3 Smart Tips to Make the Most of an Estate Sale

And Why Wuthering Hills Neighborhood in Janesville is the Perfect Place to Explore One

Whether you're a seasoned treasure hunter or simply love a good weekend find, estate sales offer a unique glimpse into a home's history—and often, the chance to score one-of-a-kind items at great prices. But beyond the thrill of the hunt, estate sales can also offer unexpected insights into a home, a neighborhood, and even your own design style.

And at Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate Dream Partners, we’re being creative with our client: we're combining the experience of an estate sale with a home tour you won’t want to miss.

But first, here are our top 3 tips for getting the most out of your next estate sale:

1. Go Early (and Go Late)

The early bird gets the best selection. If you're hunting for something specific—like furniture, vintage décor, or art—arriving at opening time gives you the best chance of finding it. But don't underestimate the end of the last day either. Many families are open to negotiation as the sale winds down, especially on larger items.

2. Have a Plan—but Stay Open to Surprises

Make a list of items you’re looking for (lighting, hardware, rugs, etc.), but be open to unexpected inspiration. Estate sales are often filled with unique character pieces, and what you find might be just what your home—or a future listing—needs.

3. Pay Attention to the Home, Not Just the Items

Example picture of Estate or Garage Sale

Estate sales give you a raw, lived-in view of a property. Take note of the layout, how sunlight moves through the rooms, and architectural features you may not notice in a staged listing. If you're a buyer, this is a valuable bonus. If you're just here for the sale? It's still a great way to get design inspiration.

Why Wuthering Hills Is a Great Location

Located on Janesville’s desirable east side, Wuthering Hills is one of the area’s very welcoming and sought-after neighborhoods. Tree-lined streets, established homes, and a true neighborhood feel make it a favorite for families and long-time residents alike.

One of the neighborhood’s biggest perks is its proximity to Kennedy Elementary School, making it a great location for those who value highly-rated schools and community convenience. But what really sets Wuthering Hills apart is its access to nature and recreation.

Just steps away, you’ll find access to Janesville’s expansive trail system, offering more than 30 miles of connected paved and natural-surface paths. Whether you're walking the dog, pushing a stroller, biking, or enjoying a morning jog, you'll love the nearby trails that connect to Palmer Park, Rotary Botanical Gardens, and even segments of the state-recognized Ice Age Trail. These trails are open year-round and offer everything from peaceful strolls to wooded bluff hikes and riverfront scenery.

With multiple parks, scenic views, and green space woven into the neighborhood, Wuthering Hills supports an active lifestyle and a sense of calm that’s hard to find elsewhere.

If you’re visiting for the estate sale, be sure to take a moment to soak in what it might feel like to live here. It’s not just about the house—it’s about the neighborhood and the lifestyle that comes with it.

Dual Estate Sale + Open House—July 11 & 12

This Friday and Saturday from 8am–5pm, stop by our Fieldcrest Drive property in Wuthering Hills for a one-of-a-kind event:

Avoid These 4 Drapery Mistakes for a Polished, Custom Look

At Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate Dream Partners and our partner companies, Budget Blinds of Janesville & Monroe, and MDR Design Co., we live and breathe All Things Home. From selling homes to designing them, we believe every detail matters—right down to your drapery.

While often considered an afterthought, drapery is one of the most impactful elements of home décor. It sets the tone for a room, brings warmth and texture, and serves key functions like light control and privacy. But even the most beautiful fabric can fall flat if not hung correctly. Inspired by our friends at Better Homes & Gardens magazine, we’re sharing four of the most common drapery-hanging mistakes—and how to fix them.

Mistake #1: Choosing Drapery That’s Too Narrow

It’s easy to overlook width, especially when drapes are usually open. But skimpy panels can make a space look unfinished. According to Better Homes & Gardens, “Curtains that are proportional to the width of the window will look more voluminous in the space.”

✅ Our Advice: Always measure first. Your panels should be at least twice the width of your window. For extra fullness, aim for 2.5 times the width. Don’t worry—we do specialize in custom drapery at Budget Blinds, so you can skip the guesswork and get a tailored look every time.

Mistake #2: Drapery That's Too Short (or Too Long)

Budget Blinds Vadain Drapery

Nothing says “off-the-shelf” like curtains that awkwardly hover above the floor—or worse, puddle like laundry. The right length enhances ceiling height and creates a polished finish.

✅ Our Advice: Measure from the floor to where your rod will be mounted, and choose a length that just grazes the floor. And yes, we offer custom lengths to get that perfect fit.

