Before and After Renovation: The Amazing Technicolor Dream House!
We just finished renovation work on an outdated home with crazy colors like lime green, Pepto-Bismal pink, Groovy 70′s maroon, and bright blue.
We demolished the kitchen, bathroom, basement, and added a whole new bathroom in the lower level. We also got help from the Insider Show Facebook fans to pick colors and decide if we should keep or kill a curio cabinet in the dining room.
In the end we think it turned out great. You be the judge.
It is finished!

When Lightning Strikes a House!
Good thing lightning never strikes the same place twice…
When lightning strikes a house, it explodes into fire. It’s pretty terrifying! Watch the video below to see what it looked like when we found it.
It was crazy!
After the lightning strike and ensuing explosion/fire happened to this house, we took the chance to rebuild it into something even better.
This was our biggest project ever!

What Does Home Staging Do When Listing a Property For Sale?
Curious about home staging? The Chicago team just finished the renovation of a large home in Olympia Fields. In order to sell it faster, we decided to try staging the home.
What did home staging do?
Surprisingly, it made the home feel bigger. The furniture, artwork, and rugs helped define the space and give perspective. It also helped visitors imagine where furniture would go and what sort of decorations would fit well. Most importantly, it made visitors feel like it was a home that they could see themselves living in.
How did it look?
Right after they finished decorating, Jennie got a look at how it turned out. These videos offer you a picture of what home staging looks like before and after. Let’s go inside!

How did it look before?
If you’re curious what it looked like before, check out this initial final tour before the home was staged. The difference is remarkable.
