Another Shade of Gray... home staging leads to product styling staging

Home Stager with Toronto GTA, Alliston, Newmarket 416.928.2999

Home staging in Vaughan and Toronto has introduced our staging company Michelle Finnamore Interiors to some very diverse business opportunities.

From doing decor selections for the 35th largest condo builder Norstar Development Corp.  at their newest condo called Portrait on Sheppard Ave East to attending decor selections with buyers when they purchase their new home.

We are open for business and look to serve the needs of our clients whether it is for a personal residence or for a business.

We recently worked with Northern Wide Plank Flooring staging their newest line of wood flooring for their marketing materials.

Northern Wide Plank Flooring ships wood flooring internationally so it was imperative that we were able to create a visual to attract a buyer when they might not be in the same country.

We loved the distressed finish on this gray wide plank floor. We brought in Restoration Hardware type furniture along with a natural elm bookcase and a very distressed metal mirror which looked like a window in the shot. The gray throw was styled on the arm of the distressed brown leather club chair to draw the eye down to the floor.

Notice how much the floor takes up in the image. A designer or architect anywhere in the world that is looking to spec a wood floor will find the visuals we created for the product will help to entice their clients to select this top quality wood flooring.

This wide plank floor is just one shade of gray that is in the new line up for Northern Wide Plank.

Investment, minimal.

Impact, priceless.

Hi Courtney, I loved this shot. I really didn't want to get out of that down chair once I sat down in it. Wish my place looked like this.

The title was a challenge I took up from Melissa Marro here on AR. She always writes titles that get the attention of readers. I wanted to try my hand at it and it seems to have worked! Thanks for stopping in.

That's right, we are the staging queens  you and I! We stage anything that isn't standing still. LOL!!  When I stay at the Drake hotel in Toronto I always have to promise them that I will put everything back before I check out. LOL!!!  Thanks for stopping in and thanks for the heads up on the post not being open. I changed that.

I have been hemming and hawing about the color for our soon-to-be-refinished floors. 

We have dogs with white fur, so dark wood won't work..... I've always loved a touch of grey in hardwoods, and really like this look!

Thanks for the inspiration!

Hi Tom and Alicia, this is the very best colour to have for a wood floor if you have pets. Glad you've been inspired to have it in your home. Loved it when I had it in my last house for 8 years.

Hi Maureen, I would encourage any home staging company to do this type of work. It is creative and definitely gets you to think in a different way than when home staging.

Hi Sharon, we loved working with this company. The owners were very easy to work with and were very happy with our work.

The photographer was a professional product/commercial photographer and really knew his stuff. He had a laptop hooked up to the camera so that we could see the results as the shots were taken. Adjustments were made right then and there to the images.Then we would switch out the furniture for the next shot. We had three different floors installed for this first round of images.

We return next week for round two with differenet floors installed and different furniture to work with.