Mistake #3: Hanging the Rod Too Low or Too Narrow

Where you hang your rod matters. Mount it too low, and your room looks short. Too close to the window width? The panels won’t frame your windows properly when opened.

✅ Pro Tip from our friends at BHG: “Mount your curtain rod a few inches higher than your window… and choose a rod 8 to 12 inches wider than your window.” That’s the trick designers use to make spaces feel taller and more open.

Mistake #4: Choosing Form Over Function

Yes, we love a beautifully patterned linen or a dramatic velvet panel—but drapery should work for your space too. Are you looking to block out morning sun in a bedroom? Or let filtered light in while keeping privacy?

✅ Our Advice: Don’t compromise. We often recommend layering—sheers for daytime softness, blackouts for sleeping hours—on double rods. We can help you select the perfect fabric and configuration for your lifestyle.

The MDR House: Real Estate and Lifestyle by Design

Drapery, Done Right—The Custom Way

With Budget Blinds and our design team at MDR Design Co., you don’t need to settle for one-size-fits-all window treatments. Our custom drapery services combine style, fit, and function to bring your windows—and your rooms—to life.

Whether you’re staging your home to sell, settling into a new space, or simply upgrading your surroundings, our All Things Home model ensures you have expert guidance every step of the way.

Best Paint Color for a bathroom

The Best Bathroom Paint Color? Experts (and We) Agree: Soft Blue Is Here to Stay

When it comes to updating your primary ensuite or guest bathroom, one design decision makes a big impact: the wall color. But in Southern Wisconsin—where homes range from charming lakefront cottages to modern builds and historic farmhouses—you don’t want to repaint every few years just to keep up with trends. You want timeless. You want soothing. You want something that will still feel fresh five years from now.

According to an article from our trusted partner Better Homes and Gardens, there's one color professionals consistently choose for bathrooms, and we couldn’t agree more. The verdict? Soft blue.

“It’s a timeless bathroom wall color because it evokes a sense of calm, cleanliness, and spa-like serenity,” says Erika Woelfel, BEHR’s VP of color and creative services.

Why Soft Blue Works in Southern Wisconsin Bathrooms

Here at BHGRE Dream Partners and MDR Design Co., we’ve used soft blue in other (and our own!) primary ensuites, and we understand why this hue works so well in our local homes:

1. Creates a Spa-Like Retreat

Life moves fast. Whether you're starting your day or winding down in the evening, your bathroom should feel like a retreat. Soft blue tones like Upward by Sherwin-Williams creates an airy, peaceful atmosphere that feels luxurious yet livable.

2. Feels Timeless—Not Trendy

While bold color moments come and go, soft blue endures. “Blue is the most popular paint color family after neutrals,” notes Glidden’s Ashley McCollum. The right shade of soft blue acts as a neutral itself: clean, calming, and endlessly stylish.

In design work, we love pairing it with crisp whites, matte black accents, or brushed brass fixtures for a balanced look that works with any style, from farmhouse to contemporary.

3. Makes Small Bathrooms Feel Larger

Many Southern Wisconsin homes have compact bathrooms, especially in older or historic properties. A light-reflecting soft blue on the walls can visually open up the space, making it feel brighter and more spacious.

4. Gives You Flexibility in Decor

A shade like BEHR’s Etched Glass is soft enough to let your personality shine through in towels, art, plants, and accessories. Whether you swap in seasonal décor or want to change up your style later, you won’t need to repaint to keep things cohesive.

“You can easily change the vibe without needing a full makeover,” says McCollum.

Ready for a Refresh?

Whether you're remodeling a primary ensuite or staging your home to sell, our design partners at MDR Design Co. are here to help you choose timeless finishes that elevate your space (and your home's value!). We offer expert color consultation, design planning, and full bathroom updates.

Let’s transform your bathroom into the relaxing, modern retreat you deserve.

Proudly serving Southern Wisconsin

If you’re dreaming of a peaceful retreat with easy access to one of Wisconsin’s most beloved lakes, Williams Bay might just be the perfect place for you. Nestled just minutes from the vibrant city of Lake Geneva, Williams Bay offers the perfect blend of small-town charm, natural beauty, and recreational opportunities that make it a coveted destination for homeowners and vacationers alike.

Imagine spending your days boating or fishing on crystal-clear waters and enjoying lakeside dining and boutique shopping—all just a short stroll or drive away. The community here is tight-knit and welcoming, with events and activities that bring neighbors together throughout the year.

