A dated bathroom doesn’t need to sabotage your home sale. Nothing turns off a potential buyer faster than a dirty bathroom so a thorough scrub-down was the first step in this urban 1970’s home. Next came the removal of personal and superfluous items (extra toilet tissue stored in the linen closet rather than in the bidet!), and the replacement of missing light bulbs and broken fixture handles. And, finally the finishing touches – new luxurious bath linens, shower curtain and bath rug, a shiny stainless steel soap pump and trash can, and decorative accents such as candles and a window valance. Staging of this bathroom transformed dirty and dated to warm and welcoming

A large portion of the $75,000 above asking sale price can be directly attributed to the update of this kitchen.
