Anyone who follows her Instagram account knows that Jessica is all things chic, cool, and trend-setting.

Meet the Bordners
Jessica Bordner exudes all things "charm" and her home is no different. It is impossible not to immediately feel at ease with Jessica, whether she is photographing the biggest day of your life or inviting you into her adorable home.
MLRE had the opportunity to chat with Jessica about life, love, and design. "My husband, Michael and I have been married for just over 6 years. We share a passion for traveling, architecture, and food. When we met, Michael was a K9 handler in the Navy and living in Japan. I visited him a few times per year while I balanced my career as a photographer back home. He is now a firefighter in Palm Beach County and we live in our dream home in Tequesta, Florida with our fur child, Avery Jade."
““I absolutely love how the design elements in Jessica’s home seem so effortless. It is difficult to achieve that mid century minimalist look without over doing it. Jessica nailed it.””

1. What inspired your home decor?
"We get a lot of our home inspiration from Palm Springs, California - nature inspired mid-century vibes, cozy feels, and raw material accents."
Jessica's home has the perfect balance of rich textiles, bold pieces, and nature-inspired accents. It is so vibey and we just absolutely love it; the wood, the wicker, and the natural greenery placed perfectly next to eye-catching metallic statement pieces, sunburst mirrors, vivid patterns and clean lines.
Jessica pairs modern and whimsical and proves that earth tones never go out of style.
2. What is your favorite space in your home?
"I think my favorite room has to be our outdoor living space. It was one of the features of the home that we fell in love with first. We love to host parties and utilize the outdoors during most of the year here in Florida. We would much rather dine al fresco when we can."
[To save you a trip to the google machine (don't worry, we didn't know either) -- "Al Fresco" is a phrase borrowed from Italian for "in the cool air" or "to dine outside". Jessica is such a cultural attache, we can't even.]
“We love to host parties and utilize the outdoors throughout the year here in Florida. We would much rather dine al fresco when we can.”
3. What's your favorite piece in your home?
"Hard Choice!!!! We love our wooden dresser in the guest room. The pop of white mixed with that mid century raw wood look works for that space and I love it. I also love the farm table on our patio that my husband actually built himself."
4. And where did you get it so we can copy you?
I got the dresser at West Elm! The farm table is courtesy of Michael.

How to Optimize Your Open House
Written by Cindy Aldridge
You’ve selected a real estate agent, landed on a list price, and edited the flyer that highlights all the perks of your property, illustrating each amenity with the perfect picture. But now it’s time to schedule the open house, where potential buyers will try to uncover all your home’s structural skeletons in the closet and examine every corner of that closet space while they’re at it.
However, there are ways to prepare for an open house that will wow visitors without leaving you too tired to leave the sofa during showings. Here are a few tips to try.
The National Association of Realtors 2017 Profile of Home Staging survey found that 62 percent of sellers’ agents polled said staging a home reduced the number of days a property spent on the market. The majority of buyers’ and sellers’ agents said staging raised the bar for offers.
Cull Clutter
The first step of staging should be clearing clutter and cleaning. In fact, 93 percent of professionals polled in the NAR survey recommended decluttering. So now is the time to tackle the areas that weren’t featured on the flyer. Excavate storage spaces completely and donate or sell any unused items. Also, consider renting an off-site storage unit to stash everything you don’t use regularly. This will maximize the appearance of spaciousness for the storage in your home, which is a huge selling point for potential buyers.
Deep Clean
Most real estate agents polled in the NAR survey also advised a deep cleaning, with 89 percent recommending a whole-home cleaning and 81 percent pushing for carpet cleaning. That’s no surprise considering a strong odor in the home is one of the top reasons potential buyers pass on a property.
Getting rid of pet-related smells and other obnoxious odors is paramount. And while spot cleaning and enzyme-based odor removers may work well enough on a day-to-day basis, your goal for an open house is to erase any evidence of pets, including lingering smells and suspicious spots.
Given that, if your home has carpet, it’s probably worth calling a professional cleaning company that uses the hot water extraction method, complete with truck-mounted units, to treat carpets to a deep-down cleaning. If pet odors are a problem, you should also let the carpet cleaners know your primary goal is eliminating them since they utilize special products and procedures.
And, even if you don’t have carpet, consider hiring help to give your whole home a deep cleaning before an open house. Professionals have special tools to remove built-up dirt and discover dens of dust bunnies you might have miss. Giving everything a thorough cleaning will also help erase odors from cooking or smoking.
Consider Cosmetics
Although it’s probably too late to undertake any extensive renovations before your open house, you should make minor repairs to fix things that will distract buyers from your home’s finer features. You may have been living with a cracked window or torn screen for years, but buyers probably won’t be willing to do the same.
Also, consider some quick cosmetic changes. A fresh coat of paint in a neutral color will help everything look cleaner and brighter. And replacing dim bulbs and dingy switch-plates and outlet covers can give rooms an inexpensive makeover. Outside, give landscaping a lift by trimming back overgrown plants, clearing flower beds, putting in some eye-catching annuals, and spreading a new layer of mulch.
Implementing these tips will take some time and money, but the investment will be worthwhile if it helps make your first open house your only one.
