Can a Person Tell Your Personality by Your Home?

Dining Room Design

What do YOU like in home decor and choosing accessories? You know it’s all based on your personality – your favorite colors, your style, your interests, how many kids, and so on…

I’m sure you have favorite stores for accessories, art, linens, furniture, rugs, etc.  It’s all how you think about it. Some can live with very minimal accessories and some people like to live in a lot of “stuff”.

DC Redesign likes to shop for home staging and design products at many stores that even  may be on your list.

World Market has a very good selection and many promotional sales for rugs, chairs, art, pillows, and bathroom and kitchen accessories. I would suggest signing up for their Perks Program and get additional discounts. All you have to do is provide your telephone number at checkout and you’re done.

I love Pier 1. The dining set and the art in the above photo is from Pier !.  They always have very helpful store assistants to find you some of their really great accessories, candles from their line (which are on sale every month in a different scent), and the accent pillows are very unique.

If you haven’t heard of TPT Home in Costa Mesa, CA, you’ve  got to check it out. It’s a huge store with lots of stuff in the nooks and crannies of the store so allow yourself an hour or more to shop!

Kitchen Accessory Idea

Kitchen Accessory Idea

Psychology is used for color, design and placing  accessories and furniture. This is what determines why some buyers go nuts over some homes, and know it’s the house for them.

“Personality is the strongest predictor of satisfaction with life; some people have everything and are never satisfied and some people have next-to-nothing and seem quite happy with life.” Read about “Can People’s Personalities Change?” at PsyBlog, Understand Your mind.

It’s not just what you have that makes you satisfied or happy, it’s how you think about it. And those habits of thought are heavily influenced by personality. What makes you happy?

Paint – The Easiest Way to Update Your Home

August 7, 2012 by Leave a Comment

Paint is one of the easiest and inexpensive decorating tools around. I know I’ve painted my entire home more than once, and spray paint anything; lamp bases, matting around pictures, frames, statues, clear glass vases and plastic lawn chairs.  I would love to paint the tiles on my fireplace, so DIY network lists the steps below.

1. Sand with 150 grit sandpaper to improve adhesion

2. Clean the tile surfaces with TSP (trisodium phosphate) or other non-residue cleaner.

3. Paint using a top quality acrylic primer, and finish with semi-gloss acrylic interior paint. If you want you can even paint the grout a contrasting color but you’ll need a steady hand.

4. Allow the paint to cure for 10 days to 2 weeks before using the surfaces. It’s not suggested to paint tile floors, there’s just too much traffic and abrasion.

This is the photo BEFORE the painting decision. What do you think? I want to brighten up my living room.  Another choice would be to adhere small glass tiles over the existing tiles.

I can’t remove the tiles that are here; because I tried and the concrete chips off when I remove the existing tiles. I’ll have to check in with DIY Network for the tiling info next.

If you would like to include painting in your home staging redesign, DC Redesign has added services of painting or wallpapering.

Are You Self-Centered?

July 13, 2012 by Leave a Comment

Hi everyone! We all can be a little self-centered at times. When I found this tool it made me curious how I appear to my prospects and customers on DC Redesign Home Staging website. I felt good that my Customer Focus Rate came out as 61.54% using 32 customer-focused words. I’m working on getting that percentage higher even though it was rated excellent.  Customer Focus Rate also mentions how many times your company is written in your website pages and posts. Mine came up zero. The bottom line? I speak about customers and prospects 2 times as often as I speak of myself.  Check it out; it’s so important that we talk about who really matters!

My goal is to solve your problems in selling your home. Whether it’s Redesign, hands-on staging with furniture and accessories or conceptual photos of the rooms you choose to have digitally designed, You and Your home has my best interest. No games, only honest information. Being a member of the RESA (Real Estate Staging Assn.) since 2007 has given all stagers support and the best practices in the Business of Home Staging.
