How to update a mirror frame to a more transitional look. Do you have a mirror that you wish had a different look? Maybe you saw a brand new one with a different finish you long for and now it's begging you to buy it!
Before you shell out the $$$ on the new mirror try this project! It's easy and you can change & layer any of the finishes to suit your styling needs. In the example below I didn't want to get rid of the gold entirely because I wanted the look of mixed metals, so I let a … (75 comments)

redesigned spaces: Is Your Pie Hole Keeping You From Landing The Job? - 02/23/10 07:28 PM
While on styling and redesign jobs I’ve found it’s best to first keep my pie hole shut and let the client describe what they want from me. It can be hard trying to keep my personal style preferences from spewing out of my mouth. What, what, what you say??? Isn’t that what I’m supposed to be doing, telling the client what styling selections they need to make their home oh so fabulous?
Let me explain, this post is about the client's preferences for a certain style and me helping them achieve this look for dwelling not staging to sell. Yes, … (49 comments)

redesigned spaces: Using your creative abilities to expand your business & client base (photos) - 01/11/10 12:08 PM
In conducting business with my clients and associates I let them know I have the ability to help them beyond room redesign & preparing their home for sale as a stager/property stylist. While they may not need one of the extra services I provide at that moment, I’ve planted the seed and when the time comes hopefully they will keep me in mind or refer me to friends and family.
The advantage is that they already know me I’ve been in their home between 2 and 6 hours and in that time I’ve started to develop a relationship. I seem to … (33 comments)

redesigned spaces: How a Home Remodeler enhanced their portfolio with Staging - 07/21/09 01:35 PM
I was contacted by Bill Weidmann of Atlanta's award winning Weidmann Remodeling & Renovation to inquire about staging some 'after' photos for their portfolio.
While quality materials and superb craftsmanship are the bones of a room, it's the finishing details that give it a warm & fuzzy feeling in person and in photos.
I was thrilled to say the least because I was well aware of this company's solid reputation. Then to be working with professional photographer Jan Stittleburg (located in Atlanta) was the icing on the cake. Ooh... I'd hope to sneak-a-peek through her lens, think she'll … (25 comments)

redesigned spaces: I exposed myself to a new crowd...and there's photos to prove it! - 06/17/09 01:25 PM
No, not that way silly...
When my friend Sharon Norris owner of Synergy in Silk Floral Designs told me she was going to do a 'Lunch & Learn' seminar about tablescapes I begged asked her if she wanted any help. She was gracious enough to let me help and I was thrilled because I love creating tablescapes!
Well to tell you the truth my friend is always helping me to expand my SOI (sphere of influence) and I'm grateful to her for helping me to expose myself to more potential clients.
The luncheon event was held at the lovely 1818 Club located atop the Gwinnett Chamber of Commerce building. After the … (42 comments)

redesigned spaces: Dang it! Are you or your client hesitant about removing family photos lining the walls? - 04/26/09 02:44 PM
It's usually because they don't want to go through the trouble of patching then repainting the holes. It's a necessary pain in the bum that needs to be done. The rewards by completing the task will outway the inconvenience twofold, heck maybe even a billonfold. Is that even a word? I'm going with it anyway even though the spellchecker disagrees.
Here is an idea for the homeowner who doesn't want to go through the trouble nixes the idea to remove the family photo wall. I recommend removing the photo, then add a swatch of textured fabric that coordinates with the area.
I needed to tweek her idea because of the … (48 comments)

Do You Have An Old Chair That Needs A Little Spruce Up Or Some TLC?
Well thanks to my fellow stagers for inspiring me to tackle this project I now have a new chair for my room. I now can share how easy this for my clients too! So thank you Ginger Foust, Sharon Tara & other creative stagers that so generously share your ideas here.
This was pretty easy so if you have an old chair or maybe a frame of a chair give it a go! I had two identical chairs but only one had a seat that was kaput.
Good Chair Kaput Chair
Well when I undid the … (47 comments)

Need a centerpiece pronto and don't have design experience? Just go to the local craft store and pick up the following;
1- Terra cotta saucer, the one in the picture is about 11 inches.
