Fabulous remodeled Westlake traditional w/ swim easement. Spacious fenced yard w/ patio, deck, & gate straight to Westlake Park! Gleaming refinished hrdwds, high ceilings, wainscoting, updated fixtures. Completely remdld kit w/ granite, island, tile backsplash, stainless appl. Master Suite w/ walk-in closet, dbl sink, jet tub. Huge 4th bdrm/bonus.



Rearranging the living room with an angled couch and console table behind it to house lamp gave this step down living room a open look, plus more space to enter the dining room. We borrowed an extra chair from the family room opposite the couch for a conversation. And the large leather chair and ottoman was moved to the master bedroom to fill a void space.  


 Decluttering a home of personal items certainly helps buyers see themselves in this beautiful home.

Fabulous remodel in Bethany area; excellent location, excellent schools! Dramatic vaulted ceilings, hardwoods, completely remodeled kitchen with slab granite, tile backsplace, new cabinets. Bedroom/office on main. 18x18 Master Suite w/ completely remodeled bath w/ new tile flooring, cabinets, counters, & tub. Spacious yard w/ large deck.



We decluttered this living room of extra couch which cut off the traffic flow into the room and swapped it into the family room for a cleaner look. The extra bean bag chairs were removed and the bright blue artwork orginally behind the couch now houses a more neutral contemporary painting borrowed from the dining room. Keeping it simple and minimal shows the space off more.


The family room once had a large blue sofa and oversized blue chair and was replaced with the neutral green couch from living room. We removed those and the area rug, which hid the great hardwoods and was too taste specific in the room. A little more decluttering the fireplace now becomes the focal point in this room.


Simple decluttering made this beautiful kitchen spacious and inviting.

UPDATED & IMMACULATE home in popular Kingsgate! You'll feel like every day is vacation in the pristine, park-like setting. Expansive decks w/2 gazebos + hot tub. Vaulted Liv Rm opens to Dng Rm with Fr dr to back yd paradise. Garden window in bright, spacious Kit. Newer: cabinetry, fixtures, windows, carpet, int/ext paint & heat pump. Walk to Bridgeport Village & Durham Park!




This home was listed for 4 months before Room Service was asked to come and consult with the homeowners. The bold wine color wall was adorned with instruments and the furniture configuration cut of the large open space. By removing the distraction of the instruments and rearranging the furniture (taking in consideration of the homeowners need to watch TV in here), we were able to open up the space a bit more and coordinate the wine color wall with some extra pillows.

 A little bit of decluttering goes a long way!
This kitchen was stuck in the 90's with the wallpaper, matching valance, and outdated brass chandelier. Now a clean slate with a neutral palate and a new modern light fixture brings this kitchen back to current living.  

 This family rooms flow was cut off with the loveseat blocking traffic flow into the backyard. By simply moving it against the back wall to face the fireplace and removing outdated floral and extra clutter we were able to open this space up some more.

This living room was a little too "Christmasy" long after the holidays. Lots of decluttering and neutralizing has made it more calm and cozy for entertaining or relaxing.


Declutter the fireplace mantel and hearth, plus painting the brick made this fireplace much more attractive and appealing to the buyer's eye. 



Once again, decluttering and removing extra bulky furnishings and decor opened up this kitchen area and now the focus is the view outside the garden window.

Reducing the number of books in the shelves enabled buyers to see the great library built-ins without distraction. Also, 40 year old carpet was removed and the hardwoods underneath were refinished for a reasonable cost - banking a great value added asset to the home. 


This bathroom had outlived its days with old carpet up the walls as part of the baseboard. Homeowner replaced flooring with a Marmaleum and new wood baseboards, repainted the original claw foot tub & WOW what a beautiful antique bathroom to soak in the tub in.
