Attention To Detail - Staging

When selling a house, it is all about paying attention to the details.  Of course, the obvious is to clean the house better than ever, and continue to clean and dust until it sells.  But, when staging, look for opportunities to create a good mood.  I had a client that had a little fire pit; he also took down a tree that was ugly and dying.  We chopped the tree down and split it into pieces and stacked them neatly next to the fireplace.  The buyer loved the ambiance and ended up putting in an offer and asked that the fire pit and wood stay.  We of course obliged considering the wood was free and the fire pit was about $40.  Can you believe it? $40 to make a sale of hundreds of thousands of dollars!  When you stage right, it makes all the difference.  Below is an example of how a bit of stacked wood can help define a space and create a mood.

New Trend Alert, What do you Think?

So, I get updates from other designers about what is hot and this is a new trend.  I'm not sure that I am sold just quite yet on the marbleized look but keep your eyes out, you may start seeing it!  Btw, I like the table in the picture but it's the wall that I'm not sure about.

Master Bedroom & Master Bathroom Remodel


My most recent client needed to change a house to make it work better for her mother.  Below is the design that they decided on.  I absolutely love to see my clients so excited and happy with the results.  They never dreamed the room could look they way it does.  The best part is, that as a Realtor in Phoenix, Arizona, I know that the house will sell much easier for them down the road if it ever becomes an option.  Check out the new and improved spacious bedroom, walk-in closet and spacious bathroom with walk-in shower.

Is your space "Shabby" or "Shabby Chic"?

Make sure when your re-purposing or using items that are worn, weathered, antique or otherwise don't look new,  that your pairing it with items that keep your space feeling fresh and clean.  Without "Chic" complimenting your design, all your left with is "Shabby" and shabby doesn't sell.
