st paul: St Paul, MN Winter Carnival - a must do!
- 02/01/17 06:11 AM
The St Paul Winter Carnival is great family event and there is still time to catch some of the activities. This is a great yearly event and I have to sadly say I just haven't taken the time to attend any of the events the last few years. What was I thinking? There is so much to do and it is just nice to get out in the fresh air and stop hibernating.
Last weekend we visited Rice Park to see the ice sculptures, watch the pony rides, eat some junk food and take photos with the Charles Schultz characters. So fun.

st paul: Rolling......Rolling.......Rolling on the River.........
- 08/29/10 04:51 AM
So hopefully Tina's song is crashing through your brain (where it will remain for the rest of the day by the way) as you view these pictures of my roll down the river yesterday.
My husband and I took a sight seeing cruise on a Paddleboat down the Mississippi River and what a glorious day.
We left from downtown St. Paul, traveled south under the High Bridge, and on past many sights. The old Schmidt Brewery, the split of the Minnesota and Mississippi Rivers and on down to Fort Snelling.

st paul: It's NOT ALL ABOUT THE TV!
- 07/07/10 01:32 AM
When selling a home, it's NOT ALL ABOUT THE TV! I walk into more and more homes for home staging where the TV takes up half the room, at least one entire wall. Then, all the furniture is positioned for perfect viewing of the TV. Okay for living, not for selling. When I make the suggestion that the TV needs to be removed while the house is for sale I am usually met with a smile from the wife and an aghast look from the husband. Don't get me wrong, I am not asking to remove the TV from every room in the house, … (24 comments)
st paul: My favorite spot in MN to watch Fireworks!
- 06/29/10 03:27 PM
There are a lot of awesome places to watch fireworks but the best by far in the Minneapolis/St. Paul area is The Liffy Irish Pub. As they call it "St. Paul's Spirited Irish Pub". Located across the street from the Xcel Energy Center and adjoining the Holiday Inn, The Liffy is a roof top pub with great food and great atmosphere. My favorite item on the menu is the Cheese Plate. It is not just two squares of cheese like most places, it is more cheese than you can eat and you may be taking some home. The chutney served with … (4 comments)
st paul: New Carpet or Carpet Allowance?
- 06/23/10 07:40 AM
New Carpet or Carpet Allowance? This is a question I face when I meet with clients to do a home staging consultation or any home staging service for their home. I find that most clients do not want to spend the money up front to buy new carpet much less have the hassle of moving all the furniture. It is easier for them to give a carpet allowance or reduce the price. I understand that but I cannot say I agree.What I find is that many times the buyer cannot get past the ugly or worn carpet. It sends an instant … (29 comments)
st paul: Let There Be Light - Literally!
- 06/18/10 08:34 AM
As a home stager my mantra is "let there be light". I cannot believe how many homes I walk into that have one overhead light in a room which has one 60 watt bulb in the fixture. I am not sure how they function with so little light but that is not my concern. My concern is getting their house sold and I tell them "you can never have too much light". Well, I suppose you can if it is a huge florescent fixture with four florescent bulbs but type of lighting is a whole other topic! Whether I am doing a home staging … (14 comments)
