A guest post by Jennifer Riley Simone
One element in home remodels that can be often overlooked is lighting. Well-planned illumination schemes add interest, intrigue, and flair to your home, and offer a particular ambience to a space. Good lighting makes your guests feel welcome, or draws their eyes to certain objects or areas within your home.
There are many do-it-yourself lighting projects that can add immediate impact, such as updating lamp shades, installing dimmers, and adding up-lights. More involved projects such as recessed lighting, cabinet lighting, and installing ceiling lights, should be handled only by a professional, licensed electrician.

Installing A Urinal In Your Indianapolis House.. Wait, What?
Tuesday, January 17th, 2012 at 10:30am. 1261 Views, 4 Comments.
In recent years, the idea of installing a urinal in a new home has become a more prominent question. It saves water, saves space, and with a house full of boys, why not? Even ladies of the house are starting to come around to the idea, because it allows for less mess. So let’s address the questions of the urinal.
Why haven’t we seen more urinals in homes? Well for starters when we think urinal, we think of one of those dirty plain white ones in mass in the public bathroom. Even men wouldn’t think of installing one of those in their elegant master bath. And of course if the husband gets his own urinal, shouldn’t the wife get her own bidet? In reality there are more designs to urinals than we think are around. There are handmade ones that resemble an…

The fastest way to sell your home can be by upgrading it. This is especially true if you haven't done a thing to your house in years except sweep and vacuum. A fresh, updated home is one that is more appealing to buyers, and even if you're strapped for cash in a tough market, you can make small improvements that will help buyers find more to love about your property.
Start Painting
A careful paint job can do wonders to cover up dated wall coverings and the wear and tear of the years. If you are willing to spend the time, you can paint over scarred and dingy cabinets to brighten them up. You can paint over outdated wall paneling or wall paper – but be sure you learn the best techniques ahead of time! You can paint over your walls and your front…

We welcome guest contributor Corey Palmer.
Selling an Indianapolis home in this economy can to be a challenge. The competition between desperate sellers is fierce, the pricing of the homes is all over, and many driven by short sales in a particular area.

On top of that, buyer's requirements have not changed - they want better for less money and in this economy, they can choose, as there is a large inventory of great homes available.
People that take pride in their homes and generally have the inside of the home in great shape and have done some remodeling at some point, always with the goal of improving it and making it more attractive. Sometimes, most of the…

Guest Blog provided by Horizon Window Treatments, experts in custom and electrical window treatments for over 10 years.
Selling your home in this buyer’s market, where there are an abundance of properties competing, and the buyer can afford to be picky, you really need to focus on details that will set you apart and give your home a distinct advantage. Window Treatments are often overlooked by sellers, but can make a huge impression to buyers. Often, homes are presented with bare windows, which are great if you have an impressive view, but you don’t want to have the buyer start adding to a list of move-in costs and things to worry about. A painting almost always looks nicer with a good frame anyway. Simply staging your home with decorative window…
Indianapolis Flooring: Hardwood, Tile, or Carpet
Thursday, September 23rd, 2010 at 8:32am. 521 Views, 0 Comments.
Whether you’re buying a newly constructed house and get the thrill of choosing your floor, or you’re buying an older home and need to make renovations, flooring options can be confusing. There is no one right answer for everyone, but the choice you make you’ll have to live with for a while, so consider your family’s needs, your personal preferences, other homes in the area, and the cost to install and maintain your flooring preference.
In the kitchen, many people are scared of hardwood floors. They’re afraid that any spills will immediately damage the floor. And, if you don’t have enough coats of poly on top, it might. But with enough coats of sealant, hardwood can be very durable. The other advantage is this – if you stand in your kitchen a…
Home Selling With Pets

You’re ready to sell your home and you’ve done almost everything right. The closets are cleaned out, the bathroom fixtures are updated, and the old wallpaper in the dining room has been stripped and painted over with a lovely neutral paint. Before you call the real estate agent, you realize you need to do something about that pet.
There are two primary concerns when you’re dealing with pets and selling your house. First of all, what do you do with the pet while you’re showing the house actively?
For most people, putting their cat or dog in a boarding kennel for a few weeks in unthinkable, but some pet owners may have a friend or family member who wouldn’t mind pet sitting for a little while.
Otherwise, you’ll just need to…
