The "FUNGALO" went pending in 18 hours OVER ASKING PRICE

By
Home Stager with On Stage home staging and redesign co. Portland, OR.

Even in this market, things seem to sell quickly.  This was a great North Portland bungalo we called "THE FUNGALO".  She needed a little TLC on the outside, but the inside was pure 1940's.  Original kitchen and bath tiles with those quirky colors made for a fun job.  The agent called On Stage for this job which had to happen in a quick time frame: 1 day from appointment to finished job.  This property was a great find in a close-in neighborhood.  Here are some before and after photos:

Well Julia:  I get those canvas pieces out of LA.  I have a large assortment of them mostly contemporary but a few transitional.  I buy them wholesale which makes them a great value...

Maureen:  The agent normally likes bright/fun colors, so she is always fun to work with....

Diana:  When I was looking for art to buy, I always look for things that will bring instant color to a space.  It is fun to shop for stagging inventoory because you can let loose and have fun..

Kimberley:  The house was quite small in scale, but by adding furniture: as you know, always makes a space feel much larger....  There was no time for a party...   :(

Cogratulations on the quick sale and great staging job.  I too love those canvases.  Since I'm just a few miles north of LA County, would you mind giving me the name of the place you purchased them.  Thanks!

Kate:  Whenever possible, I try to make the color flow throughout a project.  It helps unify the whole space....

Patti:  I love these canvases because they are light weight and also fill a large space....

It looks like a HAPPY home.....and that art made the space POP!  And I too love the light weight that canvas art brings....sure helps when I'm at the end of the project and hanging the art (and always a little/very tired!).

Love the art work. They really made an impact in your rooms. You really made a 40's house suit today.
