Mortgages for Canyon Green, Novato, CA   You don't see it too often in Marin County, CA --- new construction, that is.  So the other day while I was driving in Novato, I allowed myself the innocent distraction of following the signs to the new development of Canyon Green, located roughly off of the DeLong/Diablo exit and close to the Grant St. downtown area.     There are 6 floor plans available and prices will start from mid-$700's.  This means that RPM can finance many of these properties with as little as 10% down (80/10/10 financing).     For months both real estate agents and buyers alike have been lamenting about the lack of inventory, and especially stock of desirable homes.  And here we'll have 25 new units to add to a vibrant community, close to open space and all that is great... 02/18/2014

Can Professional Home Staging make a diference to the sale of a Home? I believe it can...  "With Divine Style" was called in to stage a home that had been on the market for a little over three months.  Always curious why a house lingers on the market I decided to look at the online photos on the MLS.  The house was furnished when I looked online but when I arrived to preview the home much of the furnishing were gone.  Below are the photos from online, vacant and the after home staging final results.  You be the judge...  does Home Staging make a difference to the presentation of a home?

Just how much can professional Home Staging make to online photos? One of the homes that we staged was on the market a little over three months before "With Divine Style" was called in.  I made an appointment to preview the home and then went online to check out the presentation of the home and how it was presented to potential buyers.  Below were the two online photos of this bedroom. Online Photos ~ Before "With Divine Style" Home Staging                                                                                    Online Photos ~ Before "With Divine Style" Home Staging     When I arrived at the house I was told that the owner had moved and taken almost all of the furniture that I saw on the online photos.  Here is the the same bedroom the day I previewed the home.

"Getting Healthy the right way!"   In an effort to live a better life I am always looking for foods that work for you and not against you.  We have so many choices when I comes to food and yet I have always leaned toward convenience rather then total heath.  I tried something new this month that I have never tried before...  it may seem odd that I haven't tried this before but I really just never had.  It's "Quinoa" and it's really good!  I tried "Quinoa" at my daughters house and I quickly asked for the recipe...  and have since made it.  I want to share it with you...  if you have already tried "Quinoa" you might like it made this way...  and if you haven't tried it I highly recommend it.   "Zesty Quinoa Salad" Prep time: 20 minutes    Cook time: 10 minutes     Ready in: 30 minutes   ... 04/28/2013

"There's nothing like Fresh!" There is nothing like fresh fruits and veggies from the garden.  This year we decided to grow Lima Beans... they have always been a favorite of mine.  I've never had them fresh from the garden before so it was a treat to pick them myself and cook them up. Lima Beans are great anyway you fix them...   in Salads, Soups, Casseroles or just as a side dish. After I removed the Lima Beans from the pods I rinsed them and put them on to cook.  I took the empty pods and put them into our compost pile so their was no waste. I decided that I didn't want to wait while they soaked over night so I put them into a pot and brought them to a boil, then I covered them and turned off the heat and let them soak for an hour and then drained the Lima Beans.  At this point they w... 04/28/2013
