Hello Friends,

A friend of mind sent me an article this morning regarding 15 design styles that raise the sales of homes.  Three words, Barn Doors, Subway Tiles and Farm Sinks used in a description will draw attention immediately.   Lets face it Woman are the driving force in the purchasing of a home.  The home needs to feature elements that are pleasing and comfortable.

With all the new HGTV home sale, flips and fixer uppers shows on daily, people are looking for those elements that are featured on those television shows.

Lets start with the first one Barn Doors.  I know this for a fact that this sells a house…may sound silly but it does.  Barn doors on pantry’s closets or in rooms is a selling feature.
