and learn how to use CAD, but this job would become in handy if you where to build your house.
