...with apologies to Julie Andrews...

And my most sincere wishes for the love and light of the season to be with you and yours. 

2011 is going to be GREAT-can't wait!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  

 

 

Curtains on windows, and high-wattage light bulbs;

 

 

 

Organized closets and de-cluttered tables

 

 

 

 

Groupings   of artwork to balance the space-

These are a few of my favorite tips!

 

 

 

 

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

   

 

Fresh new toss pillows, and crisp matching linens;

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Floor plans and color schemes that are pleasing to others    

   

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Kid's toys that stay in their place-AT ALL TIMES-

 

 

 

 

 

These are some more of my favorite tips!

~~~~~~~~~

 

 

When the Dow's down- 

When the market stinks-

When you NEED to sell-

Re-member, a Stager can help save the day-

And then you won't feel so bad!!!

Our spaces affect us profoundly...and so many other parts in our life fall into place when our spaces and possessions serve us in the best way they can. But getting there is much more than a pursuit of pleasing aesthetics.

 

Decorating and Staging are different, but much of the skill sets overlap, and each creates unique solutions that considers the needs, goals, resources, expectations, hopes and dreams of each client.

Bettering Westchester, Putnam and lower Fairfield counties since 1981, The Refreshed Home works collaboratively, and brings a thoughtful approach to the creative process. Proud to make a difference, as well as make a living. Offering specialty services such as remote and buyer consults, listing photo/video styling, guided and accompanied shopping, and accessory rental. We get in, get out, and you get on with your life.  Talk to me TODAY about how we can better your space!

Stagers have definetly added another positive aspect to selling homes. The help to real estate agents who are not interior designers is invaluable.

Marie ~ no apologies needed.  I actually sang along!  It was great, my voice being in tune was NOT!

Thanks Jeff-the more agents that keep talking about staging, the better it is for us all!

Dawn-be careful, that tune can really wedge itself into your brain :>

Phil-you wear the lederhosen, and we'll work on it together

Debbie-thanks, it's fun to have fun!

Renee-some were from the internet, but very sadly, some were actual listing photos!!

Hi Marie - This is fun! And you're right about that tune wedging itself into my brain. I'm getting up and RUNNING to turn on the stereo with something else on!
