Home Space and Reason

Episode 39 | Front Door Mats

A front doormat is one of the first lines of defense against bringing dirt, pollen, germs, and other pollutants into your home but what does yours say about you?  Does it thoughtfully complement the aesthetic of your entire home?  Does it speak about the people who live there and their values or taste? What is the reason behind your choice?  Do you want to make people laugh or embrace the mid-century modern vibe based on the architecture of your home?  Let’s talk about Front Door Mats!

Episode 36 | Laundry and the Laundry Room

If you want some insight into your overall personal stress level, how you do laundry can be telling!  There are several ways to consider the chore of laundry: how the space itself feels and functions, if you have a routine and whether that is working for you or not, If you have employed hacks or shortcuts, and if you get help with it. Let’s talk about the history of laundry, psychology of the chore, and deep dive into the areas of it that you dislike the most.

Episode 33 | Revise and Finish Home Projects

How many projects do you have lying around unfinished? As a realtor, I see first hand that garages can get lost in unfinished projects.  Guest rooms can become junk rooms where unfinished projects get closed behind a door. I have read statistics that more than half of U.S. homeowners have at least one uncompleted home project. Unfinished projects can add stress to your daily life, especially when you see the unfinished pieces lying around every single day and rendering entire spaces and rooms unusable. How do we finish what we have already started and how can we prevent this cycle from happening again?  Come geek out with me on Finishing & Revising Home Projects.

Did you know that you can hire me no matter where you live?  If you are stuck on one particular area of your home, I do online consults to help you with your space and reasoning. If you live in the Portland, Oregon area and you’d like to hire me as your Realtor or your home coach to help work through difficult spaces, reach out to me at Kristina@spaceandreason.com.  The finest compliment I could ever receive is the confidence of your referral.
