staging: Stagers, Go Green With Milk, Milk Paint That Is ! - 10/10/08 03:44 PM
As Professional Home Stagers, we do try to be as environmentally friendly or "green" as possible. In fact, Stagers always try to work with furnishings and accessories that the client already owns thus reducing waste. Today, I discovered another "green" product called Milk Paint.

staging: Staging The Shower or... The Shower Curtain - 07/18/08 02:05 PM

Fresh rolled towels, a fluffy robe, artwork, greenery or a simple floral will bring that "just gotta have it" look. Simple, elegant drapery panels can be used instead of a standard shower curtain like the drapes with grommets used by Jackson West from Vancouver's Reveal Estate Home Staging. Jackson also always uses beautifully wrapped soaps as props. Often when choosing a shower curtain or drape … (12 comments)
