To sell a home in Minnesota, particularly Minneapolis, your property needs to be: updated, organized, staged, and clutter free.   Homes that show in mint condition sell faster in any market PERIOD.   Selling and buying homes is like chess: You need to look two or three steps ahead in the game.   When updating your home in the Twin cities, you should always have potential buyers in; unless you plan on staying in your home for more than a couple of years.   Whether you are looking to update your single family home to current trends or are looking to sell, simple renovations can be done by you on a budget. Depending on the current condition of your home, minor upgrades typically have a higher return on your money than tackling major renovations; the latter typically takes longer and easily go over budget.   However, not all updates improve the value of your property.   Limit your home improvements to the location, value of neighboring homes, consumer demands of that area.   If you don’t have exceptional skills at home renovations, or don’t see the work as a hobby, stick to minor repairs and interior updates.   While tackling larger renovations yourself may save money upfront an end result screaming “novice craftsmanship” will ultimately cost you more money than it would have if the work was done by a general contractor. A successful interior design project is not determined by the cost of its components.   Keep an open mind and blend less expensive components with a few chick pieces by visiting thrift stores, antique boutiques, and warehouse retail stores catering to Minneapolis, MN real estate owners.   There are different ways to do this and you do not have to spend a lot.   Find a few easy to replicate ideas below. Add some Pizzazz Outside; It’s what brings buyers inside:  The best place to start your updates is outside.   Increasing the curb appeal of your home provides a great return on your money. Clear up clutter, dig up overgrown trees and shrubs and replace them with newer less expensive shrubbery. If you have the numerical portion of your address listed on your home, make sure they are visible and well kept. Make sure your deck looks nice and fresh.   Nothing hurts the look of a home worse than a lackluster outdoor entertainment area. Update your doors by applying a new coat of paint, new hardware, or change them completely.   You can find closeout doors at home centers, salvage yards, antique stores, flea markets, etc. Find a door that matches your home style and discard old and worn doors that date your exterior Make your interior sparkle on a budget:  Once you have the buyer in, they are going to expect an interior on the same level of quality as they experienced outside.   There are many ways to update the interior of your home on a budget. Clean and arrange the bedrooms, living room, bathroom and kitchen properly.   Consult the internet or your real estate agent for staging tips. Organize otherwise cluttered spaces such as under counters in the bathroom and kitchen inexpensively with lined wicker baskets.   Store away everything from hairspray, makeup and medicinal items to household cleaners and linens that would detract from the beauty of your home. Give your home a fresh coat of paint and keep up with current design trends, without being too trendy.   Before you start painting, study what most buyers are looking for.  Spruce up one tone interiors with an accent wall — a splash of color in an otherwise beige room can be very appealing. Custom Artwork on a dime:  Reuse disposable pieces of your favorite products for custom wall art. Keep the corks from wine bottles and glue them into a shadow box for instant vino wall art. For a conversation centerpiece, place the corks of your favorite wines in a large decorative bowl on your dining room table. If you have a lot of space between your kitchen cabinets and the ceiling, wash and save empty wine bottles and decorate that unused space. Create simple abstract artwork.   Purchase a few canvases and paint at your local craft store and let your imagination run wild. Give your bathroom the facelift it needs.   Replace the standard plate mirror with a nicely framed one. Take black and white photos and enlarge them for a unique work of art. Plain or dated light switch plates? Buy sandpaper and spray paint for an updated look. Mix and match Drab and glam and create appealing Furniture on a budget: Each room within your home should have a lifestyle with a well defined function.    Create unique room appropriate furniture in a jiffy. Take an inexpensive parsons-styled table and add a custom granite or marble top. Lacking furniture and visual interest in your spare bedroom?  Easily update the room with: a fresh coat of paint, new bedding, and a custom headboard.   Purchase a complete bedding ensemble and fit the sheets to the canvas. Does your kitchen need a facelift?  Try resurfacing your current cabinets, applying a fresh coat of stain, and add new hardware. Have an open floor plan?  Use furniture to define the space into distinctive living areas.   Take an open sided bookcase and use it to break up a family and dining room. No room for overnight guests?  Transform your office into an overnight oasis for visitors.   Adding an office appropriate sofa sleeper and a quality wardrobe creates a multipurpose room without taking up additional space. While routine repairs and updates are necessary, updating your home does not necessitate a higher asking price.   The true value today’s market is a reduction in the number of days your home sits on the market; leading to a higher sale price.   A home that is well designed, organized, and appropriately staged will sell quicker than its less attractive competition (excluding factors such as pricing strategy, location, etc). http://www. kristinbolinske. com

Most homes need a little sprucing up now and then, and yours is probably no exception. If you’re seeking cost-efficient, simple ways to improve the look and comfort of your home, then read on. We’ve compiled some of the best ways for you to improve your living space:
Need a Lift? Try Color!
