In general the tone of these articles is about buying and selling real estate. We touch on remodeling, staging, updates and most anything else loosely related to real estate transactions. One of the most amazing feelings I have ever experienced was spending that first night in my newly built home over in Lincoln. For a brief moment (because I knew I was destined to sell the place) I felt like the master of my domain. The room sizes, floor layout, wall color, basement size and even the direction the home faced (towards Franconia Ridge) were all decisions I had made. There really is no greater feeling for a first-time homeowner.

So, this week I want to explore that feeling a bit more. We are going to run under the assumption that your home is yours and there is no intention of selling. We're not worried...

O.K. To be completely honest, I just wanted to use that word in an article title. As much as I enjoy droning on about reducing clutter and being more organized, that's not what we're about today. We won't even be talking about all the benefits of a de-cluttered kitchen for sellers and for your own sanity. Today we'll assume that your cabinets are, in fact, a cacophony and we'll cover a few ways to quiet the noise a bit and get you more control.

We have all spent time in a "new-to-us" kitchen. Whether visiting friends or relatives, crashing at an Air BnB or even just that first morning in your new apartment, condo or home. It is challenging to get your bearings, know where to find all the necessary ingredients and utensils and even be confident that you will have everything you need to create your culinary m...
