Turn Your Fireplace Nightmare into a Fireplace Masterpiece
Posted on January 31, 2012Turn Your Fireplace Nightmare into a Fireplace Masterpiece! by Delicious Decors, Santa Barbara, California
This is what we did for this Delicious Decors fireplace remodel project …..
First off, we removed the stone "seat" on the right of the fireplace. Get yourself a small jack hammer and you can do it too!
Let's turn Your Disaster into a Master
Next, we framed the existing fireplace of stone with 2 x 6 and 2 x 4 lumber. We covered the lumber with drywall at the top and cement board on the bottom and around the opening.
After the drywall had been "muddied" and sanded, we painted it the same color as the walls. Then we began the construction of the mantel and wood surround. All custom built!
We custom designed and built the mantle and fireplace surround from scratch, using crown molding and a mix of pine and MDF.
The glas tile was the finishing touch and what a wow factor the, "Kiss My Big Fat Glass," tile made! Yep, that's the name. Glass tile, 16 x 4.
We very carefully worked with the designer glass tile, first placing it on the face of the fireplace and then on the hearth.
That's It! You're all done! We think it turned out great!

99% of Home Buyers are Looking Online for their Next Home!
Posted on January 19, 2012Professional Real Estate Photography, Santa Barbara California
Did you know that 99% of home buyers are looking online for their next home? And that 84% of these folks said what they valued most from their online research were the photos? The first impression of your home is no longer when the potential buyer walks through the front door; they are only a click away
Extensive industry research demonstrates that professional photos of your home will help increase interest, drive traffic and result in a significantly higher sale price. You need a professional photographer!
A professional photographer uses a high quality camera, a wide angle lenses and knows how to maximize space and shoot interesting angles. A pro knows how to showcase your homes' best features and most interesting details. A professional will make your house stand out from the crowd.
If you are not using a professional photographer for your listing, you are not truly marketing your home to its fullest potential. Homes with many professional photos receive more page views online, making them rank higher on Web sites, resulting in increased visibility.
After staging your home … cleaning, organizing, repainting, removing personal items and adding curb appeal … you need a series of professional marketing photos to ensure potential buyers can see how special your home really is.
Please resist the urge to capture snapshots with your own camera or smartphone and let the professionals do the job!
We offer FREE professional staging photos when you stage with Delicious Decors.
We look forward to working with you,

Delicious Decors specializes in Custom Home Staging. The realtor was having trouble getting clients to walk into this room! She asked us to make it a playful media room for the entire family and this is what we came up with.
We turned this contemporary bedroom from blan to WOW with new bedding, artwork and lamps. A little redesign goes a long way!
From cold and vacant to warm and inviting. Before and after staging photo.

I just Love Home Staging! We turned this house from a construction site into a Home Dressed to Sell, let's take a look at some before and after photos.
The remodel update throughout the home is somewhat contemporary. To appeal to the largest potential market, we used traditional furniture with a blend of contemporary accents. Just what the realtor was looking for!
The living room is rather deep and has unbelievable views! To show this off, we added a pop of color with traditional wing back red chairs creating an inviting sitting area with views, views, views!
We offer FREE professional staging photos when you stage with Delicious Decors!
Check out this kitchen/dining area … a dining delight along with counter barstools to join the chef of the house.
I absolutely love this master bedroom suite! Nice warm and luxurious bedding, along with beautiful artwork and a chaise to relax and enjoy the view. I think we nailed it! Custom Staging is what we're all about.
Views, views, views! I love detail photos, so here's one more!
