Now is the time to list your home if you are planning on selling this year. Limited inventory continues to drive home prices up, and with the talk of interest rates going up, this is a great market for sellers.

We kick off the new year with an exclusive interview with architectural color specialist and interior designer, Joan Ffolliot, of DoubleFFDesign. Joan lives for color. Since graduating from high school in New Hampshire, she has lived bicoastally for most of her adult life. From Vermont to California, Rhode Island to Washington, each move offered the opportunity to drive across the country (9 times!) and soak in the forms, colors, and light as it changes from place to place.

Joan officially pursued a Fine Art career, first getting her undergraduate degree in Sculpture at the University of Washington and then getting her graduate degree in Sculpture and her professional certification in Interior Design at the Rhode Island School of Design in…

This month's featured home is a beauty!

There's something intriguing about minimalist living.  With less space (these homes are less than 1000 square feet), you'll want to focus on streamlining your belongings and furniture. Go for a few special pieces in each room; "quality versus quantity" is your new mantra! If you find yourself renovating, try adding a few clever design details, maybe new windows to let in more light, and think about a fun mix of colors to…
