t’s always fun to do projects together as a couple, but home renovations, even if they promise more comfort or luxury, can cause real headaches for those involved.All the work that has to be done, a tight deadline and budget, and the many decisions to be taken all bring added stress to the relationship. The tension can be even greater if you have different ideas on how to do things!
tastes differ, be prepared to make some compromises so that you’ll both feel satisfied with what you have accomplished.

The right paintbrush for the job

• For oil-based products (alkyds), use natural bristles (often boar bristles) or nylon/polyester bristles

First of all, invest in good quality brushes; they will last a long time if you follow the manufacturer’s care recommendations. Be sure to choose a brush with the appropriate bristles for the type of product to be used.
The shape of the brush also has to be specific to the job. Rounded brushes are ideal for threedimensional surfaces (such as mouldings) and edges. Flat brushes are perfect for work that doesn’t require precision. Angular brushes are great for edges and drawing a narrow line. Flat, wide brushes should be used for ap plying varnish, while very wide models are useful for covering big surfaces, such as a patio.
Floor coverings also have an impact. Obviously, changing the flooring is a more costly and time consuming improvement but it can make all the difference. Carpets are to be avoided According to the experts, a first positive unless they are reasonably new and in impression is created within one minute, very good condition. Wood, good quality or even less. Consequently doors and floating floors, or tiling are preferable windows should be in good repair. The and are available at reasonable prices. outside entrance should be pleasing to the eye, the mailbox and any light Lastly, if it’s not possible to completely fixtures properly installed, and the yard remodel the kitchen or the bathroom, you could simply make a few small well maintained. improvements: change the cabinet The inside of the home should look clean handles or knobs and give them a fresh and uncluttered.To improve your chances coat of paint; replace broken tiles; of pleasing the majority of prospective declutter; and add a few uptodate buyers, walls should be painted in neutral decorative elements.
s it for edges or large areas? Do you need natural bristles or synthetic? Big or small? When it comes to paintbrushes, there is certainly no lack of choice. The following is a short guide to help you choose the model that suits your needs, so that you don’t paint yourself into a corner.
• For water-based paints (latex, acrylic), use polyester or nylon/ polyester bristles PHOTO: STOCKBYTE / THINKSTOCK
Tricks of the trade
Before painting, rub your brushes on a rough surface in order to get rid of any loose bristles. Once the job is finished, clean them in the recommended manner and leave them to dry upside down by hanging them on a piece of string (if there isn’t already a hole in the handle, one can easily be drilled).When dry, always store your bru shes with the bristles pointing up so that they keep their shape.
ost homeowners know that the secret to selling a home quickly and at a good price is to ensure that potential buyers fall in love with the property at first sight. However, before undertaking any renovations with the aim of selling your home, take the time to think about how much you want to spend, carefully decide which aspects of your home need improvement, and draw up a list of priorities.
colours, such as beige, pale grey, or ivory. Lots of welcoming light is also a must, so don’t hesitate to replace shabby looking light fixtures. This sort of inexpensive improvement can make a real difference in a potential buyer’s perception.

9 ways to improve curb appeal 4. Clean a home’s exterior to remove mildew or discolorations from the siding, driveway, patio, and other outdoor elements. 5. Improve landscapes with fresh plants and seasonal color. Homeowners without the time to plant can consider container gardens, which don’t take much time to assemble but still add appeal to a home’s exterior. 6. Prune planting beds and add new mulch to restore color. 7. Add shutters and accent trim to a home’s exterior to improve on the beauty of the house. 8. Install new fencing or give a fresh coat of paint or stain to an existing fence. 9. Replace concrete paths with tile or stone walkways to make entryways more impressive and inviting.

omeowners who want their homes to make strong first impressions must prioritize curb appeal. Homes with strong curb appeal sell well and can impart a welcoming feel to all visitors. Improving curb appeal need not be expensive, and the following are a handful of ways to improve the appearance of your home. 1. Install a bold-looking door in a vibrant color or one with a custom design. This helps the home stand out from other properties in the neighborhood. 2. Edge the driveway to create a distinct border between the driveway and the lawn or other landscaping features. This helps homes appear neat and well kept. 3. Use outdoor lighting to make a home more inviting. Outdoor lighting also makes properties safer to traverse at night.
Buying or Selling a home? Turn to the pros Trust the experts
Realtors are experts in the local real estate market and can thus appreciate the nature and the value of the property you want to acquire or sell. They are also recognized for their technical and legal skills. In short, they will accompany you through every step involved in acquiring or selling a home, choosing the most suitable insurance, or drafting a pur-
chase agreement with the best possible terms. With the help of a real estate agent, you won’t have anything to worry about when selling your home. Whatever your constraints or timeline, your agent will build a plan of action with you in order to sell your property at the best price possible. They will carry out an evaluation of your home, advise you on how to present it in the best possible way, and select potential buyers. All types of advertising will be used to ensure the visibility of your home, including displaying it in real estate offices and in the print media and on the Internet. Whether you’re selling or buying a home, a real estate agent will make sure that the experience is a positive one for you.
A realtor will help you to negotiate the purchase or sale of a home.
