Refreshed and Ready!

Oh to experience the Seattle sunsets. This is the perfect fit for a visual experience inside and out.

Listing by incredible, dedicated, go-the-distance agents Dawn Bourdo and Corey Hays for Compass. And that carefully planned out beautiful staging is by us gals at Open House Staging.

Award Winning New Construction

Okay, the award part I made up but it really should get props for its refreshing and livable design. The builder is our very own Open House Stager Girl (and owner)-Tara. She wears a couple of hats as you can see.

Listing is by Jennifer Maher for Windermere Real Estate and making each room come alive with furniture, art and accessories are the fun loving, brilliant and talented gals from Open House Staging. Yes folks…it takes a village, well it takes our village to create this beauty!

Farm House Chic

Builders and buyers are still loving the farmhouse vibe. Shiplap is still a thing and accent walls are holding strong. My favorite trend that remains is the covered outdoor space. The rainy days here thank you for continuing to create year round usable spaces. Here is a new build we staged.

This beautiful home is listed by Tom Maider and Brad Knowles and the badass staging is by us gals at Open House Staging.

Queen Anne Beauty

We finally had an opportunity to use one of our new purchases from our time at market in Las Vegas. We call it “the Ladies”. See the image in the media room. Took 3 of us to hang it but what a POW! it provided.

This one of a kind home was listed by Rene Stern & Kim Wesselman-Windermere and the fabulous staging is done by us gals at Open House Staging.

Grand Dutch Colonial in Wallingford

I wish you all could see what a good, high quality remodel looks like. The kitchen windows are to die for, the light fixtures are big statements and the spaces are incredible. Take a look …

This beauty is listed by Kris Murphy & Elaine Shankland for Keller Williams and the fabulous staging is by us gals at Open House.

Picture Perfect Queen Anne Home

Incredible views…that’s one of the perks of the job. It is also the reason Seattle attracts so many people.

Netflix Design Show

In the design world my sister and I long ago watched this couple make their rise in the industry. First we saw them at a small design conference, then Instagram, then their own retail shop, a design shop, a furniture line at Target and now a SHOW!!

Syd and Shea McGee take us through home renovation projects. The part I liked the most is they show the process of building their own home (which is amazing). They show a home across the street from their build which has an unrelatable budget and finally the remodel of a family space in a modest home.

I watched her pack up her plates in her rental house and loved knowing that I have the very same Crate & Barrel plates. Honestly, I did get inspired and I hope you will as well.

Enjoy!!

Freshen Your Dwelling! Yes, that's an order...

Well, kind of an order… But let’s make a few small changes in the place where we are spending our Covid days. Here are some suggestions that we are thinking will be fun additions.

Power of the Pillow

As many of us practice the Stay-at-Home policy we cannot help but notice our homes. We now have time to purge, organize, paint, clean, craft and decorate.

Our very own Jo lovingly reigns over our Pillow Department in our warehouse. She mixes and matches, takes chances and the outcome is beautiful. We all watch and learn.

Jo says “a pillow can magically transform a room. As we prepare for summer, it is more important than ever to love your space.” Her inspiration today came from Earth Day.

There you have it!

MIX & MATCH

Change Your Space! Fall has arrived.

We gotcha covered here when it comes to decorating for fall. It is a perfect time to shake up some spaces by adding rich tone and textured throw pillows, maybe a bit of cheesy Halloween decorations, classic pumpkins, moody candles (well, I think candles can be moody), a fur throw.
