NEWS FROM CAMP LIFE

Dear Camp Life Friends & Guests,

Once again, we are heading into another very busy year in real estate. If you would like to maximize your home’s full selling potential, I encourage you to make the necessary improvements now, before listing your home for sale. Homes that are fully updated, professionally staged and in desirable locations, sell quickly and often will receive multiple offers when priced competitively. I can personally attest to this, having sold multiple homes at the lake. Should this concept be of interest to you before listing your home for sale, I would be happy to personally assist you in this process to maximize your homes fullest potential. Even with limited inventory, most buyers today don’t want to remodel prior to moving into their lake home, so making the process turn-key from the start is my best advice. For those who don’t want to invest anymore into their lake home, and would rather consider an “as-is” immediate sale of their home without being listed for sale, that is another option I am happy to assist you with. For those of you who have been enjoying your lake home, and are looking for design inspiration, please take a look at page 12 in this issue. I look forward to hearing from you, and wish you all the best with your real estate endeavors at the lake.

Sincerely, Michael

CAMP LIFE HOME TRENDS

By MIChaEL DEMbiNski

SUBWAY TILE COLORS THAT WORK BEST IN YOUR LAKE HOME

Dark Green Subway Tile

I was inspired at “Camp Augusta” to select dark green subway tile with off-white grout after walking in a tiled bathroom at The Polo Bar in New York City. Additional inspiration can be found online by visting Philadelphia Magazine. Special thanks to Jordon Green & his entire team at The Floor Source (See Page 11) who supplied and installed all the tile including Camp Summer of ‘69 & Camp Naomi. Don’t be afraid to go green!

White Subway Tile

At Camp Summer of ‘69, I wanted to go with a more classic theme for this well-known A-Frame, and I thought adding in a darker grout to the white subway tile would feel more campy. Black Moen plumbing fixtures worked well with the dark grout, as chome would have been my second choice. This camp was featured in Philadelphia Magazine, The New York Times, and Cozy Cabins & Cottages, and maybe even Pinterest.

Black Subway Tile

To change things up, I wanted to experiment using black subway tile at Camp Naomi, and am so glad we did. The fancy look of this black subway tile was enhanced with off-white grout and brushed gold Moen plumbing fixtures. Walls were painted by J. Anthony Painting in Ben-Moore Chantilly Lace to offset the darker subway tile. Additional inspiration can be found online in Philadelphia Magazine.
