KITCHEN

Appeal to the sense of smell- Put something in the oven like apple pie,cookies or fresh bread. Or, simmer some cinnamon sticks and add a few drops of vanilla to make the home smell fresh and clean.

Accessorize

Adding decorative items in the kitchen can warm up the area and make it more ‘cozy’.  Go to a thrift or resale shop and get great deals on glass items.  Use a tray (wood, silver, glass, etc.) with two coffee cups and a small package of Starbucks coffee displayed between the cups, and pretty paper or cloth napkins. Also, find a large glass—or pottery bowl—and fill it with individual candies, pre-packaged crackers, pretzels, etc. It looks nice and each buyer who comes through can grab a snack from the bowl. It’ll help them remember your home.

Go Green

If your listing has some green features (EnergyStar appliances, generator, double-paned windows, bamboo flooring), continue the theme with strategically placed soy candles, homemade guest soaps, and green cleaning products under the sink area. People will notice!
