I would certainly remove the outdated cornice over the slider and then place simple, sheer panels on each side. You can buy really nice, inexpensive panels at IKEA. I would also hang the same panels on the side window. All the panels should be hung at the same level to allow buyers eyes to smoothly travel...

Look at your view!!!! I'd pull them all the way up when showing the house!

Hi Beth, Leaving the windows as is, as mentioned by my colleagues above is best for showing, makes the room light, bright and airy. I would also suggest that having the yard in top shape and the patio clean, clear and clutter free (plants that have seen better days, dormant or dead should be completely...

We recently painted our large living room a more neutral, buyer friendly color (that's why lamp and other things are still on floor). Now I'm wondering if it is necessary to have something on the windows. We live on the edge of town and don't have any immediate neighbors, so covering the...

I wanted to talk about windows and I don't mean Microsoft Windows but the ones we have in our homes. Some homeowners live in older houses with single pane windows and others with the newer double pane Low-E windows. My family owned a window and door company called National Builders Supply in Dallas...

Do you know what type of window frames you have in your home? It effects the energy efficiency of your home, as well. The three main types of window frames are aluminum, vinyl and wood. There are variations on these types but we'll stick with the main ones to keep it less confusing. I prefer the...

Wooden blinds, if in good, clean, working condition are a perfect choice. Think about the purpose windows serve. You are selling the view (if good) and light in the space. Heavy or dated drapery is out in most cases. If the space is large and too sterile (it's hard to tell from the photo) then you...
