Geek Chic -- Realtor Version

Color-Coordinated Post-it Notes

Yeah, I know it's geeky to walk around with pens and Post-it notes in my shirt breast pocket.

But realistically, that's the only way to keep track of details while talking to clients on the fly (and keeping notes for the stray blog post) all day.

To minimize the "geek factor," I make a point of making sure my Post-it notes are color-coordinated.

So, today, my Post-it's are blue, to go with my blue, button-down shirt.

Kid-Friendly Kitchen Cabinets: Makings of a Trend?

Cabinets cum Chalkboards

I'm not prepared to pronounce it a trend after seeing it in exactly one house (in Edina's South Harriet Park neighborhood), but it was eye-grabbing: kitchen cabinets that double as chalkboards.

Great for kids -- and parents who are always looking for Post-it notes!
