Signing Off (Just for a Bit)

Posted on March 21, 2012 by Sheila Salvitti

Hi friends! It’s been a little quiet on the blog front lately. I know, I know. I haven’t been giving you your pretty house fix as often as I used to. But I have a really good excuse – I swear.

Me and this handsome guy are going to have a baby any day now!

(Spot the bookcase in the background from this post? That’s the baby’s room! Post-projects and pre-decorating, of course.)

I promise when I return to give you the best interiors, prettiest houses, and latest and greatest in local listings and real estate news. But for now, I’ll leave you with this stunner

and a silly (but so true!) little cartoon.

Just because I’m having a baby, doesn’t mean I can’t help you. If you’re thinking about buying or selling a house, send me an email at this address (sheila@cbpremierproperties.com), and we’ll get you connected with someone completely fabulous.

Lower Your Gas Bill with Mobile Apps

Posted on February 23, 2012 by Sheila Salvitti

It’s that time of year again. Tax time.

I don’t know about you, but when I add up all the money I spent on gas at the end of the year, it makes me crazy. (And if current prices are any indication, this year is going to be so much worse).

I practically live in my car, so for 2012, I resolve to use these awesome apps to help me lower my gas bill:

Gas Buddy (free on BlackBerry, iPhone, and Android)

via gasbuddy.com

Fuel Finder ($2.99 for iPhone only – says it will save you over $300/year)

via apple.com

AAA’s TripTik Mobile (free for iPhone and Android)

via android.com

Now, if only they made an app to lower my J.Crew bill…

Pretty House of the Week

Posted on February 17, 2012 by Sheila Salvitti

It’s been a strange winter.

I’ve never really minded snow – maybe it’s the collegiate New Englander in me. But since we’ve had so little this year it seems like a huge inconvenience now, doesn’t it?

At least we can all admire this snow-covered beauty. This house has to be in New England. Maybe on the Cape?

I would buy it in a second. Too bad it’s not for sale like last week’s pretty house.

Pretty House of the Week

Posted on February 10, 2012 by Sheila Salvitti

For the first time (I think ever?), this week’s pretty house is FOR SALE!

514 Monticello Lane, Plymouth Meeting, PA 19462

I could literally write a book on how fabulous this house is – from its 6,900 sq.ft.(!) of living space to its wooded views and perfectly manicured landscaping. (Aren’t you just dying over those hedges leading to the front door?)

We’re on the market for $1,390,000 and will have an OPEN HOUSE next Sunday, February 19 from 12-2PM.

If you or someone you know is hunting for an estate home in Whitemarsh Township – in one of the area’s most prestigious neighborhoods that never, I mean never, has anything for sale – stop by for a tour. You will fall in love with this house.

30

Posted on February 8, 2012 by Sheila Salvitti

Wow! 30 years old.

source unknown

Feels completely different and exactly the same all at once.

It will probably hit me the first time someone asks at random, “How old are you?” and I have to pause for a split second to remember my age doesn’t start with twenty-something anymore.

Love to all my family and friends for making me feel so special.
