Redmond offer...

We are absolutely pleased to report that the home in Redmond was completed and listed on Friday, May 29th. We were in Mexico when we received a call that there would be a showing at 1pm the same day. That same evening and offer was submited and after negotiations the house in now PENDING! YAHOOOOOOO!

Completed Redmond Stage...

Beautifully nested Redmond, Washington home.

Previously this room had maroon walls and a "naked" table. Now the area looks ready for formal entertaining.

This bedroom was purple and green and packed full of "stuff" prior to staging.

This room had white couches and white walls prior to staging.

The homeowners blue couches from this room were moved upstairs into their bonus space and these white couches were moved into their family room from their formal living space. I used my orange accents to bring in the color and warm things-up a bit. The room was painted as well as the bricks around the fireplace.

Vacant room...added a bed and a few accessories.

Same room as above.

This room was almost empty. I had their couches from downstairs moved upstairs and created a practical family space.

The kitchen was painted and cleaned-up, little organization and a few small accessories to bring in color. I have added a slide show to the right.

I finished this house today, May 17th. I chose two different shades of a neutral cover to be painted throughout the house. I brought in several of my own decorating accessories and a few pieces of my own furniture. I had movers move several pieces of furniture in to different rooms of the home - there was a lot of re-arranging. The powder room and master bathroom were completely remodeled with new cabinetry and granite-slab countertops and mirrors/molding.

The homeowners still live in this home and are currently on vacation. I wonder if they'll recognize their own house when they get back...I hope they like it!

Redmond Stage Update...

"BEFORE" pictures are below. Thank you for visiting. The Master bath remodel is in it's final stage and the interior paint is done as of tomorrow. I will be updating my photos within the next week with "AFTER" shots. Please visit again soon.

Next Stage- Redmond Home

Terry recently picked-up this listing in Redmond, Washington. 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. We're hoping to list this home in mid-May. Here are the "BEFORE" photos...

Mercer Island Property Pending!

Great news...an offer has been made and after negotiations our Mercer Island property is currently STI (Subject to Inspection). Thank you everyone for your continued support. With these two listing off the market stay tuned for more staging photos from our next two listings!

Lakemont, Issaquah-area home has SOLD!

Thank you to friends and family and anyone else checking-out my staging blog. We are happy to report that the Issaquah home is currently PENDING.

The Mercer Island home has seen a lot of activity in January and traffic is still picking-up.

Lakemont Community, Issaquah, Washington

This spacious home has a fully remodeled master bathroom. 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. 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.

Here is a view from the entrance. The nook is a great spot to cozy-up with a book and a cup of coffee.

The kitchen is where I really had the opportunity to use the orange accents because of my inventory. I first decided on orange when I found the orange sunflower...this was my inspiration.

The wall above the fireplace was paintd a soft "oat-wheat" color and the orange accent picture really helps to bring the focus to the fireplace which is a highly sought-after addition to any home.

The formal entry was painted a soft "yellow-downy" color. Just enough to brighten the space and allow the white woodwork and wainscoat to "pop." Using dark espresso furniture really helps expose some of the homes best features in the designer woodwork and paint.
