Removing wallpaper, decluttering, rearranging all the furniture, transforming the indoor pool room from a funky bachelor's tiki bar to a relaxing spa area, and painting (with a little help from Tanya's mom!) was all it took to spark interest in this house.

Steam cleaning the carpets to remove the eau de dog and cigarette smoke, repainting the living room, dining room, hallways and master bedroom to lighten and brighten, and removing the clutter gave this rambler a breath of fresh air and a great new look, even though one of the homeowners was extremely unhappy with Roger's color choices.

This A-frame home features a large wooded lot, a pool, large rooms in an open floor plan, a finished basement, a high-ceilinged living room with a beautiful fireplace and a spiral staircase leading to a office loft.

This house built in 1968 looked every minute of its age, so Roger brought it into the present with some paint; updated window treatments, lighting fixtures and covers for the futon and chairs; a bamboo runner to cover up outdated counter-tops; removing excess furniture; clearing out the clutter; and getting rid of the bedroom rug to expose the beautiful hardwood floors.

This three bedroom house with a large yard just needed lots of repainting in bright, bold colors to cover up dark paneling and pink walls, some new light fixtures and window treatments, removal of worn carpeting to expose pristine hardwood floors, rearranging the furniture, and removal of the kitchen cabinet doors to attract a buyer and close the sale.

This four bedroom house quickly found a buyer after it was made brighter and more spacious by lots of paint, including covering up some dark paneling; new window treatments; rearranging and removing shelving and bulky furniture; and a good cleaning.

Lots of paint; new window treatments; covering up an unsightly heating duct; removing some furniture and rearranging the rest; and new flowerbeds was all it took to sell this house.

Roger's recuperation from knee surgery keeps him from tackling the stairs in this brownstone condo, so from a comfortable perch on the couch, he supervises Tanya and Megan Szczecko, his design assistant, as they carry out his plans for finding a buyer for this house by painting, eliminating musty odors, removing and rearranging furniture, turning a door that goes nowhere into an architectural focal point, adding new window treatments, and deemphasizing the narrowness of the house.
