Fall's Offerings

The beauty of Seattle is our 4 seasons. The autumn colors are stunning here. We get to move into warm earthy tones, drink less beer and more tea, less BBQ and more soups, less yard work and more nesting. Change is good. So happy to find a moment to share some of my fall favorites with you all. Love, Erin

Happy Fall Shopping!

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.

Etsy Mother's Day Gifts

This year we may only be celebrating our Mothers from afar. I was thinking of not even waiting until Mothers Day and sending a gift right now. Mail has become so important at this crazy moment.

We have our finger on the pulse when it comes to shopping for the latest and greatest so… we wanted to get your creative wheels turnin’ on the Mother’s Day front.

Here are some great gift ideas for you!!

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.

Spotlight on Entertaining

Entertaining ideas from one of our Stager Girls.

An invitation to attend one of Jodi’s gatherings is a big deal. Her home is a feast for the eyes, flickering white Glassy Babys line her mantle like little angels looking out on her guests. The charcuterie board is brimming with assorted meats, cheeses, nuts, dates, pears and more. A perfect art piece. The wine is abundant and top notch and the beer is varied and ice cold. It’s not stuffy and high falutin’. It’s simply warm and welcoming.

We have asked her to share some of her favorite ETSY finds. Take note my friends, she is a professional…

We like to keep this Stager Girl around. She is hard working, creative, motivating and often keeps us at the staging jobs until they are finished. No slacking on her watch. Cheers Jodi!

New Construction Staging

How to get the Urban Farmhouse look:

An edgy hybrid style of two popular design aesthetics. Rustic wood mixed with linen and leather that warms the space. Add in high-contrast finishes and onyx accents to create the contemporary side. And…BAM! You got the look.

Our SHOP also has what it takes to help you with this vibe.

Friday's Shopping Finds

I have plenty of homes to feature next week but shopping is way more fun so I spent my time in my studio picking out “must haves” and great deals to share with all of you ready for fall decor! ENJOY!!

We are moving into fall decor. Such a wonderful change! Naturals, velvets, wovens, and wood-all warm and inviting.

Everything I have selected is created by small businesses and hard working creative people. Each sale makes them hap hap happy so go for it!! CLICK & SHOP.

Art & Throw Pillows

A great place to find original affordable art is Etsy. Most often when we are pulling a design together for a home we are staging we begin with the art. It is delivered to the pillow department (that makes our company sound sooo large!) and the design unfolds.

All of the art and pillows are available for purchase. Simpy Click & Shop!

Now for the throw pillows: My sister Tara's rule of thumb is "Solid, Texture and Print". She passes on that tidbit often when she is stopped at her local shopping haunt and asked for advice from other shoppers.

Get our Look!

One of our favorite clients to stage for is this fabulous group of agents from Team Diva Real Estate. They let us transform every listing however we want. Complete trust in our design decisions and that if a huge compliment. 

An adorable home in West Seattle...
