Buyers Wanted: Now!

After: Spacious Dining Area
The protruding shelf is now gone, freeing up valuable dining space (note the new table and chairs), the window boasts a fun new treatment, and all those accessories on the shelves have been downsized.

Here's how all that decluttering and sprucing up broke down:

furniture $1,422
paint and supplies $140
lighting $198
window treatments $165
decorative accessories $70

Total: $1,995

The Cunhas couldn't be more pleased with the results, and so were potential buyers — the open house was a rousing success!
