When people think about boosting their property’s value, they tend to think of large-scale remodelling projects, e.g. a whole new kitchen. However, there are some smaller things you can tackle yourself that will also help to add value to your home. Some projects to consider include:

  • Kitchen: Add adhesive backsplash tiles
  • Bedroom: Install crown molding
  • Laundry room: Revamp and revitalize
  • Garage: Clean and paint the floor
  • Yard: Upgrade landscaping
  • Clean your gutters
  • Power wash your sidewalks
  • Paint the front door
  • Change your light fixtures
  • Update your window treatments
  • Upgrade cabinet knobs and drawer handles

Brandy is a 2-year-old German Shepherd mix with a serious love for belly rubs, fetch, and being your constant shadow. She’s sweet, affectionate, and always ready to flop over for tummy time! This big, bouncy girl handles beautifully and is incredibly people-oriented—so much so that being left alone makes her sad. She will not hesitate to vocalize when she feels lonely or may try to find an escape route to get to her people. Because of this, she’d thrive in a home where someone is around most of the time to shower her with attention and keep her company. Brandy is easily excitable and can be jumpy when making new friends with people, so she’s best suited to a home without kids. She knows “sit” and “drop it,” has a cute little auto-sit when she wants something, and will gently place her toys at your feet for fetch (which she LOVES and doesn’t destroy—bonus!). Brandy also insists on being the one and only furry royalty in your life. She doesn’t want to share her humans, her home, or her toys—so no other pets, please! She’s ready to rule her kingdom solo as the Queen Bee she knows she is. If you’ve got a secure yard, a good throwing arm, and room in your heart for a one-dog show, Brandy just might be your perfect match. Check out LAPS here for more adoptables .
