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.

Seattle Skyline View

It’s never easy to stage a home like this but we think we nailed it! The views and the spaces are extraordinary for sure.

Sexy Skyscraper

Staging a condo in a high rise always presents challenges. Ya gotta have the chops for jobs like this. The elevator is scheduled for a block of 3 hours and you have to make it happen in that amount of time. Sometimes we have to share the elevator which creates more challenges. The Concierge must be your friend! And the planning of the furniture, art and accessories has got to be spot on. I think we made it work on this one. Actually, I know we made it work! Isn’t the final result beautiful!?

Ballard Neighborhood

Of course this went pending quickly…it is adorable. A sweet Ballard home that got even better after we staged it. It shows you just how cute a place can look despite a few dated aspects of the home.

Day in the Life of a Stager Girl

Even when we are crazy busy we still find time for fun. A huge luxury is sitting down for 5 minutes to decompress. Here is a snap shot of our staging days.

And today, we are waiting on the forgotten dining room table back at the warehouse…

And if the sun is out no matter the time of year we will find an excuse to be in it!

We are barely ready to take on another big week. Starting to feel the market letting loose…homes are selling! Good things are happening out there.

Staging in the Ballard Neighborhood

Ballard is gettin’ all fancy these days. Here is one of our latest staging projects.

New Construction Bellevue

How decadent to move into such a beautifully built home. It flows so well, has great multi functioning spaces and all over well designed. We love staging Winfield Homes.

I am showing you the back of the home because I love the outdoor space.

HAPPY FRI FRI

Maybe it is because we are like a band of Sisters hanging out with each other daily. But it’s true that we all showed up for work in a camo kind-of-vibe and just had to take a team photo.
