Hello everyone! These photos really show the difference when listing your home for sale and hiring a home staging to make it all happen. All it takes is a couple of changes and Voila!  More inviting, cleaner and brighter.

This Condo as of April 25th,  has a couple of offers just after one week, and the property owners are deciding which one to choose! The listing is with Torelli Realty for $399k, located in Costa Mesa, CA. It features 3 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, great room / living, and eat-in kitchen and a patio right off the kitchen for entertaining.  It also has a very clean 2-car garage and a private front entrance.

Staged and Sold in 2 Days $45k Over Asking Price

October 15, 2012 by Leave a Comment

I had the opportunity to work with the investor who used his crew to renovate this property in Yorba Linda, CA. I am proud to be part of his crew for the home staging part; we work well together, he is very laid back but precise and trusts me for the design and the price he pays. I have all the accessories and working on building up my inventory of furniture. It’s always the same rooms to stage; Kitchen, Dining, Living rooms and baths.

This home is a 3 bedroom, 2 bath home with large rooms. The hall bath, and walk-in closest in the master was added during the reno, and a cedar fence and front stairs added to the exterior. The backyard has ample space for pets, parties and just hangin’ out.

The home is located in a neighborhood with horses, and lots of trees and beautiful streets.  This photo was taken during the reno mess which is the dining room looking out into the back patio.

Same Dining Room below after home staging.  I’ll include cleaning in my staging for an extra charge to my customer just because I’m a real detail and clean nut, and it’s one less step you have to worry about.  However, I don’t do windows which is a very, very important part of staging.

You can see part of the living area which was so big you could have fit a large sectional and 2 chairs in this area. There’s another photo below.

Contact a Home Stager in your area to create a selling property that will show the best in your neighborhood and price range.

Do You Include These Principles in your Home Design?

February 16, 2012 by Leave a Comment

Most Interior Designers know the Principles of Design, I’m not one, but I have an Interior Designer in my company and we talk about these principles now and then. We also use these principles in Home Staging design – or try to – and can make or break the design. These photos from other designers are right on in their Principles of Design!

Balance – a sense of visual weight of the elements. I like symmetrical – centered fireplace with two identical chairs facing each other, or this bedroom by Justin Lawson. Notice the side tables; it’s like a mirrored image. I just love this room.

Rhythm – a repetition of elements in a design scheme. Note the design by Kim Coleman where she repeats the squares in the bedpost onto the wall with the square mirror. Repetition can be done with color and visual interest, but the design must include a sense of unity.

 

 

 

 

Emphasis – elements in a design that are more significant than other features in a room. This is one of my favorites. In our home staging, we’ll take a favorite piece of art, furniture piece or wall covering and make it stand out from the other subordinate pieces. A room looks lifeless without emphasis from Interior Design Basics. The area rug pulls all of the other pieces together; could you imagine this room without the rug?

 

 

 

 

 

Scale – using an area rug, art or furniture selections that are too small. Very important in home staging too when there is no scale used in the overall room design. Your design will look weak. This look is complete.

 

 

 

 

Harmony – this is created by the design, itself. Unity and variety need to exist in a room to get harmony by using colors, textures, patterns and variety. All of these photos are excellent in a complete design feel.  Isn’t it a “feeling” when you find that perfect house on the market?
