Kimberly, Great Pictures and Staging. You took the home from cold, unemotional and confusing to warm , inviting and emotionally connecting.

Huge difference!

Another good example of the "lifestyle" emotions that can come from staging (merchanding as keep trying to call it)

I can attest from having Kimberly check out my own product ... Kimberly knows her stuff.

Kim, Talk about the photos please. I really want to know about the flower "headboard." That is intriguing. Great photos, thanks.

Phyllis - I am on a personal mission to never actually use a real headboard.  Want to join me?  I could use some fresh perspective...

Nice job Kimberly!  I noticed, no window treatments.  Personally I dont like curtains so often leave the windeows alone.  Sometimes the view outside is THE focal point, so why gunk it up.  Thanks for sharing.

Terry Haugen - STAGE it RIGHT!

Great transformation - from cold to warm.  Terry - I too leave the windows alone in most of the vacant homes I do. 

Kimberly - I'd love some new and fresh ideas for headboards so I'll join you.

Terry- I try to stay away from window treatments - especially in a builder's model.  They just spent a lot of money on woodwork, they should show it off.

Kathy- Thanks!  I usually come up with my best stuff under pressure, but I sure would love to see some great headboard ideas in advance - like the towels.  It sure would save me a lot of stress. I am especially lost when it comes to little boys rooms.

I'm with you about never using a real headboard - it's just too easy to find something interesting to stand in for one, such as a curtain hung on the wall or just a group of pictures as a suggestion of one or even a Soji (sp?) screen turned sideways and mounted as a headboard.  But, I too would love to hear more on those flowers of yours!

Patricia-  I posted a member's only blog called the "Flower Headboard".  I would link to it, but my internet connection is glitchy today and I could lose the whole comment.  It should be easy enough to find. Thanks for all the ideas!  I have used badminton rackets, kites, tea towels and wrought iron wall hangings.  I 'd love to see more...
