We finally had the opportunity to get into the tallest building in Vancouver, the much talked about Shangri-La.  60 floors high, the views are absolutely spectacular of our fair city.  Panoramic views of Coal Harbour, Stanley Park and the Lionsgate Bridge, the North Shore mountains, English Bay and into False Creek. 

The staging was very minimal as the client wanted a light staging.  It didn't compete with the views so it wasn't too much of a compromise.

Note to self, when enjoying a soak in the beautiful master bath,                                               remember to close the blinds :-)

Hi Lisa, beautiful work, light staging was definitely the right route to take. The views are the selling feature here and you did enough to make it feel like home and still allow the view to take centre stage.

The views from this condo are amazing ... and your staging added just the right impact for potential buyers so that they could imagine living here while not distracting from the main selling features.  Hope it sells quickly!

Hi Lisa,

Wow, I would have loved to stage this unit! The views are fab, and will obviously be a big selling point. Light staging was the best direction to take - adding warmth and demarcating the seating areas, without blocking the light and views. You did a fantastic job!

Wanda - I love the bar stools too. Those are the Bertoia counter stools designed by sculptor Harry Bertoia in 1952 and part of the Bertoia seating collection. They are made out of steel rod and can be used indoors and even outdoors with proper care. Knoll is the manufacturer and they are available through DWR, Circa 50, Hivemodern, and several other furniture retailers : )

Beautiful job, Lisa! I had the same thought about the blinds in the bathroom. I've never seen a view like that from a bathtub, but that's the only view I'd want there to be!

Thank you for sharing photos of a tall, tall building, for those of us who don't live in cities with skyscrapers and view like this.  What a treat! Perfect staging for this modern condo.

Here is the testimonial from the client on the above property!  Happy client :-)

"I have sold many homes before but never tried professional staging so this time my family decided to give it a try and the outcome was outstanding. We will say this was our best move ever. Lisa and Jill did a job that far exceeded our expectations in many ways. Their attention to detail, reasonable pricing and ability to transform an empty space to a spectacular living area helped make potential buyers feel at home. We were able to sell our property above market price within 15 days in a market downturn. I would say this service is a must when it comes to selling real estate. I am looking forward to work with them again in the near future."  E Lui, Shangri-La
