When is the Crash?

Gary Kelley - Thereā€™s a place in Marlborough called Double Tā€™s Tavern. Itā€™s the epitome of the hole-in-the-wall pub. The owner Tom is a friend, and his son TJ (the chef and the other T in Double Tā€™s) bought his house with our help. Double Tā€™s is comfortable and unassuming.

Because of their relatively small size in comparison to the rest of a home, bathrooms are often overlooked in the staging process, but for many buyers, it could be the most important room of all.
