I removed neutral pillows and added some orange to liven things up a bit. I also added some color with the candles and arrangements on the mantel and removed items that made the mantel appear cluttered and drew the eye to the clutter instead of the room's natural focus, the fireplace and sky-high ceilings. The furniture in this room was not centered, just a little bit of maneuvering and everything is now in balance.</div><br /><div>This home is located in Fall City, Washington. The former Seattle Seahawk and his family brought most of their personal belongings when they moved-out but they left their furniture behind along with a few accessories. Our contractor came in and did an amazing job removing personalized wall paper in previous children's bedrooms, painting, touching-up minor flaws and getting this home ready for the staging process.<br /><br /></div><div>I was able to come in with several bins of accessories and a few small furniture items to add some splashes of color around the home. I enjoyed manipulating furniture slightly to make the home more inviting and well-balanced. I also used several of the owners items and moved things around, suchas, decor, floral arrangements, plants and trees to create more space where it was needed but add a bit of the outdoors to otherwise boring rooms. </div><br /><br /><div><br /></div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjR-3QoCMeHdMdp8Lbi_A7JRnY69RweMS4Ey91EZ7-4e6Z40Tbz3ZvtV5eqkAQD4VAr2klJ0rtWhqX9v15ymMUjHsgWcdMDMy9QJTHbFKsx2W5_82JX3ANXxH_K92quQk391W9x9gp_W2nt/s1600-h/DSC_0022_3_4.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 268px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5440150185703077890" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjR-3QoCMeHdMdp8Lbi_A7JRnY69RweMS4Ey91EZ7-4e6Z40Tbz3ZvtV5eqkAQD4VAr2klJ0rtWhqX9v15ymMUjHsgWcdMDMy9QJTHbFKsx2W5_82JX3ANXxH_K92quQk391W9x9gp_W2nt/s400/DSC_0022_3_4.jpg" /></a> I removed some items from this space to make it more clean and inviting.

I like adding color with like-real fruits and allowing for potencial buyers to be better-able to envision themselves in the home.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEix-KMkxOxhbkPaGV6oi7FNGLWx3BZc6fnxMpwywimOm0AilhEMcHS2VRt981t9OqJw8xvw8WxTHp9M6f3nQw-dPdpIbTOBNrXzUJkE3p2HEoqUalP5zYbzmJ5kGl5tphvZR7izCa1cdIVW/s1600-h/DSC_0061_2_3.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 268px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5440149914120585442" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEix-KMkxOxhbkPaGV6oi7FNGLWx3BZc6fnxMpwywimOm0AilhEMcHS2VRt981t9OqJw8xvw8WxTHp9M6f3nQw-dPdpIbTOBNrXzUJkE3p2HEoqUalP5zYbzmJ5kGl5tphvZR7izCa1cdIVW/s400/DSC_0061_2_3.jpg" /></a> Family rooms are always fun. I kept it neutral but still warmed-thing up a bit by adding an ottoman, blanket, serving tray and accessories. I also used my gold and green pillows to simply add a touch of color. This room became much more inviting with these small touches. I also moved furniture to be closer to the TV and fireplace to make the space more practical.<br /><br /><br /><div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQfT3h_OxOJrGKDz7a99mJrKC_JSevYSXPee5-V8migJHB5VJXWfzgyATjfFMTTIfughpUUARQOd2w1J7EtUk4cstMLzMHhaO2JajNmsflFYRmB9fayGG1Lm08_Z1BSQC5Okpc_MoCLRwO/s1600-h/DSC_0100_1_2.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 268px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5440149897413692418" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQfT3h_OxOJrGKDz7a99mJrKC_JSevYSXPee5-V8migJHB5VJXWfzgyATjfFMTTIfughpUUARQOd2w1J7EtUk4cstMLzMHhaO2JajNmsflFYRmB9fayGG1Lm08_Z1BSQC5Okpc_MoCLRwO/s400/DSC_0100_1_2.jpg" /></a><br />The master bedroom. We brought in the bed from my staging inventory and used all of my accessories for this space. I did however, pull the hallway rug into this room to use at the foot of the bed because it was such a great match and added a little flavor and depth to the room. Red is so romantic.<br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhV4lh8eoN5bV3fgcEV2XqMEYp8nyWOLd9LJMdPXZ6rJqbPm6ZtPIP-SDI_YdhaFpeuKgIdW_iZ2zrgMQ7rH3AUHaH4aWR3dg3m28wGk0z9Z-qBABg-GvPmmzciuePjCBr9-t9wcjr2fJVv/s1600-h/DSC_0106_7_8E.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 268px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5440149894811284194" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhV4lh8eoN5bV3fgcEV2XqMEYp8nyWOLd9LJMdPXZ6rJqbPm6ZtPIP-SDI_YdhaFpeuKgIdW_iZ2zrgMQ7rH3AUHaH4aWR3dg3m28wGk0z9Z-qBABg-GvPmmzciuePjCBr9-t9wcjr2fJVv/s400/DSC_0106_7_8E.jpg" /></a> Simple colorful touches to an already beautiful master bathroom.<br /><br />I have added a slide show of "BEFORE" AND "AFTER" photos in the righthand column at the top. Enjoy, and thank you for visiting. I'm pretty certain you'll be able to tell which photos are before the stage and which are after the stage.

