platinum home staging inc: Using Home Staging for Income Properties - 11/18/11 11:59 AM
Utilizing a Home Stager can not only SAVE you money, but can ultimately bring in revenue to your apartment, condo or multi-family property by enticing potential Tenants with model floor plans of what their unit can become. Making the smart descision of hiring a Home Stager isn’t just for selling ”houses”.
This large apartment complex in the Eagle Rock area of Los Angeles did not have a SINGLE Tenant and the Investors wanted to showcase what living in their community could encompass and how a “white box” could feel like their new, contemporary HOME. After months of being on the market without a … (9 comments)

platinum home staging inc: Do You "Point & Delegate"? Or "Get Down & Dirty"? - 09/15/11 02:39 PM
So many times we hear advertising that Home Staging is, “Easy!” or “Not hard work….” yet time and again our Clients (even our furniture movers) are amazed when they enter a home we are in the midst of Staging and see US not only carrying heavy bins filled with accessories, books or bedding; but watch US move a sofa across the room in the blink of an eye. We are not “Point and delegate” Home Stagers. We want it done, and we want it done right – the first time.
Case in point: although this was an Interior Design job rather … (5 comments)

platinum home staging inc: They Might Ask for it: But Will They Know What to DO With It?! ("Open" Floor Plans) - 03/24/11 11:18 AM
So many times Buyers ask for an open-floor concept when shopping for a new home. While Buyers ask for this, the open-floor concept often leaves them "stumped" as to where to place furniture and how to define each living space. When it comes to helping Realtors, Home Owners and Developers sell their homes in the Los Angeles and Ventura Counties quickly; they know to call Platinum Home Staging, Inc. as we know exactly how to make sense of open-floor concepts.

platinum home staging inc: Sometimes, Breaking Up Is Not Hard To Do... - 01/05/11 09:46 AM
... Especially when it involves a brick fireplace that you've never been attracted to.
Do you have one of these? A dated reminder in your home of just how old it may be? You've never been attracted to it, but it was functional and served it's purpose; yet you never knew how to break it off and move on to something new?
These Westlake Village Home Owners were in that exact position when they called Platinum Home Staging, Inc. for "counseling". It was rocky, awkward and lop-sided; but it had a good foundation to work with and our Professionals were able … (14 comments)

platinum home staging inc: While Visions of Sugar Plums Danced in Their Heads... - 12/17/10 10:26 AM
This is a great family home with 4 bedrooms, 3 full baths, grand "open" floor plan, 2 car detached garage with pool, hot tub, and a Pool House complete with its own full bath and kitchenette located in a quiet neighborhood in Northridge, CA.
You would think that the description alone would sell the house by itself. But this Developer knew that the "grand" open floor plan would be confusing to most Northridge Buyers, and while the home definitely had its ammenaties, it also had its challenges. This is the 4th Home we have Staged for this Developer and while the house looked like … (4 comments)

platinum home staging inc: Custom "Ordered" Cabinets Does NOT Mean Custom "Made" - 12/16/10 09:53 AM
What you are looking at is the view from under a corner-cabinet installation. In this case the "contractor" sold the Home Owners on the fact that they were going to get "... a completely redesigned kitchen with ‘custom made' cabinets...." Needs less to say what they GOT for the "...get what you pay for..." bid were Made in Ch*na modular cabinets and THIS is what his crew did to accommodate the fact that the modular cabinets; with their predetermined size, depth & dimensions didn't actually "fit" the space. They lost ALL this valuable storage space for dishes/glass/etc - and this was only … (4 comments)

platinum home staging inc: Trying to Save an Arm, Might Surely Cost you a Leg - 12/13/10 08:00 PM
This is part of an on-going series concerning acceptance of "the lowest bid" and what you get for the money. More along the lines of "Buyer Beware" or the old adage, "If it's too good to be true, then it probably is." In Interior Design and Construction (or Home Staging) this is consistently true. In this particular case, the Home Owner truly went with the lowest bid; in her own words, "Nobody could touch this Contractors prices". On top of this, she and her husband thought that they would save even more money by acting as their own "contractors" and overseeing the project themselves … (28 comments)

platinum home staging inc: ".... Somebody had been smoking in MY HOME." said Momma Bear - 12/08/10 03:55 PM
The above picture was NOT photo-shopped, but taken on a job site of a Client's home where Platinum Home Staging, Inc. has been brought in to "save the day". You see, these Home Owners thought they would save a little money by not hiring a Professional to help over see the Interior Remodel of their newly purchased home. They instead hired a "contractor" and felt that they would save a lot of money by overseeing the project themselves. This "contractor" does not warrant a capital "C" in our humble opinion by what his company, sub-contractors and tradespeople have done to this couple and … (11 comments)

platinum home staging inc: How We Made a Banana-Yellow Velvet Sofa WORK! - 11/01/10 10:47 PM
There it was..... staring at us like it was taunting us.... a banana-yellow, velvet sofa....
Yet, somehow..... some way.... we needed to "make it work".
You see, these sellers were a brother and sister team selling their parents home who had recently passed. They had already spent a substantial amount of money repainting the entire home which involved removal of wallpaper from EVERY room of the home as well as all new flooring through out. Once it came time to actually list the home, they didn't have the funding to be able to bring in new furniture to Stage the home, so my … (83 comments)

platinum home staging inc: How to Bring Organized Calm to an 8' x 10' Sound Studio - 10/01/10 09:52 AM
This was a very different project then the typical Interior Design or Re-Design challenge. This was designing a VERY small room (only 8' x 10') into a functional, organized, calm sound studio for a nationally syndicated radio host who works out of her home. Sound quality, acoustics, projection, equipment, wiring, lighting.... as well as a space that Guests could come in to record interviews had to ALL be implemented into this tiny 8' x 10' space.
Here are a couple befores of the studio:
The Client was inspired by the colors and feel of the new W Hotel in downtown … (8 comments)
