The Jewel Box Gets Us Every Time

This home swept us off our feet. Those of us not assigned to this staging job had to stop by at some point and see what the fuss was all about. It’s sweet, stylishly restored and feels good to be inside. No surprise it sold immediately!

Brought to you by Linda Moline & Darcy Breene of Windermere Real Estate. Yes, we did the staging. It’s good, right?

Large & In Charge

This was such an enormous job. So many rooms to stage, style, steam and sell! We had all hands on deck for this beauty. Personally, I love this neighborhood. The neighborhood pool is right across the street. For sure it’s Mayberry.

This fabulous home is listed by Rayme Teders for Windermere Real Estate and the staging is by us at Open House Staging.

A Full Circle House

Back in 1989 my sister and I rented this home. We added roommates and started our careers. It was a pretty fancy home for us back in the day. It then was later purchased by some good friends of mine who did a great remodel and today’s sellers added their touch with more improvements.

Thrilled my sister and I got to stage this home. We were flooded by memories of the big Snow Event of 1990, our apple cup party where we let the neighbors know ahead of time, our cars being stolen from out front, and convincing our landlord to get us a VCR during the snow.

Our team of hardworking and overworked Stager Girls absolutely loved its charm and character. Thank you universe for bringing it back into our circle.

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.
