Well you never know who is going to need your staging services!
A couple of weeks ago I got a referral call from the Fort Worth Convention and Visitors Bureau. They were looking for someone to design and stage their meeting room to function as a media interview space for the Lonestar Film Festival which started here in Fort Worth yesterday. They weren't sure what they needed but they wanted it to look hip and modern. More MTV than Cowtown! Oh and there was virtually no budget as this is a non-profit.
The first person I contacted was my rep, Diana, at Brook Furniture Rental in Dallas. I met her at their showroom and picked out the pieces I thought would work best in the space. They have a fabulous white leather armless loveseat that I thought would really pop against the charcoal walls in the room. Pair that with two of their Terracotta leather side chairs and instant modern wow factor!
Here is what the room looked like "before".
I ended up adding a couple of other pieces, a cocktail table and floor lamp as well as a large bamboo plant in case I needed it. Diana was great about not only getting me all the pieces I needed for my 5 day "stage" but Brook Furniture generously donated the rental.
Here are the "after" photos.
Here's the view from the street!
I could not have pulled this off without Diana's help and Brook Furniture! I think it turned out great and more importantly the Visitors Bureau was happy with the result.
