I found a super new place to play on the web today: www.Havertys.com . There's a great room planning tool there that lets you lay-out a space and than arrange furniture in it. You can use their products or a generic list of furnishings including bathroom fixtures, walls, doors, fireplaces, etc. I know there's always been software sources for furniture lay-out but I love that this one is free! I tried my own living room which has way too many windows and doors, plus a funky wall and a parlor grand piano that I've been decorating around for years. I managed to get everything in, including a shape for the piano.
I wish this tool had been around when we moved into our current home. It sure could have saved a lot of furniture moving and some questionable purchases I've made over the years. While I don't think it replaces the function of a good interior designer, for the DIYer or new homeowner it could sure make arranging a room and making furniture choices a lot easier!
About Me
- Gwen Williamson Mathews
- Yes, I sell Real Estate and yes, I do really love it! It's rewarding and I’m pretty darn good at it. I’ve always had a thing for houses and been fascinated by architecture but mostly, I like the people. Houses are fun however it’s clients that keep me in this business day after day! Nothing is more satisfying than helping my clients find the home of their dreams and when the time comes to move on, being there to help them sell that same house as quickly and as profitably as possible. Once upon a time I worked in higher education administration. I have an undergraduate degree from Transylvania University in English and Sociology and a master’s degree from The University of South Carolina (USC). After about 15 years of working in development and student life positions at The Savannah College of Art and Design, USC-Columbia and Transylvania University, I saw the light of real estate and discovered that I could be just as helpful to people as a Realtor as I was as a college administrator. Plus, I never have the same day twice! When I’m not working, I love spending time with my family, writing, reading, travelling, running, hiking and cooking.
