Mantel Transformations

I just finished this house yesterday! During the installation I was reminded why I love what I do. It was so much fun to see the vision that I proposed on the design board come to life. The ideas had been spinning around in my head for a few weeks and it was so incredible to see it finished! Here's a sneak peek at some of the changes we made.

Look what paint and accessories do for this kitchen mantel.

This fireplace didn't have a mantel. Look how adding one changes the whole look.

Gift Certificates Available

Do you know someone that has a birthday or anniversary coming up? Friends getting married or purchasing a new home? Have a mother or mother-in-law that is hard to by for on Mother's Day? A gift certificate for one hour or a couple hours of my services would be an incredible gift for any occassion.

I will wrap the gift certificate in a really nice box and have it all ready for you to give to whoever you please. You can request how many hours you would like to give them - $100 for first hour and $75.00 an hour for any additional hours.

Home Walk-Thru

Lately I've been getting a lot of requests for hourly consultations. These are my favorite type of clients. What I will do is set up an appointment for us to do a walk-thru of your home. You can get your pen and paper ready and we'll go thru each room. I'll give you tips, paint color ideas, furniture placement ideas, artwork suggestions, accessory inspirations, ways to cut costs, update tips without spending too much money and much, much more! I've had some clients use a whole stack of sticky notes and they've put them all over the house with ideas, changes and recommendations.
Book your appointment today so you can get a head start to your spring cleaning & updates!

Bathroom Remodel Completed

What a fun client to work for, thank you Stephanie for making my job so enjoyable!


We took this master bathroom and spruced it up! The picture doesn't do it justice. Of course because of the angle of the room, you can't see the whole room. We took out the bath and added this very large shower and added a new closet. There is another bath in this home so it didn't take away from the resale value. If this client ever decides to sell, this bathroom WILL sell the house. We took down the big mirror and added two "round" mirrors - adding shape to the room. On the mirror wall we used a beautiful terra-cotta paint color and then on the rest of the walls we used an amazing silvermist green. We used the wall color on the ceiling too (of course after we scraped all the popcorn). We put in granite and stained the cabinets a rich walnut. We finished the room off with the details - new hardware on the cabinets, new fixtures and new lighting.

"Staging" a house to sell

Getting a house ready to sell is very important. There are so many things that you get use to looking at that can really look cluttered to others when they walk in. In these pictures, the following was done to get this room ready for anyone looking at the house no matter what their taste.
1. Mantel was simplified
2. Rug was taken out and replaced with a neutral rug. A floral rug can turn some people off because it's too specific a style.
3. Glass coffee table was added to make the room feel bigger. Gives the illusion that there is more space in the room.
4. Red ottoman was taken out, giving the room a more neutral and spacious look..

Book your staging appointment today! I can help you stage YOUR house. Many times it doesn't require you to purchase additional items. We can often "use what you have" to complete the staging and make your home look inviting to potential buyers. Moving furniture around to open up the space, decluttering rooms, finding a new home for artwork & accessories can make a HUGE impact and transition a space drastically.
