I'm at work, sitting and waiting for a restaurant owner to meet with me. -why do we love restaurants so much? Because we spent much of our evolutionary process huddled around communal fires, hearths. The kitchen is the heart of the home. You have a great one. We do too, and I'll miss it:
Yes, it's a convection oven if you so choose. It's also a grill. It's about 50% of the reason I bought the house. It's probably 80% of the reason the people that are buying the house from me are doing so. If you want to sell your house, put in a bad ass kitchen. Spare no expense. It's amazing to me how bad some people are at staging their homes. Clutter, personalized crappy art. Some are really great though and can make a house seem much more appealing than it actually is. -There's a real art to it.
Nice. I saw the flat portion and that enormous hood, so I assumed there was a grill. Not that I have a home to sell, but I agree. Especially the hood. You can have a really great range, but it's useless if searing will smoke up your house every time. My aunt is a realtor, dealing with high-end properties and she said the same thing. She told me that staging a place can command a much higher price, especially if the buyer likes the staging enough to buy the place "as is". It's funny that you mention staging, as I was just talking about it with a friend. My aunt also told me that a lot of the furniture she uses in staging properties just gets thrown out and that I might be interested in selling some of it. If I can figure out a cheap storage option and a cheap way to get access to a truck, I've got some ideas that I think could work.If you want to sell your house, put in a bad ass kitchen.

Rico 30 years from now: "Well, we started with just one van and a few pieces of furniture that my aunt gave us from a house she staged. Now we're in all 80 states and we are going to be the first furniture reseller on the new colony."If I can figure out a cheap storage option and a cheap way to get access to a truck, I've got some ideas that I think could work.
-That's a good idea. Be careful, this is how long-term businesses are born.
