certified home stager: BEFORE AND AFTER...WITH A TWIST !!! - 07/27/11 11:09 AM
BEFORE AND AFTER...WITH A TWIST !!!
HOME STYLE AND STAGING recently did a staging where the owner had done some of the staging before I was asked to come into the project.
So this Before and After is BEFORE what the owner did, and the AFTER is what HOME STYLE AND STAGING was able to do with the space, this I feel is why staging should be left to the professionals. Got to hand it to them, they did try, more than I can say for some.
BEFORE: PROVIDED BY THE OWNER AFTER: PROVIDED BY HOME … (12 comments)

WHEN YOU KNOW IT IS TIME TO FINALLY GET THAT YARD RAKED,Lexie and Lucie were out playing in the back yard, and when it was time to come in, well this is what I was greeted with..

Also, I do believe that there are more leaves in my house than outside...But you gotta love that face !!!

HOME STYLE AND STAGING received a phone call the other day from a very nice lady in Indiana, she asked the name of the color that I had used in two of the re-design bathrooms that I done.

My two Schnauzers, Lexie and Lucie, never sit and beg whenever I am eating breakfast on the couch and watching TV. They just sit and stare until I hand them something.

Recently I was asked to RE-DESIGN AN ARTIST LOFT TO A BABY BOY NURSERY, so HOME STYLE AND STAGING got to work. I can only share with you the finished wall, as my other photos will not download. have no reason as to why.

certified home stager: LEARNING SOMETHING NEW EVERYDAY... - 04/12/10 12:27 PM
LEARNING SOMETHING NEW EVERYDAY can be hard to do...but on this particular day I was just having a casual conversation with a friend and this is what I learned...This is going to be something that I will incorporate into my staging...
There are smells, not bad not good, in a home when I have had to stage. I do not like to cover them up with sprays or candles. I have wondered what would be a good way to get rid of the smell and came across this solution.
Yes, coffee grounds, they absorb the smells without covering them
up. … (16 comments)

certified home stager: WHEN IS STAGING NOT ABOUT ACCESSORIES AND FURNITURE BUT ABOUT THE WRITTEN WORD ? - 03/12/10 12:30 PM
As a stager, I get asked to do a lot of different things, however, yesterday it was not all about the accessories and the furniture and where I should place what and where.
