top minnesota home stager: Love, Sacrifice and Bravery- Thank you!
- 08/21/10 03:52 AM
This video speaks of love, sacrifice and bravery- both for those men and women in our armed forces and those they leave behind. Everyday those serving in our armed forces risk their lives to bring peace and stability to other regions of the world and to ensure that ours is kept here in the USA. They have marketable skills, they have training and educational backgrounds- they are employable- they could pursue an easier job back home, but they sacrifice for you and for me. It costs them, it costs their families and I am so grateful that they willing go … (3 comments)
There were some very strong opinions in the comments of a recent blog post concerning how a particular home was "staged". Each table was set for dinner (even incorrectly as pointed out by some). As a Professional Home Stager in the Los Angeles and Ventura County areas, some Clients and Realtors are even asking us to "set" the tables when we are Staging. It is in my humble opinion that this can be very contrived and over-done if not done properly which prompted this post to maybe be of inspiration to others in alternatives to "setting" the tables when … (3 comments)
Exterior painting can really help sell a house quicker and for more money! How much more value do you Real Estate Professionals think this paint job adds to the home below? What a difference a little paint can make. Check out these Before and After photos of a Melbourne, Florida exterior repaint. After we pressure washed this Melbourne home we repaired all of the staircase stucco cracks, applied a clear sealer (due to chalkyness), and applied two coats of Sherwin Williams A100 satin exterior paint. Before Pressure washing … (7 comments)
I am continually being amazed by the brilliance of the talking minds. Joe the Plumber and others have demonstrated a level of intelligence and common sense that is just somehow escaping others. I see those who are capable of great speeches, lying through their teeth and just plainly reiterating what they have been told with no understanding of what that means. We should expect that the so called experts sent out to help our ailing economy should have some comprehension of the subject that they are "helping" on. Is that really to much to expect? Where are these … (10 comments)
top minnesota home stager: Where I have been
- 05/15/09 02:17 AM
A few short weeks ago my husband went in for back surgery. It was to be rather intense as he was having fusion, had a tumor on his spine and a disc that was protruding. They were to take bone from his hip to use in the back and that was to give him some pain during the proposed 5 months of recovery. We are both self employed and his part of that is roofing. So it is no small matter to take off another 5 months(he hasn't been able to work with the pain for 5 months). The doctors … (13 comments)

top minnesota home stager: Black adds Elegance and Interest
- 06/16/08 06:40 AM
To create drama and dress up any room, consider adding touches of black. It works in virtually any color scheme and with any decorating style. If you are going for major drama, inject even larger doses of this dynamic color in your window treatments, upholstered furniture, bedding, flooring or floor coverings, decorative wall moldings, shelving, cabinets, or your wooden furniture pieces. Lime green, white, orange, red, yellow and aqua all pop when positioned on or near black pieces. Paint artwork frames, mirrors, or add black painted pinstripes. Decorative boxes hung on the wall or open shelving to hold accessories in black … (18 comments)

top minnesota home stager: MN Home Stager Report - Fast Cop Inc. Coming to Brainerd International Raceway
- 05/04/07 01:35 PM
Fast Cop Inc. is a hot program in the State of Minnesota and the excitement is mounting as they are coming to the Brainerd Lakes area on May 20th. The program is education in nature - teaching students the harsh reality of drug and alcohol use, aggressive driving behavior and the popular, illegal, and often times deadly sport of street racing. There have been a few Hollywood movies that helped to bring this sport back into vogue. Hundreds of drivers between the ages of 16-26 lose their lives in illegal street drag racing every year. We have problems on the county … (1 comments)
