How do I price items for a yard sale?
Q. I have what I consider to be a lot of "high ticket" items. Bedroom furniture (entire set), end tables, bedroom dresser, vanity, bedding sets (which originally cost $150), expensive sweaters, etc.
What is considered "fair" pricing?
What is considered "fair" pricing?
A. If you really want to get rid of all of your stuff, price it to sell...that means at such a bargain that a yard sale shopper will buy it just because its a great deal...don't forget that this is used stuff...you should depreciate it in your mind first....a used bedroom set could have cost 1000 dollars new, but used...sell it for 200 dollars and someone will buy it, if its in great condition....Your bedding sets that cost 150, should go for 25-30 dollars...its all used and yard sale mentality....You could also start at a higher price and go lower if someone is interested, but feels its too expensive....If you want to get rid of the stuff.....price it low!!! People do not shop yard sales to pay Walmart prices for used stuff, even if its high end....they can go to the bigger discount stores and get it new.
How to make my large bedroom seem smaller, cozier?
Q. My bedroom is huge. I have usual furniture in it-- dressers, a twin bed, couple pics on the wall, etc, but it still looks too big! What can I do to make it look cozier without doing something major, like painting the whole room? Please note my apartment is rented, so i can't make any major, permanent changes.
I do have curtains and blinds in my room-- the usual stuff.

A. Painting isn't all that major, when you move, just prime and paint over it again, to the original color. It is the most impact for the money. I would go with your fav rich color, something like a dark neutral, like a charcoal gray or a caramel color, or a jewel tone with a glaze to make it shiny and transparent colors.
Window treatments, go BIG. Sheers across the windows, scaled to size and maybe a little longer than usual, but expand the look of the windows with the second layer. Use sexy touchable fabrics like chenille, velour, etc in a rich color, go higher than the window, across the whole window wall, or set up panels to tieback in between windows.
For furnishings, some ideas:
Bigger furniture pieces, esp if you can get a bigger bed. If you can't change the size, at least make it give a bigger impact. You can put the bed on a platform, or make a grand headboard to give it a bigger scale.
You can make good use of the space by setting up zones for other tasks in the room. It doesn't have to cost a lot. Some ideas: Allow generous room between zones so that the
A sitting area with a chair and/or couch, ottoman, reading light, a bookshelf.
A vanity area, maybe just a card table (dressed up with a table cloth) and a stray, simply designed dining chair (dressed up with a pillow case and a tassel like a slipcover). Use inexpensive baskets to store your makeup, perfumes, and hair products. Lighting is important here, if you can put it by a window, also include a lit makeup mirror.
A dressing area with an ottoman to sit and put your shoes on, maybe an old dressmakers dummy to model your fav coat or dress when you aren't using it. Include a full length mirror, for big impact, get a big one in a frame and lean it on the floor.
An exercise area. Outfit it with a minifridge to put bottled water in, maybe a coat rack to hang your towel and rolled up yoga mat.
An entertainment area, with TV, stereo, dance area, karaoke machine, stereo system, whatever. Add appropriate seating if you need it. A bench, some cute folding chairs.
An office, writing, art, craft, or other creative space.
Pick a few of these according to your interests and assign them places in the room perhaps a corner for each, with sensible neighbors of each group, for instance, maybe your dressing area is set up in front of or near the closet door, and next to that, you have a vanity area. Create boundaries and flow with furniture placement and rugs.
