Welcome 2025...

Rolling out 2025 with a timeless poem

To seek elegance rather than luxury,

and refinement rather than fashion.

To be worthy not respectable, and wealthy not rich.

To study hard, think quietly, talk gently,

act frankly, to listen to stars, birds, babes

and sages with an open heart, to bear all cheer!

Do all bravely, await occasions, hurry never.

In a word, to let the spiritual, unbidden and unconscious

grow up through the common.

This is to be my symphony.

Incredible Waterfront Living

Now it’s time for us to “Flex”. This was an enormous project that took some bad ass shopping, a gazillion trips of special delivery items, all of our designer’s talents and a few stress filled days. Oh what a glamourous job we have…

My favorite builder in all the land! This home just keeps on giving. Tons of beauty, space, possible rental income, fabulous party setting & incredible finishes.

If you’re interested in purchasing this gem then get in touch with Becky Nadeson or Sarah Ford at Coldwell Banker Bain. If the bad ass staging interests you then get in touch with us! The amazing builder is Millad Development.

Can a Farmhouse be Glamorous?

Ummmm….YES. See your for yourself just how glam it can get. One of our favorite builders delivers incredible projects for us to stage and for a lucky buyer to live their dream life. Win! Win!

Isn’t it good? I told you so!

Traditional & Contemporary Marriage

What a surprise when you step inside this seemingly traditional home and find a modern vibe. It feels like you’re in the treetops. Clever design!

Luxe Living...

We actually enjoyed designing and executing the staging for these Wallingford neighborhood townhouses. The front unit we leaned into “upscale luxe” and the middle unit we called “colorful modern”. We barely got out the door and the front home went pending. You’ll see why…

On to the next townhouse…

Shout out to our amazing team of Stager Girls at Open House for blasting this into the cool zone and a big thanks to listing agent Daniela Dombrowski from Keller Williams who hired us.

Um....POW!

Does it get any swankier than this? Me thinks not. Can you believe how beautiful this turned out? We just had to add the icing on the ever-so-cool “cake”. Any doubters out there in regards to staging this may help you see the light. Prepare to be amazed.

Refreshed and Ready!

Oh to experience the Seattle sunsets. This is the perfect fit for a visual experience inside and out.

A Moment in the Life of a Stager Girl

Sometimes we need to surround ourselves (literally) with our work in order to continue to be creative. Our “to do” list is a bit different in that we have throw pillows, linens, furniture, art and accessories on it. Below is a planning session with three of our Rock Star team members. My Sister Extraordinaire and I are very proud of this moment because back in the day it was 100% just us and we didn’t have heat or an ever-so-cool staff.

Grand Dutch Colonial in Wallingford

I wish you all could see what a good, high quality remodel looks like. The kitchen windows are to die for, the light fixtures are big statements and the spaces are incredible. Take a look …
