Give bathrooms the spa treatment

Add accessories to your bathroom that transform it from a regular bathroom into a spa. When you visit a spa, you often find large and small towels rolled up and displayed inside of a basket or arranged on a decorative tray. Adding candles (lit or unlit) is another way to create a peaceful and calming atmosphere in your bathrooms, says Chantay Bridges, an agent with Clear Choice Realty & Associates in Los Angeles. It's all about creating a welcoming space.

No matter what the situation is in the housing market, you want to make your home as appealing as possible to potential buyers. Presentation is everything and can mean the difference between offers rolling in and your house languishing on the market.
