All I did was.... take it from dust and construction to elegant master bedroom!

HI Kathy, I don't know what it is, maybe this long snowy winter, but I am just loving all the colour around this year. I went to a couple of furniture launches and they are even making pink sofas and turquoise ottomans! It's like a colour riot of happiness. Thought I would get on the happy train and venture away from staging neutral.

HI Kathy B., it's hard to explain to people but we really do just get a vision of what a place might look like. This bedroom was directly next door to an identical room. But this one felt different to me. It faced the same direction, the only difference was this room had an ensuite.

HI Janet, I agree with you on the architecture feature in the window area. My main goal was to highlight that and keep the drapery off the actual window to make the wall look extra wide.

Hi Maureen, The energy in this room is glorious. I have stayed in trendy hotels with this modern look that has the ability to make you feel right at home.

Hi Kathy, Thank you for the feature on this room, it's great to see colour and pattern being rewarded in the staging industry. One important thing to do when using colour and pattern is to have a professional photogrpaher. It makes all the difference with the final look of the images on line and in print. I took these photos with an HD camera but you should see the photogrpahers. Will post those as soon as I can.

Hi Sam, thanks for stopping in to see this model home. Buyers are actually loving it and asking for the bedding to go with their purchase of  a home. Marketing at it's best! We have hit a chord with the target market and they can see themselves living in this home built by Terra Moda.

Thank you Wendy, Love your logo! 

Hi Kimo, ah yes.... these window treatments truly were a guilty pleasure/treasure. I went outside my typical staging acumen with the decision to use this fabric selection. My business as taken a  turn in the direction of design and this is the result. Absolutely fabulous response from the people buying the townhomes.

As you say, stagers really try to appeal to the widest range of buyers. In this pocket of the city, it really is a particular market that moves in to this location. That was the reasoning behind the design/staging work here.  I appreciate your comments as it seems  that staging is taking a turn in the look and feel that is presented to buyers. Have you seen this happening in your area as well?

Very well expressed Kimo. I find that I have become more of a merchandiser as I have had the opportunity to work with new home builders much more this past year. Seems I have been able to identify and meet the client base expectations as we are getting very positive feedback. 

I had never done model homes until last year and won two design awards with the first two and one for designing a sales and decor centre. I love both aspects of the staging business as one allow you to experience immediate success with the sale of a property while the other allows you the freedom to create something tangible from the construction stage to finished product.

Hi Leslie, that chair was the first piece of furniture that I found for inspiration in this work for the model home. Something about the graceful lines and the recline in the chair made me think elegant and sophisticated was the way to go. 

I appreciate the comments from Kimo as well. I am taking my staging business to a new level and am eager to continue these discussions.

Hi Janice, thanks for stopping in. I love the bedding as well, it's just so alluring in some way. I just want to get into the bed and pretend I am in a hotel on a very nice vacation.
