If you are thinking about tile for the
floor and tile for the wall, think grays and
whites. Contemporary colors and oblong
sizes are very popular right now. The shift
from square sized tiles to rectangular, 12
inches by 24 inches, are a very popular
selection and installers are more than
comfortable using this newer format.
This year we have seen more rectangular
tile sold than square, Sawaya said.
High-definition technology has given
homeowners the option to have tile
flooring that looks exactly like real wood
floors. Wood-look tile is being used
on both floors and walls, Sawaya said.
Gray wood-look floors and textured wall
tile designs are very popular right now.
Wood-look tile offers possibilities that
true wood does not. It can be used in wet

is like inviting
strangers in for a cup of tea.
Your personal possessions,
taste in decor and the visible parts of
your life are all on display. Here are
some tips for keeping your family safe
while your home is on the market.
Not only will prospective buyers visit your home in person, but
the interior of your home will also be
photographed and displayed on the internet. You do not want images of your
children, family or personal heirlooms
to land in the hands of someone with
poor intentions.
dont tempt
unscrupulous visitors
While an open house is now a secondary marketing tool, there are still
instances where they may be appropriate. Hosting an open house means
exactly that. Your house is open to the
public. Criminals have been known to
target open houses, only to return to

or homeowners, often
our house is our larg-
e s t i n v e s t m e n t . As such,
we are so invested in the
property that it is difficult to look
at it objectively. As a Certified
Staging Professional, I frequently
hear homeowners state (with
great dissatisfaction), the Realtor only wants to list my home
for X amount.
Keep in mind that the market
value of your property is limited
to the maximum a buyer is willing to pay in a designated area.
No matter how much more you
wish your house were worth,
it can realistically only glean a
maximum dollar value per square
foot. Yes, properly preparing and
showcasing your property will
encourage that top value. However, top dollar is not top dollar
plus, plus, plus.

becoming a resource
Last fall, Kirkpatrick opened Designer Warehouse as a labor of love
to give local folks access to a variety
of home dcor options that they just
might never get to encounter outside of
a magazine.
I wanted to fill a void, to be a resource for the design trade and interior
designers, Kirkpatrick said.
The Warehouse is in a gleaming
new 16,000-square-foot building that
also houses her husbands accounting
business as well as her wildly successful
Kirkpatrick & Associates hotel interior
design firm.

Crowne Plaza and Holiday Inn boast

Still, Albuquerques rather limited
exposure to the latest items available
was a burr.

2 years ago we put our house up for sale. It was on the market for 9 months
and did not sell. We put it up for sale again with the same realtor once again,
no sale. When our contract was up, we changed realtors and Crystal came
along. Just a few months later, it is sold!! She took care of everything she said
she would in a timely manner and delivered with professionalism and a smile.
Thank you Crystal for all you have done. You are amazing!! - Carla Rodriguez
