boulder: Method for Taking Interior Design Photos - 11/07/08 04:17 PM
COPYRIGHT AMBIANCE DESIGN 2007
Now that I'm starting to do more interior design and interior decorating work here in Boulder, I'm in the process of going through my design oriented photos to find the projects I want to include in my interior design portfolio.
I noticed that I didn't really like the 'feel' of all my wide angle shots that I've gotten into the habit of taking for real estate photography. So I started cropping them down to only show the room set, and when I went even closer, to more of a vignette style I was surprised by the … (19 comments)

boulder: On A Roll! Staging SOLD a Longmont Home - 11/05/08 02:44 PM
I gotta tell ya that I'm so pleased with the ROLL we are on! The real estate market here in Boulder County, although admittedly feeling a slowdown, is still holding strong in comparison to the state of Colorado overall... and even to many markets nationwide.
However most people here in Boulder County are taking a 'wait and see' attitude, so volume has gone way down. Hence, most of the clients we are working with are selling because they have to sell, not necessarily because they want to.
So... in this market selling clients on Home Staging is more difficult than ever … (11 comments)

boulder: Realtors: Don't take those MLS photos!!! - 07/20/07 08:33 PM
....until after we've finished staging the property! We just finished staging a home out in Longmont last week for a super sweet couple that is being re-located back to California. They were some of the most organized people I'd met, but they still had the normal 'clutter' that is LIFE!
We met with them for 2 hours initially, then prepared the staging report which contains the recommendations for them to implement in the coming week, and scheduled to come back a week later to spend a 1/2 day staging to complete the finishing touches. We rented them a few items: a … (12 comments)

boulder: Ambiance Staging is Growing! - 04/04/07 12:56 PM
I have recently decided to to take on a business partner to grow my business. Mary Hickling, a Boulder resident, and fellow home stager and I have decided to form a partnership!
My vision is for Ambiance Staging to be a driving force in our community and an industry leader; and I felt that in order to do that Ambiance Staging would need to be a more substantial entity. I didn't want to be just a 'one-man band'.
Also, together we can get so much more accomplished, share the load, and respond to inquiries/needs in a more timely manner.
Mary has always had … (17 comments)

boulder: That's why they are called ACCESSORIES - 11/30/06 09:53 PM
My daughter illustrates my point perfectly. An accessory is:
ac·ces·so·ry ( k-s s -r ) n. pl. ac·ces·so·ries 1. a. A subordinate or supplementary item; an adjunct.b. Something nonessential but desirable that contributes to an effect or result. See Synonyms at appendage.adj. 1. Having a secondary, supplementary, or subordinate function.
The listing I did a bid on today for staging reminded me of one of my pet peeves. I often see vacant listings on the market that the realtor or the home owner has ‘spruced up' with accessories. The wooden watermelon slice on the counter, a few baskets over the fridge, a … (7 comments)

boulder: 6½ Reasons To Stage - 11/01/06 12:33 AM
As per Craig's request on my Listmania blog. Drumroll Please!!! THE TOP 6 ½ REASONS TO STAGE
#1 Staging gives the best first impression to potential buyers. Stagers strive to provide an ambiance that emotionally connects buyers to your home. A good stager will have researched the current trends in the market as well as the buyer demographics in the local area. If your demographic is mid thirties couples with 1.2 children, then that is the target style they will use. However, if your area attracts mainly baby boomers seeking a second home for vacationing a different style is called for. … (13 comments)
