- 01/28/10 02:06 AM
As a follow-up to our blog yesterday (Cole House Design Stages Million Dollar Mississauga Penthouse), I thought I would share more before and after photos of the three bedroom penthouse from Mississauga Ontario. The property sold for approximately $1.3 million with 15 other listings in the same area still on the market. More before & after photos of the property:
Guest Bedroom/Home Office - Being the smallest of the two guest bedrooms, we opted to change this room into that of a home office. With the installation of a wooden desk, matching armchair, and fake plant, this room went from blah to beautiful. We hung … (6 comments)
home staging mississauga: Million Dollar Mississauga Condo SOLD after Home Staging by Cole House Design
- 01/27/10 02:22 AM
Cole House Design staged an impressive grand penthouse condominium in the latter part of 2009. The condo is located in the trendy Square One area of Mississauga Ontario. It recently sold for approximately $1.3 million with 15 other condos in the same area still on the market. The condo had been purchased by the homeowners as basically an empty shell. They upgraded and installed everything you see in it. With floor to ceiling windows and a sweeping view from Pearson Airport all the way out to Grimsby, it was truly a masterpiece. With most of their furniture from their previous home in storage, the condo needed … (4 comments)
home staging mississauga: Mississauga Linen Closet gets a Cole House Design Makeover
- 09/01/09 09:35 AM
Cole House Design was hired this summer by a client in Mississauga Ontario who needed some redesign assistance in her home. One of the areas we tackled was a linen closet in the upstairs hallway, which needed to be completely reorganized. The homeowner also wanted the dirty clothes hamper, which had been sitting in the middle of the hall for passerby's to see, moved permanently to the base of the linen closet.
First Cole House Design removed the bottom wire shelf which was actually broken and hanging haphazardly. We purchased a new 3 section laundry hamper so the family could easily open the … (5 comments)
home staging mississauga: Coat Closet Clean-Up by Cole House Design
- 03/05/09 06:01 AM
Cole House Design has staged numerous homes in the Halton and Peel regions of Ontario as of late. And many of those home owners have asked us the same probing question - "do I really have to stage my closets too?". Now most of these clients had closets bulging at the seams, and they were all a little concerned about what we would uncover. But the answer is always the same, "YES". Now I am no Martha Stewart, and I will admit that I have never staged a coat closet quite to the degree she has below (even though the photo is inspiring). But potential home buyers WILL … (5 comments)
home staging mississauga: Cole House Design Transforms a Georgetown Kitchen from Dumpy to Funky!
- 02/18/09 06:06 AM
Cole House Design has staged and redesigned many a kitchen since we started our home staging and interior decorating firm. I was emailed this week actually about one kitchen transformation that is currently on the portfolio page of our website. The lady had to know what colour the walls were, as she had a similar kitchen and wanted to repaint. I looked at the photo and realized that I had never even mentioned it on my blog, and it is likely one of our favourite kitchen transformations (oops)! This kitchen had natural maple cabinetry, and the laminate countertops were black with a grey and brown fleck. The tile floor … (5 comments)
home staging mississauga: The Confusion Around What Home Staging Really Is & An Article that Proves It
- 02/17/09 11:17 AM
Cole House Design recently came across a supposed home staging blog on http://www.realestateblooms.com/. At first I thought it was another article on the benefits of home staging, however as I read on, it started to get a little strange. I am assuming the article was NOT written by an actual home stager.
Here are a few excerpts from the article. Note that I have not altered the wording or the spelling mistakes for that matter (LOL). Read on to see if you find it odd as well!
"Here are some excellent tips for staging your home: Remove all the clutters. Sell the old … (6 comments)
home staging mississauga: Cole House Design Asks "Do You Offer a Guarantee" on your Home Staging Work?
- 02/11/09 05:50 AM
Cole House Design, a home staging and interior redesign company located in Georgetown, Ontario, recently received a promo for a Feng Shui company who also does home staging. Near the end of the email I was surprised to see they offer a "guarantee" on their work. Here's a portion of the email: "Applying the principles of Feng Shui to sell your home will increase your selling price and reduce the time your home stays on the market. When the Feng Shui is done correctly, your home will sell within 30 days of its listing, guaranteed." I will be honest, Cole House Design … (28 comments)

Our favourite home staging transformation of 2008 was a family room in a home staged to sell in the prestigious area of Credit Mills, in Mississauga, Ontario.

It was crammed with baby apparatus, toys, stuffed animals, baby gifts, and all kinds of "stuff". You would … (3 comments)
home staging mississauga: A Lesson to be Learned - Stage Your Home FIRST with Cole House Design
- 01/07/09 05:52 AM
This past summer a neighbour of our's here at Cole House Design, put his house on the market. He made FOUR major mistakes in listing his home. First, he waited till the last week of June to list, when the real estate market typically goes dead for the summer months. Second, he had done all of the renovations on his home based on he and his wife living there alone (with no children). However, his house was located in a very family friendly neighbourhood. For example, he had completely decked his entire backyard, so there was no area for children to run and play. Third, … (0 comments)

home staging mississauga: Cole House Design Stages A Cluttered Desk Into a Child's Craft Corner with Great Appeal
- 09/06/08 07:00 AM
Cole House Design, a home staging firm located in Georgetown, Ontario recently staged a home west of Toronto, where our client had placed a sewing area for herself, in her sons' basement toyroom. Although the placement of the desk in the room was fine, it was disorganized and cluttered, and did not really suit the real function of the room. Cole House Design moved the sewing machine and sewing supplies into the neighbouring laundry room, and instead turned the desk into a child's art area complete with craft supplies, paper, and bulletin board. For little more than 20 minutes of our time switching things around, the art desk was a … (7 comments)

- 06/19/08 04:52 AM
Cole House Design, an interior decorating and home staging firm serving Georgetown, Mississauga, Brampton, Milton and area, recently finished the complete redesign of a Mississauga boy's bedroom based upon the Disney movie "CARS". What a fun project to work on! And the look on the boy's face when he saw his new bedroom...made it all worthwhile! My clients had painted the room a few months prior to hiring Cole House Design. They took the poor advice of someone at their local W@lm@rt paint section - and put semi-gloss on the walls. They then left the paint to dry for a couple of weeks before they … (2 comments)

Cole House Design, a home staging and interior decorating firm serving the Halton and Peel Regions, recently finished the home staging of a 5000 sq. ft. house in the prestigious area of Mississauga, Ontario called Credit Mills. With only a week before showings, Cole House Design worked with the paint colours already in the house, as most were quite neutral. The home was somewhat furnished, but a lot of the furniture was oversized and too big for the rooms it was placed in. Cole House Design rearranged almost all of the furniture to create better traffic flow and sight lines. The furniture that … (9 comments)
