It never cease to amaze me.  Staging provides a better sense of scale every time!  The rooms are not only more memorable, but they appear BIGGER as well! Dividing the spaces in a small place   It's an age-old problem with small houses: how do you make the spaces look larger and more functional so...

This home reminds me a lot of one I recently staged.  Without furniture that living room looks like it's 5 x 8 at first glance, but clearly it is much larger once we see it furnished.  It looks very comfy and cozy - intimate without being cramped.  That isn't small scale furniture!  Best of all, ...

What have I been doing?  Taking care of business - that's what! Here is one of the staging jobs I recently completed.  Older houses that have been renovated are especially likely to have weird spaces that present challenges to stagers and force us to be really creative.  This project was fun for ...

On field visits to many of the homes we've staged, I've seen some really creative use of Black and White to make rooms both memorable and constrasty. Even in builder-biege rooms, the black and white makes for a sharp and smart look and I find that buyers can easily remember these rooms after look...

Linda Saavedra of Showhomes Tampa emailed me these photos she was really proud of today. This room, as is typical in Florida, had all white, even the white tile floor. Vacant, this is a harsh room and feels like an operating room. These rooms, very contemporary in nature, can be really difficult ...

This Minneapolis home sold in 39 days after staging by Showhomes. This beautiful home had been on the market for 1.5 years before it was staged. The owner and Realtor beleive the staging is what made the difference and we agree! like many homes, the interior of this home was wide open space and w...

Linda Saavedra, owner of Showhomes Tampa, emailed me with some pics and an amazing story about her home staging business in Tampa: Hi Linda,  I just want to thank you for doing a fantastic job with my listing in Tampa which had been on the market for a year and 1/2 before learning about your serv...
