home stager: Shop Savvy: Designer Lookalikes - 05/31/08 04:06 PM
BOne of the Home & Garden shows I enjoy features a "mockover"---a room made to look like a pricey designer makeover. The original can run from $30,000 - $100,000 while their version is often $1,500 to $4,000 (sans production cost of course---they always leave out the labor!).
I thought I'd blog on some ways to recreate designer looks for less. To get the ball rolling, this post will include some stylish goods from popular retailers with an inspiration piece and a purse-friendly find.

I'm lovin' jet black chandeliers. The angles of this piece are … (32 comments)

home stager: Got Tips? Help Me Host a Yard Sale! - 05/15/08 10:29 PM
Okay Stagers and other Savvy Rainers, I need your help! I'm holding a YARD SALE for my mother and need some advice.
First, the yard sale won't be at her house (she just had 45K in landscaping and bargain hunters traipsing through wouldn't be great---plus, it's super private and hard to find). The only feasible spot is at a house in the neighborhood my mother owns but is rented by friends. It's on a main street in the neighborhood, easy to find, but is up small hill/slope. Will this be a deterrant?
Second, what are the best ways to advertise? Columbia, … (13 comments)

home stager: Comment Commitment: Why I’d Like to Get my Feet Wet before Jumping Headfirst - 02/05/08 11:09 PM
I get it all the time: “You seem older,” or “I just knew you were older. Oh, no, not the way you look, it’s the way you act (carry yourself, behave, insert other verb here).” After the initial chagrin wears off (they must really think I LOOK old), I do accept this as a compliment.
How did I end up this way? Well, I grew up around adults more than kids. And I grew up down South…that means don’t speak unless you’re spoken to, which translates into a whole lot of listening. I was at the family business office far more … (16 comments)

home stager: Taking BOLD Back to Basic: Calming Down a HOT Color - 02/01/08 09:32 PM
When can you go BOLD with color?
An all aqua room may be a bit much for your average home buyer. But as an accent, it's surprisingly relaxing and absolutely refreshing! How do you take a four walls like this and transform it into a "neutral?" Simple, get rid of the rest of the color in the room. Bright sheers get replaced with white linen panels. Colorful bedding is replaced with a bleach-bright matelasse set. The room's molding, doors, and ceiling fan are also stark white and the whitewashed floors help continue that clean aesthetic.
A little color goes a long … (6 comments)
