Another BBC Radio Derby interview - Is your loft strong enough?

I was interviewed for the second time by Aleena Naylor - this time we discussed a recent news item about a loft collapsing on a man in Essex whilst he was sleeping! See a summary of the interview, with advice on how to use your loft:

BBC Radio Derby interview - Clutter Makes You Fat!

I was recently interviewed by Aleena Naylor on a fascinating subject - Clutter, and how it makes you fat!  See a summary of the interview at http://www.homemakeoverservice.co.uk/cluttermakesyoufat.html

Declutter your dreams

Whether you're trying to sell your home, or just want to enjoy it more - calm your bedroom down. Remove cluttered patterns, use soft co-ordinating colours...and breathe!

Buy a new sofa

My client planned to buy a new sofa and chairs once she had moved house, but I convinced her that doing so now would increase the saleability of her current house. I only advised this as I knew she would be purchasing a similar sized property, so there wouldn't be a problem fitting them into her new home.

DIY Home Staging Report

I'm contacted numerous times by people living far away, where a regular consultation wouldn't be possible. So I developed a DIY report, that I prepare from photographs.

This client in S.W. London just sent photos of her empty property. I arranged the hire furniture, prepared a shopping list for the accessories, and supplied a detailed plan of where to put everything!

Name your rooms

When selling your home, it's important to show that each room has a purpose. Some of your rooms may be multi-purpose, like the office/lounge/dining room shown here, but you should only show one of it's uses when putting your home on the market. Move or hide the other items out of sight. A good test is to name each room - 'the dining room, the study, the spare bedroom,' and everything on show in those rooms should match the name.

New Team member

                                                                                 Welcome to my newest team member - my dog! I was replacing some flowers in a vase one day last week, and when I went to put them back, I saw that my dog had placed his own colour co-ordinated ball right in the very centre of the windowsill! Perfect!
