Stripping -- Home Stager Style - 09/27/10 11:51 AM
Professional Home Stagers get a work out nearly every day stripping.
This work is not for those looking for an easy job. It can mean long hours and lots of hard, demanding work.
Come with me and see what we do!
We strip away dirt - and make sure home sellers have their homes sparkling.
From the front gutter's mildew to the caulking around the tub -- if your home is for sale this is the cheapest thing you can do to create a great impression on home buyers!
Need something cleaned? We know experienced professionals … (20 comments)

Want a Great First Impression? Give Your Sofa some VaVoom! - 09/26/10 10:56 AM
At our warehouse, we have a wall of pillows — sorted usually by color and crammed into our racking by our skilled associate, Judy Klassen. Judy is organizer extraordinnaire and I would post a photo, but I made a mess of them yesterday pulling inventory for a job and she would not be happy to have you see it!
But back to my point! I LOVE pillows and the magic they bring to your couch! Since we have a WALL of them in every color imaginable, I should limit myself from buying any more – but I just couldn’t resist these … (14 comments)

Make it Easy to Paint Over Bold Colors - 09/24/10 11:32 AM
Dear Creative Concepts:
Is it worth the money to buy "high hiding" primer or just do an extra coat or paint when painting over bold colors?
Sincerely,
Dreading to Paint
Dear Dreading:
I totally understand how you feel! I've hesitated in the past to purchase a "special" primer -- but know that using paint primers can:
reduce surface preparation improve coverage block stains prevent peeling and make topcoating faster! Surfaces that are properly primed will attain the truest paint color in fewer coats.
Hmmm -- but is it REALLY worth the $$? (I hate wasting time, but really hate wasting … (12 comments)

Is Your Listing A Drama Queen? It Should Be! - 09/17/10 12:46 PM
When selling your home in 2010, you need more than a good price and location. You also need a home that is memorable, stands out and that buyers will fall in love with!
As home stagers, we think adding a bit of drama can be a great thing!
Here's a glimpse of two houses we did this week in Corvallis Oregon. Both had been on the market for a while - getting comments that they were "dated".
This master doesn't have much appeal . . . No one will ever think this room looks dated! Some buyers may wonder how to … (10 comments)

Who Knows Home Staging Works? Oregon Real Estate Agents! - 09/05/10 09:50 AM
The following blog was originally posted by a local real estate agent Catherine Ulrey of Keller Williams. This Salem Oregon home is incredible - beautiful land and views too, but wasn't attracting an offer. We were hired to advise on what could be done to improve showings and the marketability of this property.
This home had beautiful trim work and fabulous view. In the first photo - what's the first thing you see? The valances - not the view! The new look is a lot sleeker and more contemporary.
The kitchen had a custom paint job with ivy above the … (8 comments)