This stage required me to use the owners furniture and much of their own decorative items and accessories. I did bring in some of my own items, including some artwork, small accessories, a couch and 3 bar stools.<br /><br />This is a large 4th bedroom/bonus upstairs. It is currently used by the owners for home-schooling. We asked the owner to clear-out several bins and keep only what is NEEDED for teaching in the room. We rearranged furniture and organized the room a bit.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj61LfNh4vPcnK5W-ivDuBczuyPQ3aUiJMW_chN2wL1h2neMfG27vQmXukGsBsRaBbwXLlECkSWNg4ZqIcaK7sp_hEHaTs1NDYCINjIb05CNYBL-iQTK74wNztwF2I_rCHScfISeI974ovX/s1600-h/Sheffey+Stage+Completed+039.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 320px; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5404400456151653458" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj61LfNh4vPcnK5W-ivDuBczuyPQ3aUiJMW_chN2wL1h2neMfG27vQmXukGsBsRaBbwXLlECkSWNg4ZqIcaK7sp_hEHaTs1NDYCINjIb05CNYBL-iQTK74wNztwF2I_rCHScfISeI974ovX/s320/Sheffey+Stage+Completed+039.JPG" /></a><br />AFTER<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgW-oz6XiitHhFLsBB27FEZnchv8W2Ib-L_ErajuZZZ5-xf4wEyzQZ44zZDOitrYJAJKZQFawP81FbyqqciEZgdncQZA1UsbKrUZDgj3X2bwYdmuo-ZjP84OKalFlWMqHZOV3yz-Kgvg3g2/s1600-h/DSCF8505.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 320px; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5404400108621935778" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgW-oz6XiitHhFLsBB27FEZnchv8W2Ib-L_ErajuZZZ5-xf4wEyzQZ44zZDOitrYJAJKZQFawP81FbyqqciEZgdncQZA1UsbKrUZDgj3X2bwYdmuo-ZjP84OKalFlWMqHZOV3yz-Kgvg3g2/s320/DSCF8505.JPG" /></a><br />Master BEFORE<br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjygQH1q_bD-Z3VR8uLxqOaESA3OpfRANAyHve1qKVXdadJhl8hXV7lUrtpYB20Qs4dCctQhkqeg9UtkiZ4CMGeNO0Pe-Cu5xUg5qEWaF8PaKL4liZhZfRIpmfbDoEi08JaVgHp_KYwCUgR/s1600-h/Sheffey+Stage+Completed+022.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 320px; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5404400104868832690" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjygQH1q_bD-Z3VR8uLxqOaESA3OpfRANAyHve1qKVXdadJhl8hXV7lUrtpYB20Qs4dCctQhkqeg9UtkiZ4CMGeNO0Pe-Cu5xUg5qEWaF8PaKL4liZhZfRIpmfbDoEi08JaVgHp_KYwCUgR/s320/Sheffey+Stage+Completed+022.JPG" /></a><br />AFTER. We brought the beautiful long mirror that was leaning against a wall in the dining room to the master bedroom. Large mirrors make make a room look bigger and it filled this space nicely. We also removed the ottoman from this room and used it in the family room. It really opened-up some space in the master. We rearranged the bedding a bit, and voila, a cozy, comfy, and romantic space.<br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhexaHNQed9BsR9Aai2oVt6tAY8k52BgfQ5C65g7Gv5f210m21jA2ooXa6F2wxk3KJhw9Qg2aSQpiSbcq3RStprgE9RJg4Agq9bVqoms5jzCpZLXo8FpuaXA3544DvKduG-toWJkiOsvWkp/s1600-h/DSCF8529.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 320px; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5404400098647797650" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhexaHNQed9BsR9Aai2oVt6tAY8k52BgfQ5C65g7Gv5f210m21jA2ooXa6F2wxk3KJhw9Qg2aSQpiSbcq3RStprgE9RJg4Agq9bVqoms5jzCpZLXo8FpuaXA3544DvKduG-toWJkiOsvWkp/s320/DSCF8529.JPG" /></a><br />Lots and lots of storage but a room with too much "stuff" filling all the space can actually make it appear that there isn't enough storage in the home.

