Selling tip: Use mirrors wisely

INTERVIEW BY LAURA MANN

May 25, 2007

"Mirrors can provide a greater sense of space and elegance when properly placed. Be careful not to overdo it. But when placed properly throughout your home, each area will seem larger to the potential home buyer. Try looking in your attic or basement for any old mirrors, but be sure they have a nice frame or at least give the frame a new coat of paint."
