One More Thing...

Don’t start snuggling up with a hot cup of cocoa or start relaxing by a fire with a hot toddy-at least not yet. You have one more thing to do in the garden. ORDER & PLANT BULBS. Because of our 4 seasons we get to take a rest from our garden’s weeds and watering-that’s a gift. Relaxing is just around the corner. So…clear out some pots and a small space by the front door and get your bulbs planted.

To see and read a step-by-step guide hop over to Home Depot-here.

Okay, that’s done. Now get your Paper Whites and your Amaryllis started so you can have beauty inside for the holidays. Soon, you get to relax. Both of these are grown inside in the Pacific Northwest.

My hunch is that you will secretly thank me for pushing you forward on this one last task. I will have all of these ordered by sundown and in the garden (or my home) this weekend. ENJOY!

Bar Cart Rescue

These bar carts are always ready to entertain but they do not have to be used only for entertaining. I have a small one that works double time as a night stand. It’s also great filled with kitchen appliances and cookbooks. Look at it as a piece of furniture that can go anywhere. We have loads of ideas…

How to Get Our Look: Tiny Living Room Addition

Thought I would do a How to Get Our Look… tiny living room addition. Being the intern I only get to look at these beautiful projects from behind a screen so I thought I would try and make some of the amazing looks that Open House Stagers create come to life. This is How to Get Our Look, tiny living room addition!

This is the look I am going to be re-creating with similar pieces, so if you see something you like, it’s just a click away.

To me, this entire room is brought together by one piece in particular, can you guess which piece it is….? The center table. I love the wood and metal look, here are some similar pieces.

Next key piece is the white sectional, and the best part of these sectionals are they are timeless! Here are some similar pieces.

Alright now let’s jump to the TV consoles, not as glamorous as the white sectional BUT necessary to bring it all together. Try and match the wood with the rest of the room if you can.

Pillows are important too…can’t forget about the throw pillows. The color scheme here is yellows and greys, here are some ideas.

Home Office Inspo

I fell in love with this adorable home office that I found from Jessica Stansberry’s Pinterest page. As the Open House Intern my bosses are letting me loose on the design front and I get to pick a style I like and share how to create it. I hope this impresses you because I do love my job and want to be kept around awhile longer. HA!

I am focused on the home office vibe since many of you are working from home these days…let us know if you like to see how we break down a room piece by piece. I am here for ya!

Seward Park Beauty

Sitting high on the hill is this Seward Park beauty! The living room is so elegant. We were loving how well it came together and know that it will be promptly scooped up.

This home is listed by Amy Sajer for Windermere and that signature staging is by us gals at Open House Staging. Yee Haw!

Lighting...a quick and easy update.

A lighting refresh is an affordable way to update your home. I picked out some fixtures to inspire a client and hopefully you as well. I am showing all black right now but have many other selections in our SHOP.

Chandeliers… I love all of these pieces. You don’t need a “modern” home to pull this off. Pow and personality. Done.

Create a look that says "Welcome!"

Whether you are selling your home or simply want a welcoming entry a simple planter filled with beauty is a must. It seems overwhelming when you get to the nursery so only focus on the need for 3 items in your planter. Simply click on each image and your planter is created!

1. Start with a large stylish planter

2. Fill with planting mix and slow release fertilizer

3. Remove the plant identity tags

4. Add 2 vibrant grasses

5. Add a shrub prized for its colorful foliage 

6. Finally your color spot. Stay with 1 color for greater impact

I love this combination because it is low maintenance and provides interest for months. Now get out there and tackle this rewarding task.
