Long Beach Real Estate-Long Beach Condos

Inexpensive Bathroom Makeover - Home Staging on a Budget

Are you are thinking about selling?  Need a little inexpensive staging?  Maybe you just want to spruce up your Long Beach home or condo?  There is nothing better than making a major change in appearance for just a few dollars. Lets face it remodeling is expensive and many sellers in Long Beach just cant afford it, many can't afford the cost of staging.  If you can spend a few dollars and make a major difference in appearance it could be the difference in whether you sell or not and in the price you net when you do sell. 

We show a lot of homes and condos to buyers in Long Beach and receive feedback from them.  So many comment on how the condos feel like they are 'just apartments' or the homes will require too much after purchase money to make livable.  Often the source of that concern is the kitchen and bath.  Today we are going to show you how to fix part of the problem very inexpensively by showing you how to transform your bath from an ordinary, hum drum, boring, apartment style bath to an extraordinary room, with appeal, that you will want to spend some time relaxing in, and so will your buyer. 

Are you familiar with the 'apartment style' bathroom mirror?  You know the one, it's the size of the vanity with polished edges and clips holding it onto the wall.  It screams apartment.  By adding a nice rich looking, but inexpensive, frame to that mirror, and a few inexpensive accessories, you can change the whole appeal of the room.  Remember you only have one chance to make a first impression.

Mirror Mate will custom make frames for your boring old bathroom mirror that will transform your bathroom for very reasonable prices. Take a trip to Pier 1 or Bed Bath and Beyond and add a few coordinated accessories, a fabulous shower curtain and throw rug, a few green plants and you have transformed your ordinary, boring bathroom into an inviting space that you or your buyer will want to spend time in relaxing.  Check out their website, look at some of the before and after photos, see the difference a makeover makes and imagine how your buyer will see your bathroom after a few inexpensive changes.  All Mirror Mate product are 100% Made in the USA!  (This is NOT a paid advertisement)