A great way to experience the local flavor of Williams Bay is to stop by The Green Bean. We recently visited this cozy café and can’t say enough about its warm, inviting atmosphere and fantastic locally roasted coffee. It’s the perfect spot to grab your morning brew, catch up with friends, or even enjoy a quiet moment with a book. Plus, their homemade pastries are a real treat—a true hidden gem in the heart of the community.

For dining out or a fun evening, nearby Lake Geneva offers a variety of options—from casual lakeside eateries to spots with stunning views. One popular place is Oak & Oar, located at The Geneva Inn, which replaced the former Grandview Restaurant. Oak & Oar serves Wisconsin-inspired dishes and cocktails with beautiful lake views, making it a great spot to unwind. Meanwhile, in Williams Bay, Harpoon Willies is a local favorite across the street from Geneva Lake that provides a welcoming, family-friendly atmosphere with great views —a perfect laid-back atmosphere.

We’re excited to soon share a new listing in Williams Bay that offers easy access to Geneva Lake just down the hill—perfect for those who want peaceful living with the option to quickly enjoy lakeside fun.

The property also benefits from a well-managed Homeowners Association (HOA), helping to maintain the community’s charm and appeal. Whether you’re seeking a year-round home or a quiet getaway, this listing offers a great blend of convenience, community, and access to everything Williams Bay and Lake Geneva have to offer.

Stay tuned for a full tour and all the details on this incredible listing. If lakeside living is on your radar, you won’t want to miss this opportunity.

If you’ve been flipping through design magazines or scrolling home inspiration pages lately, you’ve likely seen the rise of the kitchen banquette. These cozy, space-savvy seating solutions are making a major comeback—and for good reason. At Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate Dream Partners, we love spotting trends that not only add style but bring more livability to a home. And with the design insight from our team at MDR Design Co., we know a good banquette can transform a kitchen into the heart of the home.

Here are three reasons why banquettes are trending—and why they might just be the missing piece in your dream home.


1. They Maximize Small Spaces

Whether you’re working with a compact kitchen or simply want to make the most of an unused corner, banquettes can be a game-changer. By tucking seating along a wall or in a nook, you free up floor space and create a cozy, café-style experience that’s perfect for morning coffee, kids’ homework time, or casual meals.

In real estate, smart use of space adds perceived value. When buyers see that a home offers clever, custom solutions, it leaves a lasting impression.


2. They Offer Hidden (and Beautiful) Storage

Built-in banquettes can be designed with lift-up seats or drawers—providing extra storage for everything from seasonal tableware to board games. Even freestanding options can incorporate smart storage solutions.

At The MDR House, where design and function go hand-in-hand, we see multi-purpose features like this as a smart solution more homeowners will be looking for. It’s all about blending everyday living with style and intention.


3. They Create a Sense of Connection

There’s something about banquette seating that invites people to linger. Maybe it’s the comfortable cushions, maybe it’s the tucked-away setting—but either way, it creates a warm and intimate atmosphere. In open-concept layouts, banquettes can also help define space while keeping that open flow.

For buyers walking through a home, a well-styled banquette can instantly signal: this is where memories happen—Sunday pancakes, birthday breakfasts, or just a quiet evening tea.


Want to Add a Banquette—or Buy a Home That Already Has One?

At Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate Dream Partners, we don’t just help you find a house—we help you dream up the life you want to live there. And with our Interior Design partners at MDR Design Co., we can help you bring those dreams to life, from smart kitchen updates to full-room transformations.

Whether you’re looking for your next home or ready to redesign the one you’re in, our team is here to guide you every step of the way. That’s what we mean by All Things Home.

Let's Talk Blog, real estate in Wisconsin

With warmer weather right around the corner, all many of us want to do is float in a cool, sparkling pool on a sunny day—without a care in the world. But then reality sets in: not everyone has a pool in the backyard. That’s probably why the demand for outdoor inground pools is actually on the rise in Wisconsin.

If you're considering adding a pool to your home, it’s important to know where to start—especially in a state like Wisconsin, where climate and regulations play a major role in planning.


Regulations & Requirements in Wisconsin

Installing a pool isn’t just about design choices and landscaping. Wisconsin has specific rules and safety requirements that every homeowner needs to follow:

Setback Requirements
Setback rules vary by city and county, and they determine how close a pool can be to property lines, homes, and septic systems. Be sure to check local ordinances or consult with a professional before finalizing pool placement.

Fencing & Pool Covers
Wisconsin law requires that all inground pools be surrounded by a fence at least 4 feet tall to ensure safety—especially for children and pets. In some cases, a pool cover may also be required unless the fencing meets all legal standards. Even when not required, pool covers are a smart investment to keep the water clean and secure when the pool isn’t in use.


