How to Brighten & Bring Light a Family Room without a Lamp?
During these sometimes dreary days of Winter it's important to have a Family Room show as light, bright and big as possible. Even in the San Francisco Bay Area we have our share of dark and/or rainy days at this time of year!
While working with sellers I try to find ways to brighten....lighten....and show rooms as large as possible. At times that I can do that without adding any "lamps"!
This Family Room in Danville was transformed into this shinning example:

Staging an Occupied Home - It Takes:
VISION EDITING of the Sellers Possessions ADDING ACCESSORIES Many sellers today need to live in their home while it is on the market. As a professional home stager in the San Francisco Bay Area I consult with many "savvy sellers" who understand that the home they live in will need to be transformed into a home for sale. It takes vision, editing.....and then adding back the WOW factor with art, rugs, and all the accessories that will showcase the home and make it appeal to the target buyer.

home stager danville: A Meaningful Home Staging for 2010
- 12/31/10 12:56 PM
2010 Brought a Meaningful Home Staging!
As I look back over my 2010 book of business 1 home staging stands apart from all the others. While I loved the results it was the back story that makes me proud of a friend and a long battle!
Five years ago a very dear friend was diagnosed with tongue cancer. She has always been the "standard" of healthy living....never smoked, a light drinker, never over weight, very active and is a nurse by profession. While this was devastating news she met it with grace and courage.
It was a very LONG 6 … (19 comments)

Staged a Home in Concord on Monday - It was PENDING and in Escrow Tuesday!
Several weeks ago I was asked to provide a home staging consultation in the Ygnacio Wood community of Concord. This home has been owned by the same owner for over 40 years. The sellers daughter was in town and assisting with the process and we quickly looked at the option of her Mom moving, having the home staged and the home going on the market. We all felt it would be less stressful for her mother not living in the home while it was for … (33 comments)

Occupied Home Staging - There are Challenges and There are Rewards!
As a home stager in the Bay Area I stage both vacant and occupied homes as they are being prepared for SALE! An occupied home staging is challenging for both the seller and the home stager.
First I consult with the seller on how BEST to present the home and that may mean some difficult changes for the seller. Then....I need to see how to utilize the sellers furniture and perhaps supplement with some rental items...add accessories, art and now it's showcased. Once staged the seller will need … (21 comments)
