2009 Tour of Homes in Bend, Oregon

When designing a house for the Tour of Homes in Bend, Oregon (for my company Garnish Home Staging and Design- www.garnishLLC.com) I am very careful to not narrow down the audience so much that it will alienate certain audiences.  My goal is to make the "feel" of the house as universal as possible.  While home staging, it is important not to narrow down the style. The biggest goal that I have is to make people feel really warm and comfortable in the space.  My relatives in Europe don't have the newest designer furniture pieces, and yet when they put pieces together, it always has such a great warmth and integrity to it, it doesn't matter.  This is what home staging is all about!