Types of Inground Pools

Once local guidelines are understood, the next step is choosing the type of pool. Each option has unique benefits, drawbacks, and cost considerations:

Vinyl Liner Pools
Popular in the Northeast and Midwest, vinyl liner pools are known for their affordability and flexibility. They can be customized into nearly any shape or size and typically include steel or cement walls. However, the liners may eventually corrode or oxidize over time. These pools perform best in soil that retains water well.

Fiberglass Pools
Fiberglass pools are pre-formed and installed quickly, which makes them a convenient choice. They require less maintenance over time, but they offer fewer options when it comes to size and shape.

Concrete (Gunite/Shotcrete) Pools
Concrete pools offer unlimited customization in terms of shape, size, and finish. They tend to be the most expensive option due to higher material and labor costs but can provide a luxury look with finishes like plaster, quartz, pebble, or even glass beads.


Cost Comparison

According to Seasonal World and Pool Pros Wisconsin, here’s a general breakdown of typical pool costs:

  • Vinyl Liner Pools: $35,000 – $65,000
  • Fiberglass Pools: $50,000 – $100,000
  • Concrete Pools: $45,000 – $95,000+ (based on custom features)

In general:

  • Vinyl liner pools are the most economical.
  • Fiberglass pools fall in the mid-range.
  • Concrete pools are the most customizable—and often the most expensive.

Final Thoughts

Wisconsin summers might be short, but a backyard pool can make them unforgettable. Whether it’s for entertaining, relaxing, or simply cooling off, adding a pool is a big decision that starts with research and planning. Make sure to consider local regulations, your property’s layout, and the type of pool that fits your lifestyle and budget best.

With the right guidance and a bit of patience, that dream pool could soon be a reality.

How to Find Your Dream Home in Madison, WI: A Quick Guide

Are you searching for your family’s dream home in Madison, Wisconsin? Finding the perfect property for your family can be a challenge, especially in a competitive market. But with the right guidance and a strategic approach, you can make your search easier and more efficient. Here's how to confidently find the home that fits your needs in Madison.

1. Partner with a Local Real Estate Expert

The first step in finding your dream home is hiring a professional real estate agent who knows the area. A local Southern Wisconsin agent has access to a wide variety of properties—some of which may not even be listed publicly yet—and can help you navigate the competitive market with ease.

But it’s not just about finding the right house. A great Realtor will provide valuable insights into the neighborhoods surrounding the homes you're considering. Madison is known for its vibrant, diverse neighborhoods, each offering something unique. Whether you're drawn to the historical charm of the Capitol Square, the family-friendly atmosphere of Verona, or the suburban feel of Middleton, a knowledgeable and resourceful Realtor will help you find the right fit for your family.

While our office is based in Janesville, our team of Realtors comes from various counties throughout Southern Wisconsin, including Dane County. This diverse experience gives us the unique advantage of understanding the local neighborhoods, schools, and amenities across Madison and the surrounding areas. Understanding these factors ensures that the house you love is located in a neighborhood your family will enjoy for years to come.

2. Know Your Home and Location Preferences

Before diving into home listings, it’s essential to be clear about what you’re looking for in a property. How many bedrooms do you need? Is having a large backyard important for your family? Do you prefer a newer build or a historic home with character?

Equally important is understanding what you want from the surrounding area. Madison offers a wide variety of neighborhoods, each with its own character. Some families prioritize proximity to downtown, while others might prefer the quiet of the outskirts. By working closely with your agent, you’ll avoid wasting time on homes in neighborhoods that don’t align with your needs.

Having a clear idea of your must-haves and deal-breakers—whether it's top-rated schools, a walkable neighborhood, or access to public transportation—will help you make more informed decisions.

3. Take Your Time to Make an Informed Decision

Buying your first home—or your dream home—should never be rushed. It's a significant investment, and you want to ensure you're making the right decision for your family’s future. Madison’s real estate market can be fast-paced, but it’s important to take the time to truly evaluate your options.

Your realtor will help you by narrowing down your choices based on your preferences and needs. Once you’ve identified a few homes that might be a good fit, schedule visits to get a firsthand feel for the properties. You can also ask your realtor for details about recent market trends in Madison to ensure you’re making a smart financial decision.

Don’t let the pressure of a hot market force you into a hasty choice. Give yourself the time you need to find the perfect balance between location, budget, and long-term potential. After all, this is a place where your family will build memories for years to come.
