In-Home Redesign Consultations

We will work with you while recommending cost-effective, sustainable living ideas and changes.  We will survey your space and analyze your room's current function, placement of furniture, art and accessories, and discuss how your family lives in your home.  We will provide you with creative interior design techniques, color consultation, and space planning to achieve this.  If deciding upon on a color scheme, paint samples will be brought in for you to see to help you determine complimentary colors.  Now you have a plan and a suggested shopping list to get you on your way to a beautiful room.  You can complete the changes on your own or schedule us for an interior makeover.
 


Home Staging Consultations


We will assess each room by doing a thorough walk-through,  looking for each room's best features and areas of concern.   As we evaluate the rooms we'll take detailed notes and lots of photos.  During that time, we will discuss some things we can do to help highlight your home and all its wonderful features.  We want your home to stand apart from all others, affordably and quickly. 

 

 

Interior Redesign & "Up-Cycling" «

 

The room in your home to be made over is emptied with the exception of large pieces, and painted (if needed).  If you'd like us to provide painting services, just ask.  The furniture and accessories are then placed back in the room one item at a time using principles of scale and balance.  With your permission, we “shop” the remainder of the home to supplement the room’s décor.  Upon completion, we will provide a recommended list of any additional finishing touches to complete the makeover.  You won't believe the difference a room makeover can make in your home!
 

 

Custom Sewing

 

Let us help you bring color and texture into your home or office space.  If it can be sewn, we can sew it for you.  No job is too small because we know how those little things can make a huge difference sometimes in our lives.  Let us know what your needs are and we'll do everything we can to help.

Staging with Written Evaluations

 

Are you a Do-It-Yourself type person?  If you have a good start on getting your home prepared to be put on the market, then this is the plan for you!  After a comprehensive walk-through, we provide you and/or your Realtor with a detailed written evaluation and checklist for “staging” and preparing each room of your home.  Let us assist you in editing your possessions so buyers can imagine themselves living in your home .  This detailed evaluation will show you how you can effectively present each room in your home to look its best.   Our suggestions may include repairs, furniture additions/subtractions, color and paint selections, shopping ideas, and ideas for enhanced curb appeal.   

 

Open House Weekend

 

After your home has been staged, we will help you prepare for that first open house. We will come in and "fluff" each room in the home.  We'll purchase fresh flowers to add color, bring in that fresh-baked smell, and make sure the home is set up to present a great first impression for buyers to view.  We'll purchase what's needed and bill separately for supplies.   We want your home to out-shine the competition!  Don't lower the price of your home until you provide potential buyers with an open house that will truly showcase your home.

Project Management Services

 

We provide a wide range of services to make your life easier so you don't have to hire out for different repair services.  But when the job does require using other professionals and you can't get home to let them in or monitor their work, we can help.  We know your schedule can get crazy and you can't be at two places at the same time.  Just call us to assist you.  

 

 

Shopping Services

 

If you don't have time to get out and shop for the recommended items needed to help complete your home to provide that final touch, then we can select and purchase the furniture and/or accessories for you.  We will always work within your budget and shop a variety of consignment stores before spending money on new items.  Our motto is to reuse, recycle, and up-cycle first.

Feng Shui


Some Feng-Shui techniques are naturally incorporated into our designing and organizing projects.  Feng Shui is the art of balancing and harmonizing the flow of natural energies in our surroundings to create beneficial effects in our lives.  This is used most when de-cluttering, neutralizing, and organizing spaces.  Do you have spaces that just "don't feel right"?  This may be because the energy within that space is not balanced correctly for you.   

 

 

Photography Services

 

Did you know that over 80% of your potential home buyers are checking out the Internet BEFORE they ever see your property?  This is why it is so important to have quality photos posted quickly.  Check out your competition and view their interior photos.  If you don't see many---that's a warning sign.  Set yourself apart from the competition by having lots of quality photos.  We've been behind the lens of a camera for for over 30 years.  We know what angles work best, how to reduce glare, and get bright pictures to enhance the look of your home or special event.

 

 

Coupons & Gift Certificates

We have Coupons that can be purchased for services to suit your many needs.  These are great motivators for Realtors to hand out to their clients to get a jump-start on certain projects.

We also have Gift Certificates for specific projects and needs that pertain to your  Home Staging, Interior Re-design, or Home or Office Organizational enhancement projects.  These certificates can be purchased in $25, $50, $75, and $100 increments.  They are beautifully designed to give as special gifts to friends, family, and neighbors. 

        J

If there is a house on your street that needs a little friendly curb appeal nudge, why not gather a few neighbors together and purchase a gift certificate to mail to the homeowners in need of services.  Sometimes time gets away from us, we're laid up with illness, or we can't physically tackle some of the jobs around our own house.  You can help get them caught up.  Consider a "Pay It Forward" approach and do something kind to help a fellow neighbor.  We offer discounted prices for Pay It Forward services in hopes of starting a new trend to help others.

We pride ourselves for being the first Home Staging company to use green concepts and materials in all our design projects.

 

In 2008 occupied homes in our study that were never on the market previously were staged, listed and sold on average in 24 days.

 

Living in a home that is for sale is NOT the same as living in a home that is not on the market!

 

Even though it is always best to have your home staged before putting it on the market, it can be staged at any time while being listed.  We work quickly.

 

Did you know a potential buyer will form an opinion about purchasing your home within fifteen minutes?

 

Only 10% of buyers can actually visualize a home's potential .

 

In 2008 occupied homes in our study that were previously on the market an average of 57 days as un-staged properties, had not sold.

 

It has been proven that staged homes stand out among the competition!

 

79% of home sellers will invest up to $5,000 to get their property ready for sale, according to Maritz Research.  However, it usually costs from $200-$600 for a typical staging day. 

                                                        That is less than most mortgage payments.

 

We can provide you with Virtual Consultations if you live outside our area. 

 

Enjoy life instead of "reacting" to it daily.  Life is very short and we should live it to its fullest!

 

Clutter around you is like extra "noise" that causes you to loose concentration, creating tension.

“Staging, unlike decorating, involves editing, being impersonal and doing so on a limited budget in a short time.” 
 

 

Your home is your largest investment and should show that you have taken good care of it from the very beginning.  Make sure all repairs and cleaning is done BEFORE it's placed on the market.
