Hamilton/Burlington RESA Chapter September Meeting

Home Stager with Center Stage Design-real estate staging, Ancaster/Hamilton

 

The Hamilton/Burlington RESA Chapter met on September 27 at Tansley Woods Community Centre.

Our guest speaker was Laurey Fawcett from Sherwin Williams Paint. Laurey had a lot of information to share about paint and how to pick the right paint for your project.  She taught us how to read the fan deck properly and the types of finishes were discussed.  Unfortunately we were unable to have Laurey complete her whole 1.5 hour presentation due to the time allowed for our meeting.  This was a little disappointing.

Each member attending the RESA Chapter meeting will be getting a free fan deck.

Laurey shared a website to our Hamilton/Burlington Chapter members to receive free paint chips in large sizes to use for our businesses.  I am unable to share this website unfortunately.

Our Hamilton/Burlington RESA Chapter Charity "Walls of Hope" has completed the home for the family chosen for help.

Many of our RESA Chapter members pitched in to help on many levels.  In June it was started by decluttering and organizing and getting together all the help necessary to complete the project.

The last week of September the job was completed.  A new roof, new kitchen, new bathroom, floors, painting, landscaping, are just some of the projects taken on. Of course staging at the end for the reveal.  The President's Choice charity will be funding the remodel of the main floor bathroom to make it wheelchair accessible for one of the children.

A special thank you was given to Linda Graydon, Soulscape Interiors, home staging for all her hard work with the charity.  Linda is heading our "Walls of Hope" charity committee.  Other Hamilton/Burlington RESA Chapter members sitting on the committee are Allison Roberts (Burloak Home Staging) and Kim Abraham (Harmony Home Staging).  They did a lot of work for our Charity.

Hi Karen:  Thanks for sharing; every room was truly transformed.  Each bedroom seemed very special too - nothing cookie-cutter.  What a great, talented team and generous supporters.  Julie