Maybe you’re tired of looking at drab white walls. You may have thought of painting your walls a different shade, but felt nervous about making such a dramatic change. Well, fear not! With all the choices available on the market these days, you’re sure to find the perfect shade for your walls. Many paint providers will custom mix colors for you to come up with the perfect one. If you’re timid about painting, try a pale neutral like beige. Or, warm things up with peach. For the more adventurous out there, try a bright or jewel tone on your interior walls. Red is powerful and incites energy, so use it in small quantities. On the other hand, too much blue can be too frosty. Try to balance warm and cool tones in the room to offset any imbalances. For example, if your walls are a cool blue, try furnishings in warm gold tones to balance out the coolness.
Make What’s Old New Again
You can change your existing furniture to make it look like brand new pieces! Give an old table a fresh coat of paint. Try a faux marble finish or crackle paint for an interesting look. Give old lamps new life with colorful new shades. Add throw pillows in rich colors to your sofa, then top it off with a cozy throw or blanket in a coordinating shade. An area rug or two can give any room a fresh look. If your sofa or upholstered chair is ratty or even torn, use a slipcover to make it look great in a hurry! With a little creativity, you can find lots of ways to turn your old pieces of furniture into attractive new pieces.
Integrate the Elements
A good balance of the four elements can help any room feel more inviting. Try wood and houseplants to invoke the feel of earth and air. Plants are especially good because not only do they look nice, they actually improve the quality of the air. Candles are great to bring fire’s warmth into a room, as is a fireplace. And a gorgeous fish aquarium or tabletop fountain provides the soothing energy of water.
Add Beauty with New Flooring
If your floor is not in the best shape, then it affects the look of the entire room. Try replacing that worn-out floor with a brand new one. Laminate flooring is a fantastic option for someone who wishes to make a cost-efficient change that’s easy to do. Even a novice can install laminate flooring, as it is designed to simply snap together and can usually be installed over an existing floor.
You’ll find lots of choices as far as the look of the flooring. There are plenty of wood patterns, as well as stone, ceramic and slate looks in every imaginable shade. As far as cost is concerned, there’s everything from budget flooring choices to premium ones.
Alloc is a leading laminate manufacturer that produces a stunning range of floors like the Classic Plank Collection that features characteristic wood patterns such as Midwestern Oak, Country Beech and Walnut Allure to name a few. By choosing laminate, you can get the look of expensive hardwood without having to fork out a fortune.
Don’t Forget the Outside
With all the potential improvements you can make to the interior of your home, it’s easy to neglect the outside. But the outside of your home is the first thing people see. If you live in a wood home, make sure the paint is fresh and unchipped. Paint the shutters a new color to give your home renewed interest.
Plant some flowers in the front of your home if you don’t already have them. Try some soft lights along your sidewalk to light your path when it’s dark. One fantastic way to raise your home’s value and improve it at the same time is to install a pool or hot tub. Not only will you get the benefits of having your own place to splash around in, your home will be worth more if you ever decide to sell it.
As you can see, there are lots of different ways to add value and beauty to your home. Many of these options are easy and cost-efficient, and could be done in a day or two. Use your imagination and think of ways to turn your home from good to great!

Anyone who has ever had drywall in their house knows that eventually a door will get slammed open; a piece of furniture smacked against the wall, or some other incident will create a gouge, a hole or a scratch in the drywall that must be fixed. When those times happen, get out your tools and get to work: there’s no need to hire a contractor to come in and patch your drywall, it’s a relatively easy fix that you can handle yourself!
The first thing you’ll need are a few essentials to handle the job right:
-A drywall repair kit.
-Clean tin can lid.
-Tape measure.
-Keyhole saw.
-Thin wire or string.
-Scissors or wire cutters.
-Scrap wood.
-Putty knife.
-Drywall patching compound.
-Sandpaper.
-Primer and paint.
-Paintbrushes.
The easiest way to fix any drywall repair project is to purchase a drywall repair kit from your local home improvement store. Be sure you measure the hole that needs fixed and buy the appropriate kit for the job. For example, a drywall patch for a ceiling is thicker than one for a wall.
Once you’re ready to begin, remove any loose paper or plaster around the edges of the hole, then apply drywall patch, following the manufacturer’s instructions.
To make a repair to a small drywall hole without a kit, follow these instructions:
Step 1:
Prepare tin can lid that is at least 11/2 inches more in diameter than hole in drywall for backing piece. Use keyhole saw to cut out narrow horizontal slit in wall on each side of hole. Measurement of hole plus both narrow slits should equal diameter of lid so you can insert lid sideways into hole.
Step 2:
Use awl to punch two holes in center of lid. Thread 12-inch piece of wire or string through holes.
Step 3:
Holding ends of wire, slide lid through slit. Still holding wire, pull lid toward you until it’s flat against inside of wall. Can lid should be held firmly against inside of wall.
Step 4:
Use putty knife to apply premixed drywall patching compound over patch following manufacturer’s instructions. Pack the compound into the hole, keeping it inside. Do not spread it on wall surface. Leave patch slightly low, and don’t try to level it. Let patch dry until it turns bright white, typically at least 24 hours. When dry, cut string or wire and remove stick.
Step 5:
To finish patch, fill it completely with more patching compound to make patch level with wall surface. Let dry, lightly sand area, prime, and paint.
