Edelman Productions; the production company of the hit show "Sleep On It" on HGTV selects Georgia Interior Solutions, LLC to stage a home for an upcoming episode.  And we couldn't have been more thrilled!  What an honor and a privilege to have our home staging work showcased on TV!

For those who may not be familiar with the show, here's the following excerpt from the HGTV web site:

 A buyer knows he loves a house, but just can't make that leap to buy. After touring two homes, our buyer - with the approval of the sellers - chooses one house that he and his family will sleep in. They get the run of the house for 24 hours to "kick the tires" and experience (hopefully) the trials and the joys of living in that house and in that neighborhood. We find out if they are going to buy the house or pass on it based on their sleepover experience.

As with most shows, beauty shots (which are stills taken before the filming begins) are done days prior.  Here are a few of the shots I had taken with my own camera.  This is just a sneak peak of the home and by design are just a handful to give you an idea of how the home turned out for the rooms we staged.  And yes, HGTV will be passing over their shots for use on my web site.  The actual filming begins today.

Beautiful work, is that term overused, but when I say it I mean it.  Lovely, understated elegance.  Perfect for the home and perfect for TV, should all your fans call and tell them for you?  Pick them, pick them, pick them...

06/30/2008 07:39 PM by Terrylynn Fisher Realtor-Buy Stage Sell - StagersLIST.com (Diablo Realty-Live Green,Live Smart Certified REA Trainer)


Janis  - I was (and still am) so excited having been selected and can't wait to see the show!

Thanks, Joyce!

Maureen - Thank you.  If they choose my home to sleep in, then as I told the producer, they're going to have to bring their own sheets (smile). 

Thanks, Joan.

Melissa -  I'll be sure to post so that everyone can see it.

Kate - The producer just called and said that the filming has gone extremely well.  I'll definitely keep everyone up-to-date.  And I agree, this IS great for our industry.

TerryLynn - No, beautiful work is not overused (smile)  Just keep saying it and I'll be just fine with that. 

 

06/30/2008 07:56 PM by Kathy Nielsen, Atlanta Home Stager (Georgia Interior Solutions, LLC)


What fun!  May I ask some more questions?  How did you handle things like the towels and sheets?  Were you paid for your time, or was it a supposed publicity event for you?  Do you win any kind of bonus if your house is picked?

Hearty congrats, Kathy.  Jj

06/30/2008 08:14 PM by Home Staging NJ - Juliet Johnson (Juliet Johnson Staging - Home Staging NJ)


Congratulations Kathy!  Great accomplishment & well deserved.  Thanks for giving us a peek at your photos.  Looks great!

How wonderful to be recognized for good work.  Congratulations...

06/30/2008 09:04 PM by Renee Pratta ~ Renewed Rooms ~ SC (Renewed Rooms)


Hello Kathy N!  How exciting and absolutely thrilling!  I want to be like you!!  : )  I am very proud of you and your work looks awesome per usual! Thanks for sharing the photos of you gorgeous gals!  You do your industry with lots of golden shine!  BTW-How many times did they have you change the fireplace mantle accessories?  I noticed and was curious....Excellente! Go RESA! Regards-Kathleen G

07/01/2008 05:54 AM by Kathleen Garvey-- Florida Home Stager--Naples & Ft. Myers (Enhanced Interiors & Home Staging, LLC)


Hi, Juliet - The buyers were informed to bring sheets in the event they stayed at this house.  As for payment; we were given a small budget from which to work from.  I used that to cover the leasing of the furniture and the accessories.  And no, there's no bonus if the buyers select the house we staged.  I'm sure that budget amounts vary by show; by location/project.

Thanks, Michele.

Abby - You're very welcome.  I enjoyed having you and Kristi there!  And by the way, that color looks fabulous on you.

Renee - It does feel good.

Kathleen - You are so kind.  Thank you.  As for the mantle... the pictures of us were taken mid-day.  The picture of the family room was taken at the end of the day.  I believe we changed it around at least three or four times.

Kathy

07/01/2008 06:25 AM by Kathy Nielsen, Atlanta Home Stager (Georgia Interior Solutions, LLC)


Wow Kathy! What a wonderful opportunity for you and Georgia Interior Solutions!  You are very deserving of this....It doesn't surprise me that HGTV was able to see how incredibly talented you are!

Congrats and keep us posted as the air date gets closer!

07/01/2008 06:52 AM by Teresa Meyer-Home Staging Cincinnati, OH Stage a Star: Home Stager Cincinnati (Stage a Star Staging & Consulting Services)


Love the team uniform!  Do you know who staged the other house?  Or do they just stage the "sleeper"?  Congratulations and well done - Julie

07/01/2008 09:31 AM by Julia Maher, Home Stager: Staging Fairfield County Connecticut CT (Nestings: Home Staging)


Kathy,

Congratulations!  All of your hard work has paid off, and you deserve it.  Can't wait to see the show.

07/01/2008 03:36 PM by Patty Hill, BS, ASP, IAHSP www.stageitnow.net (www.StageItNow.net www.TheStagingMart.com)


Teresa - I'm blushing.  How kind of you to say such nice things.  Thank you.

Julia - I thought it would be fun to have a team uniform.  All clothing was purchased at Old Navy and we had a blast picking it out.  FYI - we began with green capri's and brown shirts.  The color combination we ended up with (turquoise and black) worked great!  The "other" home was an occupied home and according to Jasmine did need staging.  Unfortunately, it wasn't in the budget to do both so... we did the vacant home (not all rooms, just the key rooms).

Thank you, Patty!!!

07/01/2008 03:59 PM by Kathy Nielsen, Atlanta Home Stager (Georgia Interior Solutions, LLC)


OH MY GOD!  You are incredible and of course your talent always shines through in every staging.  So, did the in the sleep over did they pick the house you staged?
