2012 - My Favorite Home Staging for New Construction - Home Staging and Redesign Minneapolis, MN 

 

At the end of each year I like to look back and think about the projects I have worked on. I had some that were great, some that were easy, some that were tough and of course I had my favorite and memorable projects. 

At the completion of each project I always have so much fun that I think it is my favorite project but upon reflection there are three that really stood out for me in 2012.

The three projects that stand out are:

1) Favorite Home Staging for New Construction.

2) Favorite Redesign Project and,

3) Most Meaningful Project

So here is the first of my three '2012 Year In Review' posts!

My 'Favorite  'Home Staging for New Construction' was not your typical new construction in an all new development in the suburbs. This one was in the heart of the city in an area known for it's great restaurants and shopping near the "50th and France" area of Minneapolis.

Here is what I saw on my visit to the property:

The house was done in white on white which I love. When I met with the owner he told me he had a vision while designing the home which was the lakes of MN. The blues of the water, the sand of the shores, the peace and calm of the scenery

Although Home Staging is not decorating, I wanted to do what I could to incorporate his vision for the project as it was close to his heart. 

I think the pictures will tell a thousand words of why this was my favorite new construction project. 

 

An incredible entryway to greet you:

I love working on Home Staging for New Construction projects but this one is at the top of my list. I think you can see why. 

 

Stay tuned for my next post: Favorite Redesign of 2012!

I like the color you added with the lovely furnishings.  The clean lines and color work well with the architecture. I am a fan of soft neutral wall colors.

The end of the year is always my favorite when it comes to work.  Although I tally numbers and evaluate/revaluate throughout the year, it's not until the middle to end of December where you can really stand back and admire your work.  Congratulations on a successful year!

Merry Christmas Cara and thank you. 

The teal ended up adding that pop while as well as tying in the water and peaceful feel that the investor wanted. Thanks for stopping by Sharon.

Thanks so much Roger!

I do my own photos Lynda. Louisville huh? Maybe...:)

It was so fun to work on Joan. And thank you. 

It was a very successful year Lee and it is great to look back on it.

Shar - You really created the feeling of ocean and sand through colours, textures, the ship in the painting, the style of the furnishings...  I can see why this is your favourite new-build stage - it's simply gorgeous!

I took the shots Michael. Still learning but I am getting better! Compared to my first ones 8 years ago...much better. LOL

Thank you Sally. I know....that sail boat was perfect as MN has over 10,000 lakes and sailing is a big past time. Thank you for noticing! You must be a stager. ;)

I think the buyers were very lucky to get his home Valerie! Love the kitchen too. Thanks much.

Thanks Sharon, it was so fun to work on and the investor who built it was great to work with. 

I think everyone loves that kitchen Rebecca...I love the open shelves in the DR as well.
