I have a thing for emeralds. I always have. The color. The gemstone. The cut. There’s something about the deep richness of this shade of green and the geometric elegance of an emerald cut stone that makes my heart purr. An equally satisfying obsession of mine is entering a space and envisioning what it could transform into by seeing an array of colors, textures, forms, and light to completely bring about a new room. This eye to see the potential of an interior has been immensely helpful and fun in my efforts to assist my clients. While we tour homes, I love the trust my buying clients extend to me as they let me share my visions of how they could personalize a home to make it theirs, on our walks through properties together. Exploring how we can affordably and creatively enhance their homes for a modern market, while keeping the original charm, is one of my favorite aspects of working with my sellers, as we prepare for listing.
While I have been spending this season steadily at home, a number of my clients are in the middle of home remodels and have reached out to chat about their adventures of these undertakings during this time of covid 19. Our conversations have sparked my love for emerald and my recent ache for a fresh landscape to blend, leading me to peruse the internet for deep, glossy, green spaces.
If you are equally feeling a desire to find yourself far away in a world other than the location of your current quarantine, may I suggest the refuge to be found in these luxurious, calming, gem colored bathrooms. Each one swoon worthy of a mental getaway. Who knows, this just might be the inspiration you’re needing to jump start your search for a new home. If you are hoping to pair with an agent who can see beyond just the walls immediately around us and knows how to safely voyage into today’s listings, I would adore partnering with you to seek out and successfully close on that dream!
