I hope I didn't scare you away! :/

I know, there are way too many of us hanging around NAKED. ( <-----Did you just click that link) ;)

We think we're looking all cool with a little primping & fluffing (paint & carpet). Not!

Really......like the Doctor always say's "After you've seen one you've seen them all....they all start to look alike!"

YIKES! No, no I'm different! I don't look like all the rest! BLAH BLAH BLAH

YIKES is right! Let's face it, hearing that you "all look alike" isn't going to help when you are trying to sell a Vacant/NAKED Home!

Sure you might think price is KING, however with all the Short Sales, Foreclosures & REO's currently for sale, what makes YOUR Listing stand out from all the rest?

Let's make your Vacant/NAKED Listing the QUEEN of the Valley by Home Staging! :)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So here I sit NAKED, a little awkward and uncomfortable. :(

Why is everyone walking right past me?

Come on....stop, hang out, get to know me!!

Oh.....you can't cause there is no where to sit and relax....and you feel a bit awkward.

I understand....I don't blame you. :(

HELLO! Well Look at me NOW! I'm all dressed up and ready to GO!

Please, PLEAse, PLEASSSSSSSE, come back and check me out!!!!!!!!!!!!!

LOOK.....now you can pull up a chair......sit........relax....stay awhile...........get to know ME! :)

Be proud to bring all your friends to check me out!

That darn "B"!!!!!

2010-08-27T11:35:00.000-07:00

Yup that dreaded 6 letter word! BUDGET!!!!

Yup, there is that dirty word.....BUDGET! Not one you like to hear from your spouse, partner, parent or even client! However, in today's world the reality is we are all living within a BUDGET!

Recently a Client called me for a Redesign and Paint Consultation for her Temecula Home. She had lived there for 10 years and was ready to update the look within her BUDGET.

Well she came to the right place by calling a Professional Home Stager/Redesigner! We are use to working with a "B" all the time! And I was happy to help when the first room she wanted to start with was her 10 year old son's bedroom.

She had already purchased a wall mural online from Pottery Barn and wanted me to help her pick out the right color to paint the room. She already had a couple of gray and blue paint card samples. Unfortunately, the colors were not in the right hue of her mural and she didn't know which walls to paint etc....

Then I got the AH-HA moment! Asked her how she felt about BLACK?

She looked horrifed but let me continue.....and I am glad she did!

With just a little sweat, paint and her focal point...the wall mural...here are the finally results! :)

So long story short....when on a BUDGET consider calling a Professional Home Stager/Redesigner. We can be your BUDDY on a BUDGET!!! :)

Oh No Faux!!! Boy was I WRONG!!!

2010-08-27T11:29:00.000-07:00

Honestly I am not a huge fan of faux painting. As a Murrieta/Temecula Professional Home Stager it is my job to help prepare real estate properties for the market and Faux Painting is a bit too personal. Yes sometimes it can be tastefully done, however in many cases it can be overdone......incorrectly done and often times obnoxiously done!

OK so you see where I am coming from......that is why when a RE Client/investor mentioned to me that he was going to have the white kitchen cabinets fauxed I was a little surprised. Don't get me wrong, I love Faux Applications in the right setting....Heck I even have my office fauxed. But I feel fauxing is very personal and should not be used when selling your property! END OF STORY or so I thought!

So this is what I was thinking.....................

Yikes! So you can see why I was concerned!!

So lets continue...

He mentioned having them done like his own personal home kitchen cabinets. OH UH!! RED FLAG!! Sounds TOO PERSONAL!!! He said the Faux painter would be coming next week to leave samples and asked me if I could help him make a final decision.

Well, since the Temecula Real Estate Investor had his PERSONAL kitchen cabinets done, and he was so happy how they turned out I decided to agree to look at the samples and help him make a decision. The whole time I was really trying to figure out how I could softly break it to him that I thought it would be a BAD DECISION to FAUX PAINT the cabinets.

So I met with the Investor and his partner and was shown 2 sample boards. One was glazed antique white and one was fauxed a rich dark brown.

OMG....I was so pleasantly surprised......I liked them both and thought the painter was very talented!! I thought both would work fine however the antique white was too personal (maybe a bit dated) and may not appeal to everyone....which is the GOAL!

OK the moment you've been waiting for...I hope you enjoy these Temecula Before and After Faux Painting & Home Staging pictures as much as I do!!!

I was sooooooooooo glad I was WRONG about Faux painting the kitchen cabinets! :) Faux painting has come a long way from the bad old sponge painting days!!! Fauxing these white Kitchen cabinets really updated the property! I was so thrilled with the finally results I have decided to use the painter for my property!

I am no long "Oh No Faux"!! :)

The happy ending..............we reached our goal.......this Temecula Real Estate Property received multiple offers and is currently in Escrow!!

Going, Going, GONE! The Stage Mobile Home Sold!

2008-02-14T12:36:00.000-08:00

I received a call from one of my clients a week before Christmas. He told me that he just received an offer on his Murrieta, CA property after being listed on the market for only 3 WEEKS!!! He said "Thank you so much for helping me get the house looking it's best. That's why it SOLD so quickly!" What a wonderful Christmas present!

This was a mobile home property staged by 1st Stage Property Transformation which I blogged about back in October Do you Stage Mobile Home's? wondering if Mobile Homes should be staged. I received some great comments and was looking forward to the challenge.

I am soooo excited and happy for the home seller, REA. and lil ole me! :) A Win-Win-Win!

We did a whole house consultation for this client, brought in a few accessories and staged the family room and spare bedroom with furniture.

I did suggest painting the panelling and removing or painting the wallpaper but the seller had a limited budget. The seller spent most of the budget on the driveway repair which I recommended and he agreed needed to be done. Let's face it...it's the first thing you see and considering this is a 55 and better community we don't need any potential buyer's falling on the way in!

Realtors...Don't Delay.....Stage Today!

This Murrieta, CA vacant property you are about to view had been on the market for a few months. After many price reductions and still no luck, Sirva, a relocation company, took the advice from The Hensley Group, Inc in December to stage the home. Six weeks after home staging by 1st Stage Property Transformation, the property received an offer and is now currently in Escrow! :)
