How to Hide a Water Heater - Realtor Secret Exposed!!

Our RE/MAX Gateway Real Estate Team was getting ready to List a BEAUTIFUL Condo for Sale, but the one issue that had always bothered our Seller was how to hide an ugly water heater located in the Laundry/Mud Room between the Garage and Kitchen. The space was very small and required plenty of venting, so building a wall was out of the question. We headed to Ikea and purchased the Kvartal Curtain Rods that could be mounted on the ceiling and featured a curved connector and curtain ...»

    Hello, Betty! This was a fun project thanks to IKEA. We used the Mitre Box that is sold next ...»
    to the Kvartal Curtain Rods to cut the Kvartal Metal Rods to the proper length before connecting the 2 long rods to the curved center piece. There always seems to be a change of stock in curtains - we picked a $19 set of 2 panels that was not too heavy, but also not too sheer, since the idea was to hide the water heater while allowing proper ventilation. You could probably use any curtain with a curtain rod that could be mounted to the ceiling (we needed extra long curtains because her ceiling was 10 ft tall!) I have seen clients use Tension Shower Rods with pretty Fabric Curtains if the Washing Machine and Dryer are hidden in a Closet Area. Best of luck with your project ~ We would love to see how it turns out! Thank you for your very nice post. Beth & Susie

    wanted to add that the shutters and door need a fresh coat of paint in a MATCHING color. I can't help with what color because being in FL I'm not accustomed to seeing a lot of brick. Good Luck on your sale. I agree that curb appeal is MOST important. You have to draw them in before you can sell. I would definitely choose light colors when selecting plants, even the greens should be light and variegated, flowers is white & pinks. The house just looks so dark, maybe white shutters to go with the white door?

Home Buyers Beware: You May Be Buying a Meth or Murder House

Some excellent free advice from a lawyer about purchasing a home that may be a former meth house or crime scene - what do realtors have to disclose? What do homesellers have to disclose? And what recourse does an unknowing buyer have?

  • White Stovetop with 1962 cabinets

I have a 1962 house with wood cabinets and nearly new white appliances in the kitchen.

What can I do to update the cabinets? Paint them white too? Or some other solution? I am going to sell the house.