This is such a great spot to throw-in those punches of color. In a "staged" home the idea is to return all the walls to neutral and target the broadest audience (potential buyers). However, I like to find fun ways to throw in color and in staging I do this withe my accessories. <br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwMoPYa9WTDN_uGjgUJOpvbIrgZ-YrYqr7O1_KcgXc5hB9OPCvFs1GwBoGKNk0Ro9hqDDrKFqv3Ir50p4vd8e9wKN6HX_UtjT6qdl39Rld6CaatIK-KLiOxdaypkNPJIlQpWxgBTNRrpya/s1600-h/Linton+Stage+in+progress+017.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5382684307237962450" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwMoPYa9WTDN_uGjgUJOpvbIrgZ-YrYqr7O1_KcgXc5hB9OPCvFs1GwBoGKNk0Ro9hqDDrKFqv3Ir50p4vd8e9wKN6HX_UtjT6qdl39Rld6CaatIK-KLiOxdaypkNPJIlQpWxgBTNRrpya/s400/Linton+Stage+in+progress+017.JPG" /></a> This is a new color-scheme I've added to my collection.

Though I have been working exlusively with our team, The James Real Estate Group (<a href="http://www.jamesregroup.com/">http://www.jamesregroup.com/</a>) since November of last year, I am opening the doors to FSBO's (For Sale- By Owner). If you or someone you know would like a "staging consultation" please contact me at <a href="mailto:ShereeJ@JamesREgroup.com">ShereeJ@JamesREgroup.com</a>. I will be happy to discuss with you the purpose of home staging and all of it's benefits. We have had a tremendous amount of success this past year in a very difficult market. With a very dedicated team and some of the best marketing strategies known to Real Estate, the James Real Estate Group will get your house sold with little or no work for you. Please browse my blog freely. Realize that the latest post are "BEFORE" photos only. This home is just getting ready to undgo renovations. Staging is the final step prior to listing a home, therefore, "AFTER" photos are still a bit ahead of us. However, I have included two slideshows of previous "stages" at the top right column of this blog. You may click on the slideshow to view photos up close. Thank you so much for taking the time to view my work.

We will again be remodeling the master bathroom and I will assist in designing the layout and choosing everything from accessories to tile, granite and belly-band design. I'm in the process of choosing neutral paints to cover the current colors in the home. After my recent walk-through I have created a "staging profile" for the client and have made many suggestions as to getting their home ready to sell. After the homeowners have cleaned and cleared-out several things I will go in with my accessories and some of my furniture to help market the best assets of this home.

It was so much fun choosing tile to compliment the granite (the client had chosen). I also chose the accents and helped design the belly-band in the tile. We couldn't be happier with the final outcome of this bathroom.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNFKM-S-6Pxj9UI5jsdqaviLEpVHc34KzMIx91b0F_Vwn1xD6yz33-y21BdDBxPFtLwPAvMmLIjbCfxB2C7EhVuu1TEtqt2j_3BGbX21GewiFw4je_o_Ek-6r3W7xfoH6MPd9AFCLpIZWF/s1600-h/DSC_0065_6_7.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5276794129806442642" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 134px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNFKM-S-6Pxj9UI5jsdqaviLEpVHc34KzMIx91b0F_Vwn1xD6yz33-y21BdDBxPFtLwPAvMmLIjbCfxB2C7EhVuu1TEtqt2j_3BGbX21GewiFw4je_o_Ek-6r3W7xfoH6MPd9AFCLpIZWF/s200/DSC_0065_6_7.jpg" border="0" /></a> After choosing neutral colors for paint throughout the house, I was especially excited about staging the master bedroom. I decided to use punches of orange around the house and felt that it accented each room nicely, especially in this master-oasis. The sage green brought warmth and a sense of the outdoors-inside.<br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5SEUHI930_t2X7YCAEczQHA-OpBAuhHjR5xRfs-gIhaFMwz_BFZ8PxkZ4Mpe0R3nc_PAsSMpquOLRl7oYjxNheFTlNuwsyuhaPuDdZOiv0zNx452_s2znc977VKfY-FU8jrOrJhaQdc55/s1600-h/DSC_0056_7_8.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5276794123119386386" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 134px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5SEUHI930_t2X7YCAEczQHA-OpBAuhHjR5xRfs-gIhaFMwz_BFZ8PxkZ4Mpe0R3nc_PAsSMpquOLRl7oYjxNheFTlNuwsyuhaPuDdZOiv0zNx452_s2znc977VKfY-FU8jrOrJhaQdc55/s200/DSC_0056_7_8.jpg" border="0" /></a><br />Here is a view from the entrance.

