Artificial lighting can be a huge help to illuminate dark corners or pockets, so don’t be afraid of it! Just start with as much natural light as possible, and supplement artificial light wherever needed. Curb Appeal Making your home stand out from the get-go can be tough in winter. Now, more than ever, it’s imperative to repair any cosmetic errors such as fresh paint or broken doors. Buyers...
