Springtime at Cantigny in Wheaton Il

Cantigny, Wheaton Illinois


Last Sunday my husband and I had the pleasure of taking in our much anticipated Spring season at the gorgeous Cantigny park located on Winfield Road in Wheaton Illinois. 

Last Sunday my husband and I had the pleasure of taking in our much anticipated Spring season at the gorgeous Cantigny park located on Winfield Road in Wheaton Il.  I took many pictures but only chose a few to put on my flickr account because I simply could not get enough photo's of the flowers and feel I've overdone it.  The gardens in this park are beautiful all year round. 

This is a 500 acre park that once belonged to Robert R. McCormick, the Editor and Publisher of the Chicago Tribune.  His story is interesting and while there you may watch a short film of his life and tour his spectacular home that he generously has donated as a museum. 

You may also picnic, have events (there was a wedding going on when we were visited on Sunday), tour the grounds, home, museums, dine and attend the special events they offer all year round.  To come into this park you will only pay $5.00 per vehicle which is a fantastic price for an event filled day.  To get directions or learn more visit their website at Visit Cantigny and be sure to include this in your 'must visit' places of the summer.

 By Jackie Beardsley Staging your home for sale-is it necessary? There are many factors that go into making a decision about whether or not you need to stage your home.  Is it a buyers market or a sellers market?  What is your competition, the comparable properties in your area.  How much staging is necessary, if at all?  These are things that your agent will determine and help you make an informative decision. Not all agents are alike.  Some may believe strongly that it is going to be beneficial to stage your home and will show you the stats to back it up.  The stats are true BUT it can be misleading and the stats used may be irrelevant to your situation. Every home and the sellers situation are unique.  Staging DOES help but that doesn't mean you will have to hire a professional stager and pay thousands of dollars. If we are in a buyers market you will want to lead the market and not be chasing after it, that is how you will lose money.  Mo...
