Arcadia Luxury Estate Slide Show

Here is a flash slide show for the luxury Arcadia home staged by Los Angeles home staging company Moving Mountains Design recently. For those that didn't read the original post, the house was sold and escrow closed 29 days after staging in July 2009.

Create a free slideshow with Picnik!

The flash slide show is a new premium service provided by Picnik.com. I really like the high quality of the photographs, and the ability to customize the speed of the slide show and whether or not you want a straight slide show, or documentary style, like the one above. If you know a little HTML you can also alter the size of the show. I'm working on how to center it in my AR blog post.

In order to use the Picnik show, write your post in WYSIWYG, then save it as a draft. Click on 'edit' on your post and switch to HTML. Copy and paste the HTML code from the Picnik page into your blog post where you want it to appear. Et Voila! a beautiful flash slide show.

Thanks for sharing Michelle. The home looks gorgeous!

You're welcom Crystal. Check out Picnik.com. They're great for creating slide shows and other interesting photo effects.

Michelle, this looks great the colors are beautiful, will check out Picnik.com!

Just followed this from twitter...beautiful staging, excellent photos and the quality/res. outstanding. Must check this out for myself! Thank you for sharing. As always, you are a tremendous resource for stagers!

Hi Anna: Thank you! If you need help with Picnik, let me know.

Ashley: I'm glad you like it. Thank you. Creating the slide show couldn't be easier. They also have an option so that you can email it to up to 10 people at a time.

Michelle,

I love the slide show quality. It really showcases the beautiful staging. I've used Picnik for photos but was unaware of the slide show option. I'm off to check it out. Thanks!

Thanks for the tip Michelle! The slideshow is beautiful, like the house. I'll definitely have to try this out.

Geri: I'm really impressed with the quality of the slide show, especially considering it is free. The slide show is a new service they just announced to premium (paid) members but I think its free to all.

Debby: You are most welcome. Thank you for your help staging my Pasadena Craftsman today. You rock!

The slide show is beautiful and hard to believe it is free! Your staging is gorgeous too! Just love the grand piano entrance!!

Michelle, thanks for sharing your beautiful staging. If you figure out how to center your video on the AR Blog please let me know! =)

beautiful staging, Michelle, and in addition, thank you for sharing some "Techie" stuff as well!

This is an awesome feature, Michelle. I too received the email and went to Picnik and created a show. I'll be posting it later.

As for yours - it came out beautiful; just like your staging.

Kathy

Cathy Lee: I agree...its hard to believe its free. Of course they do have their watermark & a little link at the bottom, but you can't beat the price.

David: I'm sure its not difficult...just add a line of code...its just figuring out what that line is that is the time consuming part.

Karen: I thought the slideshow feature at Picnik was worthwhile sharing.

Kathy: It was so easy. I just used some photos that were already uploaded to Picnik, so it literally took me less than 5 minutes to create. It took me longer to write the post than to create the slide show!

All: The regular slide show is free to Picnik users. The slide show I used is called "documentary" and you have to be a premium member of Picknik to use it.

Beautiful! Can't wait to look into Picnik!

Hi Michelle: I just played around with this new feature today. I love Picnik! Beautiful work, as always Michelle!! That house is breathtaking.

Michelle, Your work is absolutely gorgeous....over and over again your work astounds me. Thank you for the information on the slide show, I loved seeing it and the instructions to go with it.

Kim: Thanks. Enjoy...

Thank you Teresa.I love Picnik too.

Carole: Thank you! As a Feng Shui professional, you could use the slide show to display some homes you have applied your many talents to.

Superb way to show off what you have done. Great job of explaining how to post it

Glad you like it Virginia. Its really easy.

Beautiful slide show, Michelle. I've used picnic for other uses, but not the premium service, thanks for the tip!

AUG

Thanks Connie. The ease of use is really what is great about the PicniK slide show.

AUG

This is great MM. As always... your staging is unsurpassed. Tell me how this is different from REshows and eRealestate slide shows? I would be interested in the ease of this compared to the others. ;))

Hi Michelle,

Beautiful job. Just goes to show that showcasing something like this takes it from a house to a "home".

So well done!

AUG

thaks again for info on a great tool. I am amazed at the clarity of the pictures.

Hi LKP: Sorry, I didn't see your comment. I'm not sure about REShows or eRealEstate slide shows, but since I use Picnik.com a lot I thought I'd give it a whirl. The photos are extremely easy to upload and the photos are very clear. I can also manipulate the size of the slide show using html which is a great feature.

Hi Lynda: Apologies for not responding to your comment as well. Thank you, I'm glad you like it.

Jo: The pics are amazingly clear compared to some other slide shows out there. PS, this qualifies as video IMHO:o))

SEP

Hi Michelle - wonderful post and slide show. I use Real Estate Shows and love them. I tried to center one by just going into edit mode and clicking on the show then using the center button above. You might be able to insert the code <center> before and after the embed code in HTML - I am scared to try that, I have messed up my whole blog by experimenting and Brad and Bob had to fix it - :) Maybe give Brad a call - I would like to be able to center my shows, too.
