Julea- Two words...ABSOLUTELY LUSCIOUS!!!

Looks fabulous! I love the floral arrangements.... we have the hardest time finding good ones here!

Julea ~ Fabulous job! So, what's the secret (patent pending) of the window treatments? ; ) (If you don't mind my asking).

Elaine - Thanks!!

Melissa - Gotta get the mix! - Custom and Local retailer.

Kathy - Patent Pending...

Beautiful color palate! It is very inspiring!

Gorgeous...I love color.

Julea, nice to see your name pop up, hope all is going well? I absolutely love your use of accessories. The scale, color and quality looks absolutely beautiful.

Fabulous work! Love the house too. Having the right tools to work with makes such a difference.

An absolutely beautiful job! The sophistication, florals, color and accessorizing are so very nice!

Love those fun vintage prints in the kitchen! They add a lot of charm.

Great job! Very classy and warm. I love the pictures in the kitchen. Thanks for sharing.

Your pictures are awesome and your work is stellar!

Kathy

Just beautiful! I love the colors you used and your staging!

Thanks Everyone -

With all the grays and whites this winter in Chicago - I wanted to think Spring. We're doing an Open House for Valentine's Day too w/a Chocolate Fountain - That should get them in there!

Julea - It's gorgeous (just like you), even if you did use rafia in thoe cups! ;) I've always wanted to buy those prints, but have not had a property that suited them. :(

Kim,

The kitchen prints? I love vintage prints - they have awesome colors, and always make people happy when they see them.

I love raffia, I know it's an inside joke w/you guys - but its such a good mix - Rich w/Poor - especially when you're dealing w/a 1.5m home. I love the texture and earthiness of it.

Yes, the kitchen prints. Love them!

Keep making that kind of aregument and I may actually come around on the raffia thing. ;)

What can I say Julea?! Amazing! Great color palate! I feel warmer already.

If you don't mind sharing...was there a budget for accessories? Or, cost in and inventory out? Over the past months I have been building a pretty extensive prop library. Have not run across a client that wanted to purchase the accessories outright. Though, I am sure it will occur sooner than later!

Again. great work! If you are ever in a pinch, I am available to assist.

Nice and warm feeling- great colors for the Valentine's open house!

Kathy

Julea, I love the artwork and that staggered way you hung them! Gorgeous dahling!

Gina,

Good to know another local !!

This is for a Builder, so we'll move all the furniture and accessories to another property once this is SOLD. I come up w/a budget after the home evaluation, and I split the budget into Furnishings, Accessories and my time for research, purchase and execution.

If you're renting furnishings, I think offering the option for purchase is a great idea in this market. They can use the accessories as a buyer incentive, or use them as they please - usually in their own home...

Thank you for the tips Julea. I have been struggling pro vrs. cons with inventory. Really,understanding that is the "monster" of the biz!

Gina,

Anytime. I am not an inventory person, although I have some accessories stockpiled. I have found that in Chicago, because the home sit on the market for awhile, carrying inventory would not be a sound business model
