Pets and selling your home
When preparing your home to sell, it might be a good idea to examine it from a pet’s perspective. My advice is to remove as many excess pet items as possible, in particular toys and food. Make sure you have cleaned up well after your pet, in particular where they are fed, outside dog runs and the location in which you store the litter box. Look for stray fur-balls floating around the floors, and use a lint brush if necessary on your upholstered furnishings and draperies. It might also be wise to repair any damage done by your loveable but perhaps destructive puppies or kittens: Touch up scratched paint or polyurethane, fill in any holes dug by dogs outside in your yard, remove any torn furnishings or carpets, and remove all pet stains. Also, disinfect or deodorize if there are pet smells in the home — a sure turn-off for a prospective buyer, especially one that does not like pets. Hire a professional carpet cleaning company to sanitize and thoroughly clean your carpets before your first showing. Once this is done, you may want to limit the areas in which you allow your pets.

“Color This!” at Better Homes and Gardens
Here’s a fun and helpful tool for you to test out color ideas for your walls, furniture and accessories. Try “Color This!” at the Better Homes and Gardens website www.bhg.com.
Test out your ideas for interior decorating BEFORE buying paint products. Choose one of their design photos and then change paint colors for either interior walls or exterior siding, along with fabric, window treatments, flooring, roof color, trim and more. Designs can be saved to look at again later, printed out on paper, or e-mailed to a friend. Similar applications can be found at paint manufacturers’ websites such as Valspar, Behr or Benjamin Moore. The one I played with had limited paint color selections, but it was enough to give you a good feel for your pending projects. It might make you feel better about a daring color choice!