I started exploring some pages online and came across some photos that I really liked. I decided to share these photos in a slideshow to give you an idea of my personal taste. I think every stager knows that preparing a home to put on the market means neutralizing, however everyone has their own "taste" and I like to always add a dab of color using accents. Right now the "on-trend" colors are aqua blue with shades of green and greens and blues with reds and oranges.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5519535036032860388.post-60883360623693431912008-11-06T19:18:00.000-08:002008-11-06T19:44:59.479-08:00Current Project- What a difference paint can make...<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWYGMUg1Nf7TUiZpmKdNhtvg0O0hyTcts_tRFJb1soeNkN2BJQviTT_UFI_RRkSuz2o5wxQeWw_bv_86tjyvZy2XslQEYe5kcWzOi1MsHPDBu_fUG3aYQ3Cn7Buf8Cvaanver8vRekTdP1/s1600-h/Moore+house+009.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5265754817400676962" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWYGMUg1Nf7TUiZpmKdNhtvg0O0hyTcts_tRFJb1soeNkN2BJQviTT_UFI_RRkSuz2o5wxQeWw_bv_86tjyvZy2XslQEYe5kcWzOi1MsHPDBu_fUG3aYQ3Cn7Buf8Cvaanver8vRekTdP1/s200/Moore+house+009.jpg" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwKO4RdT6xC1l0FQww4CViZWQQ3ikGNHy5y0syTo1jou7EnGAQSvP9MmU7P3T11xxGmTLuOMaGky2yRcGStKe8dVLeMOgr5Hvcgu9IYhejo9lORB8fVXXCrA1ekA2VjKowvVZgfynw5MgP/s1600-h/Master+BR.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5265755010271343810" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwKO4RdT6xC1l0FQww4CViZWQQ3ikGNHy5y0syTo1jou7EnGAQSvP9MmU7P3T11xxGmTLuOMaGky2yRcGStKe8dVLeMOgr5Hvcgu9IYhejo9lORB8fVXXCrA1ekA2VjKowvVZgfynw5MgP/s200/Master+BR.jpg" border="0" /></a> Here, I have taken a blank slate and made the master bedroom warm and inviting simply by adding a little paint. Remember that neutral when staging is important, but "neutral" does not mean white. Safe neutral colors in a bedroom are beige-creams, soft gray, and sage green. This home has not yet been "staged."

In some way, shape or form- I have been surrounded by Real Estate. See, my Dad has been a Realtor and has been running an appraisal business for decades. My sister and her husband went into the business after studying and working under my Dad. I have seen cousins get into the mix (working for Dad). After my sister and I were out of the house and on to starting our own families my Mom even joined the Real Estate Team. I've been with my husband for 12 years now. For most of those years he has been in the Mortgage business and is now a realtor himself. And what about me? Well I chose to go the route of education. I wanted to work with kids and use my second language...Spanish. Um, good experience, but bad choice. I have wonderful memories but unfortunately for me, I did not enjoy the job. At times it was rewarding, but face it, I wasn't cut-out to teach High School kids at 22 years old.<br /><br />For as long as I can remember I've been considered a pretty creative person. I always soaked everything in as I watched my Mom around the house. I supose that is where I got my neatness, cleanliness, and organizational skills from...lucky me! But everyone has a God-given talent, right? When I was young it was my athleticism. Now that, well, I'm not so young, what is it? For so many years I just thought my total passion for decorating and reading and viewing Home Magazines was just a "hobby." Something that was "fun." And for years and years friends and family would ask me why I didn't get into interior design. I think I just always thought of it as my Mom's "thing." Well, I finally decided that after the experience of re-organizing, decluttering, and decorating homes of friends, family and even my own homes - it was time for me to get into staging. It was the best of both my talents (organization and decorating) and something I can manage while being home with my children. I get to advise people on how to make their own home look its best prior to being put on the market. Some of these people will even hire me to come into their homes, reorganize their furniture and decorate (to some extent). Why would I pass-up this opportunity?<br /><br />I first had to acknowledge that this wasn't just something that was fun for me, but something that I could really do and be successful at...and who doesn't enjoy success? Then I decided to stop by the bookstore and read whatever I could about Home Staging. Then I researched some courses online and found that one doesn't even need an education to be a "Stager." Infact, as of now there is only Accredidation for those interested in staging. Therefore, I decided that instead of just going into the business without anything, I'd rather have something. Afterall, it will be more professional to do what I can when it comes to presenting myself to clients. So I received my certification online and that's how I became a Home Stager.<br /><br />My experience comes from organizing and decorating (including painting) several homes and advising friends and family on what they can do to make their home more comfortable for their lifestyle. I've received rave reviews.<br /><br />So, How? Read books, view magazines, be creative by nature and get your accredidation.<br /><br />Why? Because you love to do it and you're good at it. There are a lot of people out there that take the course because they are in the Real Estate business...but they don't really love it and definately are not good at it.<br /><br />When? When YOU are ready! Remember, there are start-up fees for stagers...make sure you're prepared to pay for the course and begin your own accessory collection.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0
