WHAT IS STAGING?

Staging is a marketing tool. In much the same way retail stores create interesting vignettes and displays to showcase their goods, we use staging to merchandise your property as a “product.”  We see your property through your buyer’s eyes, and the result is a home that looks warm, inviting and appealing to prospective home-owners.

SERVICES MENU

Staging Report/Consultation
Ideal for lived in houses where sellers want to do the work themselves. The report outlines staging related tips and an itemized list of repairs and updates that should be addressed before selling.  The report will include; project priorities, editing suggestions for collectibles or possessions, furniture placement ideas, and recommended updates that may increase the saleability of your house.  We also include some decorator details in each report, such as paint colors, a vanity selection, or a specific light fixture selection.   The recommendations provided are very specific to your house, and are appropriate for selling your house.If sellers choose to not follow the recommendations they will have a clear understanding of the impact those decisions will have on the ultimate saleability of the house. We promise to offer cost effective ideas (where possible) which will save our sellers time and money.  Tips for showing your house and how to live in a staged property are also included.  Price is confirmed on site after we review property. We continue to evaluate all the services we offer; by introducing the “Evaluation,” we know we can offer more education and insights about the possible outcome before sellers agree to use our services.   Redefining the Report allows us to expand our contribution to others.  We always promise to add value to every house we stage.

Color consultation
Working with color can be tricky.  Beige and white are safe…but boring.  Bright colors are fun but can be risky if they’re not done right.  We can help you create a color scheme that fits your personality, works with your lifestyle and harmonizes with your existing furnishings and the architecture of your home.  It’s a great way to augment your decorating plan and give your home a designer look (without the designer price).

Interior Design
We will help you personalize your space by assisting with the selection of finishing details. We can start from scratch, with everything new, or incorporate treasured items you already own.   Every decorating service is customized to your needs.

Unpacking
Moving is stressful, and unpacking your belongings is time consuming and exhausting.  So imagine arriving at your new home and having your dishes unpacked, washed and put away.  There’s food in the fridge and pantry, the beds are made and the kids’ toys are unpacked. Best of all, your boxes are gone.  We can even provide cleaning service to make sure everything is pristine when you arrive.

Move-in decorating
It’s often difficult to visualize your furnishings in your new home, so it’s not surprising many homeowners discover that items that worked in the prior home don’t work as well in the new one.  We can help you fit your existing possessions into your new space seamlessly, by using the same items in a new way and making recommendations on new purchases, as required.

Organization
Creating order where there is chaos, our expertise is helping homeowners “edit” items no longer needed to make way for new beginnings, new additions to the family, or just to create an environment that is more organized and less stressful.  We customize solutions that will meet our clients’ objectives. If your home suddenly feels too small, or you feel you could function better in your space with a little more organization, we can help.

Estate downsizing
Transitioning from a large home to a smaller space can be challenging. We specialize in helping our clients edit possessions that are no longer needed and organize their new living area to make best use of the space.
