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.

Day in the Life of our Furniture

Could not wait for professional photos because I am so excited to share this hipster home. Light, bright, airy and a whole lotta fun to stage.

We have had the molded chairs in the warehouse just waiting to be put to work. I struggled with the head chairs until I saw an Instagram post showing wicker chairs at the head of the table. Luckily our Donghia chairs were raising their hand for the job. It’s a first for them in this setting but they assured me they were up for the task. WE. LOVE. THE. LOOK.!

Note the bar set up in the back ground. We have our go-to pro that is always up for the task of creating a bar. Thank you Jen! (I will do a post specifically on her bar set up…stay tuned). Sometimes she brews coffee or tea (if there is no soy sauce) to create the colors in the bottles.

The leather Atrium Chair has also been hiding in the warehouse. We loaded it for a bedroom but found that it was more impact full in the living area. The live edge coffee table calms down AND warms up the modern vibe. (That’s a heavy responsibility for a coffee table). Every piece has its role. We only had 1 art wall so we made the most of it by going large. Originally we had a console but in the words of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez it was just “Meh". The art was thrilled to hog the wall and take the job away from our console.

An amateur photo shot of the first impression but I think it makes you look up and say “wow”. It’s job is to set the tone of the home. It’s says “expect this home to be modern, sexy and ever-so-hip”.

The gold and black side tables have often been used as night stands. They turn the design conversation to metals. We paired it with gold lamps and finished with a metallic gold circle mirror. Everyone is happy…

The final image is the 2nd bedroom. So much going on with so little color. It’s all about tones and textures.

We will be featuring this house again with better photos but just had to share because I am inspired. The listing will be out soon- it is by Team Diva Real Estate. Staging is by us at Open House Staging.

Day in the Life of a Stager Girl-Shout Out

Not sure what we would do without our “Boys”. These amazing Movers of ours lift the heavy stuff (sometimes more than once since we may originally see something in one room but it works better in another). They are essential in our staging life because they know to ask the questions that will make our day a success. They know so well how we Stager Girls work and we appreciate that. We are all programmed to work as a team and make certain the truck gets loaded with everything we need to create a successful staging. It’s an art form in our world.

Pictured here: Marc (drummer & guitarist) and Marco (basketball player & fan). Not Pictured is: Donnie ( bar security & story teller). No job is too tough for them. From small condos to large waterfront homes - they are always there for us.

Matt manages our warehouse, runs around town fetching our newly purchased goods as well as unloading sold homes, being a 4th mover when we need it, and so much more... He spends a ton of time in the van and we appreciate that it is him and not us.
