Dining rooms often seem to me to be the rooms with the most furniture and the ones homeowners use for more than one purpose.  Therefore they tend to collect things not related to dining.  When you are getting ready to sell your home take a really close look at your dining room.  Most dining rooms are furnished with a table and a collection of other furniture pieces including china cabinets, buffets, servers, sideboards and those "extra chairs".  This dining room is the perfect example: The photo is taken from the foyer so it is the first impression when you walk into the home.  As a professional stager my first goal would be to create a sense of spaciousness in this room.  One sure way of doing that is to make sure the opposite wall is visible.  Here, the opposite wall is largely hidden... 02/22/2011

Maui flood waters can be fun - new oceanfront properties on MauiWhile the rest of the country is suffering from the usual miserable winter weather, here on Maui we are also having our share of rain.  A huge storm front moved over the islands this morning and dumped a lot of water, causing road closures and flooding.  The scene in south Maui resulted in the usual road closure at Kaonoulu Rd and S. Kihei Road.  You can see why when you watch this short video.  Video and picture courtesy of Tara Crawford. The Villas at Kenolio is a low density townhouse condo development off Kaonoulu Road, adjacent to a wetland, making for nice open space by the complex.  Most of the year it's dry here and they even have to water the vacant land to keep the dust down at times.  Not so this morning.  The Vi... 01/13/2011
