About STAGE IT FIRST:

 Lily

As a former Esthetician and Make-Up Artist, Kathryn brings her extensive knowledge and background in colour and symmetry to her home staging business. Kathryn was inspired to start a career in home staging after helping a friend stage her home.  "It was so exciting to see the final results. I was hooked!  The home sold a few days later. That's when I knew I had to make this my new career,"  says Kathryn.

Kathryn is a graduate of the Staging DivaTM>Home Staging Business Training Program. She also enjoys acrylic painting classes with local artist Andrew Hamilton in her spare time.Hibiscus Flower Original Painting by Kathy Somers

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Kitchen Staging: This uninspired kitchen was lacking interest. With the addition of a bright red punch of color, it was transformed into a warm and inviting kitchen. This transformation was done by  spending very little money. A few bright red candles, some colorful fruit and a focal point was all it needed to make it appealing.

BEFORE: This bedroom was dated and not pulled together

Bedroom Before

AFTER: To give this room some much need impact the furniture was given a makeover by painting it a dramatic Espresso Brown. Fresh new bedding in a contempory style updates the look by decades. To add a punch of colour we added some bold artwork and lamps in a vibrant turquoise. The walls are painted in a soft smoky grey/green.

Bedroom After

BEFORE: Kitchens are one of the most important selling features in a home. This home's kitchen lacked style. Although tastefully appointed with stainless steel appliances it appears dark and lacks warmth.

 Kitchen Before 

AFTER: By removing the microwave we showcase the spacious counter tops and more emphasis is placed on the stainless steel stove. Adding a fresh green colour in the accessories and art gives this beautiful kitchen life.

Testimonials

"After two unsuccessful open houses, we knew we had to make some changes.

Kathy was very helpful; she came in and gave us constructive criticism. She was able to use many of our household items in a way that was appealing to the buyers. Her suggestions of paint colours and furniture placement helped make our house more spacious and updated.  By spending very little money, we got a great return on our investment."

"We got our first offer in just a few days after the staging. We sold for the price we wanted. Both buyers and agents were amazed with the transformation. It was a totally different house."

"I believe if we staged the house before putting it on the market we could have listed it for a higher price."
