Thinking About Floors
I never would have expected that in my life I would think so much about floors. At some point, something ignited within me that now causes me to examine the floors inside practically every building I enter and compare them against the floors in my own home. Most of my floors are pine, and I like them well enough, but I am jealous of beautiful old maple boards. Pine is a softwood, so they scratch and scuff easily, though it doesn't bother me too much. I try to find the silver linings, like how they pop and creak in places when I walk on them—I honestly love that they have that rustic charm. They certainly aren't perfect; nails pop out in places and the boards are further apart than I'd like, allowing for dirt and dog hair to get into all of the seams (but of course not far enough apart for the vacuum to fit into!) Still, they've held up fairly well over the years and make sense in my little house.

- Reset Each Room to Feel Like a Blank Slate
Think of your home as a model space that should spark a buyer's imagination. Tuck away anything that tells your personal story—family photos, vacation souvenirs, or bold décor choices. Instead, aim for a clean, understated look that highlights the room's potential. Surfaces like countertops and side tables should be mostly bare, with only one or two accents that suggest comfort without distraction. If a room feels tight or cluttered, remove extra chairs or small furniture pieces that interrupt the flow. Empty space speaks louder in photos, helping each room feel larger and more inviting.
