Mid-Century Modern Home Staging in Historical Gastown, Vancouver I had fun staging this condo, located in the edgy, up-and-coming area of Gastown in downtown Vancouver. This area of Vancouver has become a mecca for upscale, modern furniture stores and local clothing designers. There's a real urban city feeling, and I delighted in playing up the suggestion of a chic, artsy lifestyle. I also wanted to create a Parisian apartment ambiance, and dotted little touches around the condo, such as an Eiffel tower, a book entitled My French Lifestyle, and artwork with "pomme" and "poire" written beneath the apple and pear, to give a sophisticated atmosphere.

Nancy - Thanks - it was a really fun job.
Liz - Je les adores aussi - vraiment chic, n'est-ce pas?
Lori Kim - Merci!
Cathy - I was trying to repeat the circles, since the counter was curved, and the pendant lights were round - the bedding was neutral AND had circles. The bar stools are great, because they're see-through, and visually don't take up space.

Sally,
Beautiful job. I am also attracted to French style. I love Paris and the Provence area.
I look forward to meeting you one day. We are only a 40 minute ferry ride away from each other. I am not going to Vegas, so it will be interesting to hear what you learned.

Hi Deena, Thanks! Actually, my photos aren't very good - My client just had a photographer take some photos of the place and they look so much better. i instantly thought of you. Yes, I am now the proud owner of several pieces of furniture. At first I thought I'd store them in my basement, but it's becoming evidently clear that it won't all fit. Now the dilemma is finding a storage facility and sucking up the monthly storage rental fees. Good grief. |

Thanks, Cynthia. The chairs were a bit of an investment, but hopefully they'll pay off in the end. Fingers crossed!
