Did you know that a luminaire is the combination of a lamp and the fixture? Essentially, another name for lighting is luminaires in the design world.

There are three types of lighting: ambient which is background or fill; task which is lighting for some specific activity and accent lighting which … (0 comments)

I share with you a quote to ponder and color inspiration.
"Human behavior flows from three main sources: desire, emotion, and knowledge" - Plato
The behavior of people is always driven by something, something is motivating it. Sometimes good, sometimes bad. I know we’ve all had experiences both ways – it’s life. Desire is what drives us to do something; how we feel and how we determine our goal; with knowledge and ability we are able to conquer whatever we set out to do.

FOXY INTERIORS INCORPORATED, CENTRAL FLORIDA HOME STAGING. REDEDSIGN. RENOVATION What's in a vignette? Really anything you want it to be.

Below are some examples Foxy Interiors has pulled together. This is an example of laddering the artificial botanicals to add depth to the arrangement.

- 07/21/12 11:09 AM
FOXY INTERIORS INCORPORATED IN CENTRAL FLORIDA HOME STAGING. REDESIGN. RENOVATION I was tempted to call this "The Misadventures of Appliances". Being a baby boomer, I have an expectation -- an expectation that our appliances last at least 15 years. I guess I'm living in the dream world of old. About eight months ago, our new one year old Samsung over-the-stove microwave oven serenaded us to intermittent beeps. My husband removed the electronic panel to dissect the problem and for a short while the beeping stopped. We had to unplug the thing to silence it though. If we were lucky enough, we … (0 comments)

- 07/13/12 11:25 AM
Marie Graham Westchester County NY Home Stager did a fabulous job of putting in statistics of those who have spatial-relationship ability -- 95% cannot view themselves in a room and 5% can.

You looked at this expansive space and wondered what the heck. It's too big and I can't afford to fill this room with furniture. It will take too many pieces and I don't know where to begin.

Also, the home's location. For example, I wouldn't stage a home in the mountains in a beach theme. Also, the potential home buyer or market will dictate its style. If the average age is 35 looking for a family home, I would stage in modern elements. Conversely, if the area is retiree populated, I would stage more traditional.
