/

It’s time to gather extended family and friends around the table. Let us inspire you to create the room of your dreams. Here is how to get our look in this beautiful Bellevue condo the gals at Open House just finished staging!

No need to be so serious with the chairs and table. Modern and fun works great!

These chairs help you take it up a notch in that more formal space.

Ready for some Vintage Finds?

/

From the lovely, talented, hard working Stager Girl we call K2, I bring Kristin’s carefully curated vintage finds from Etsy.

Here’s what we will share about her:

  • Her personal style has inspired her co-workers to make similar design purchases with the promise to not wear or carry that fabulous purse when she is around. She is our “influencer” and our fashionista.

  • She has the ability to pull amazing finds off the shelves of Goodwill stores across America - we encourage her to collect treasures for our own homes.

  • History Channel’s American Pickers is her go to show to watch when she has a free moment. We would like to nominate her to host.

  • She loves the thrill of the hunt, will investigate anything intriguing and possibly of value, and is a researcher extraordinaire.

  • A kick ass Stager - Her signature shows up in her staging style. From a colorful ceramic pheasant, black Egyptian Bast Cat, or a Vintage ice bucket. You can pick out her special touch.

  • And, on top of it all, she is a Beauty inside and out.

Sometimes we kick ourselves for not taking a moment to take in the fabulous views some of our staging jobs provide. Definitely a perk of the biz. So here we are in beautiful Clyde Hill with water and city views. Just need to remember to look up!

Tips for a Fab Outdoor Space

/

Every space outside of your home is worthy of your attention. You will not regret taking some time to carve out a bit of outdoor beauty. Capture those spaces and create! Even if you are overwhelmed with the size of your yard, pick one of the items below and make it happen. Even if you are underwhelmed by the size of your yard, am intimate space can be created. 

1. DINING

This is perfect for a small space for a couple of reasons. It adds a pop of color and style even without any throw pillows, and weathers well. It's also very affordable from Target. Ooh La La, very French!

In the Pacific NW I am a huge fan of metal if it is not under cover. Way less maintenance and worry. Also found at Target.

My all time favorite is a wood farm table but that has to be under cover. I even store mine inside over the winter. They can be high maintenance for sure but warm and welcoming.

2. ENTERTAINING

It helps to have something to set your fabulous appetizers and craft cocktails on. And this bar cart makes a great statement without taking up a ton of space. 

Of course if you have a larger area you can go with a larger bar.

3. CHILL SPACE

And then there is the relaxing area. A welcoming sectional. Once again, this weathers well but here in Seattle I would never leave my cushions out all year-never.

Or go with  2-4 chairs for a smaller space. These chairs read comfort for sure.

4. NAPPING or RELAXING

A hammock or a chaise lounge chair!

5. GARDENING

A large planter works even in a somewhat small space. A trio of planters makes a great statement as well, especially if they are repeated.

It doesn't all need to fall on your "Operation Fab Outdoor Space" to-do list but I can assure you doing just 1 of these ideas will make you want to be outside. I will not overwhelm you with throw pillows, heaters, fire pits and rugs (but I would like to!). We are brimming with design ideas.

Thank you to Target for all of these great products.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Were kind of into Navy right now.

/

The Stager Girls created a cute condo today and of course we went with Navy. The last 3 of our jobs we used navy which means we need more. If that is the direction we move then our buyers need to bring it on! 

Isn't this a great bed set up? And note the layered navy rug on the sisal. {image:pinterest}
