Comin’Up Roses Blog

Our job at GreenRose Enterprises is to rehab properties, but our passion is in design. We have a real appreciation for how design enhances our lives on a day to day basis. We are more than just a new coat of paint and some refinished floors. Our goal with each rehab that we undertake is to make living spaces affordable and beautiful with modern amenities. Our blog is meant to give information and inspiration for sellers, buyers and regular homeowners who are looking for answers on how to have better design in their home. Come visit us frequently and let us know what you think!
