Condo Goes Contemporary

After: Private and Profitable
Before, when buyers walked into this condo everything was in plain sight. Now, a bedroom wall makes the sleeping area a lot more private and a lot more profitable. By making this home a true one-bedroom, the couple can increase their asking price. Inside the bedroom, a new closet, neutral wall color and colorful linens turn the room into an enticing retreat.
