Friday Faves- From disaster to amazing!

This was an overstuffed toy room disaster when clients called me a few months ago.













Now, it's a tranquil guest room retreat.  
We finished it just in time for the client's mom who plans to visit next week! 
(Thanks Deb Watson for the amazing faux painting!)

Happy Weekend.







Friday Faves:

Years ago I owned a home where I spent hours and hours developing and caring for what eventually became a beautiful garden. Only recently have I discovered how much I really miss it.

I'm not an outdoorsy camping kinda girl, but I truly enjoy being and entertaining outdoors. There is something about being entirely and completely enveloped in the warmth, color, texture and peace of planting flowers and tending a garden that, for me, is as relaxing as laying on a chaise on the beach.

Friday Faves: Outdoor Spaces

Finally- warmer weather is easing it's way to the East Coast and has me thinking about my pathetic back yard.  I love being outdoors as much as possible when the weather is warm, but who wants to spend a fortune on a rental?

These are some of my favorite outdoor spaces that are giving me inspiration.

Staging 101: Why it Matters

I love a good before and after story. One of the things I love about my job is getting to participate in the success of those stories almost everyday. We recently helped clients by staging their home so they could sell and move on to the golden years of life.

We initially met these clients in December to provide guidance and advise as they worked with an organizer to downsize. By end of February, the house has been cleared out, carpets replaced, hardwood floors refinished, wallpaper removed and walls freshly painted so we  could put our staging design plan into action.  Moving is never easy and preparing a house to show in its best light can be stressful. There is always more to be done than you initially anticipate.









The results are ALWAYS worth it!  This wonderful house received an offer 24 hrs after listing with staging.
