home staging ideas: Lifestyle Design – Home Staging the Garden? - 03/21/11 05:21 PM
As we all know, targeting a lifestyle is a well established design niche for both retailers and designers -from big box stores to model home designers, lifestyle design is all about knowing how your ideal client lives. Today, it's about fine tuning the enjoyment of your home. The most expensive thing we own, the one place in this unsure world we can feel safe - Home, now more than ever is where the heart is.
Take a stroll through the Home & Garden department at your local Wal-Mart, Target or Costco. That area no longer just houses pots, towels and trowels - Now, there are whole tempting outdoor … (5 comments)

home staging ideas: Tread Carefully When Seasonally Staging a Home - 10/19/09 09:26 AM
I'll be getting interviewed for our local paper in 1 hour on Holiday Decorating & Entertaining. After spending the weekend compiling my thoughts and doing a bit detective work, here are a few thoughts on Holiday Decor for your home.
Retail can be overwhelming, you can be swayed and tempted a few times within an isle these days. From new color combinations in the ornament lane, to adorable tiny bales of hay to adorn your tabletops - Retailers aim for you to spend. So here is a philosophy to apply when seasonally decorating -

home staging ideas: How to Home Stage on a Budget - 02/16/09 12:46 PM
We all watch those reality home staging improvement shows on HGTV...
In what seems like a day... A home that has been haplessly sitting on the Market, goes from drab and hopeless, to totally fabulous. The makeover is incredible! From a whole new kitchen (including appliances and really cute back-splash glass tiles) to a household full of new furnishings - All for a mire $2000.00!
WOW, Staging sure seems remarkable.
Well, just like a sub-prime mortgage.... What seems too good to be true, well, is. The truth is - the TV show has a behind-the-scene staff of around 20, and they got that cute glass tile for free … (13 comments)

home staging ideas: Keeping up with the Joneses - Topping off the Counter Top - 04/15/08 08:28 AM
Whether at a Staging Evaluation or teaching a Home Stage Workshop/Seminar, one of the most common questions I get is - "WHAT ARE THE TRENDS IN COUNTER TOPS?" My reply is always the same - if I'm wearing my Stager's hat I'll tell you "GRANITE-GRANITE-GRANITE," but when wearing my decorator hat I'll tell you "...We're so over GRANITE!"
It's a predicament for those of us that wear more than one hat. As a decorator, it is our job to be privy to what is hip and happenin' in the field, but when it comes to staging a home, we're skilled to what is universally appreciated, valued and accepted.
Top that off, … (10 comments)

home staging ideas: Stagers Beware!!! Home Buyers today have ADHD with HGTV & TLC thrown in… - 08/22/07 09:06 AM
Over the years we have all viewed our fair share of let's say "interesting" staging - you know... The great, but empty, high-end home, impressive by its fabulous curb appeal, but when you step inside you're dazed by the obvious "staged" foyer with a wacky tiny plant stand precariously seated beneath a Titan sized mirror. You'd look and say, "Hmm... I guess the plant stand was to depict the missing entry table?" In the past you'd chalk it off to a lack of education on the theory of scale, or a really, really tiny staging budget.
Well fast forward to 2007, … (7 comments)
