Luxe Living...

We actually enjoyed designing and executing the staging for these Wallingford neighborhood townhouses. The front unit we leaned into “upscale luxe” and the middle unit we called “colorful modern”. We barely got out the door and the front home went pending. You’ll see why…

On to the next townhouse…

Shout out to our amazing team of Stager Girls at Open House for blasting this into the cool zone and a big thanks to listing agent Daniela Dombrowski from Keller Williams who hired us.

Party is HERE!!!

Here’s what I envision: You're hosting a dinner party on your spacious deck overlooking the glistening water. The sun is setting, casting a warm glow on your smiling guests as they sip cocktails and enjoy the fresh breeze. Meanwhile, your out-of-town visitors are comfortably settled in the beautiful upstairs guest suite, feeling right at home.

Your kids are nowhere to be found, and that's because they're happily engrossed in a movie in the media room. No more interruptions from little ones while you entertain your guests.

Ahhh! The good life.

This fabulous listing is by Rock Star Agent Amy Sajer and the lovely staging is brought to you by some over-the-top amazing people at Open House Staging.

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?

Another Great Home

What a fun house and yes…it’s pending

This hip house is listed by Ellen Gillette & Holley Ring of Windermere and the bad ass staging was put together by the Rock Stars at Open House Staging.

Phinney Ridge Beauty

Thrilled to hear all of the positive feedback on this home. The secret sauce? A killer agent and a bad ass staging company.

This big, blue beauty is listed by Darci Gillespie for Windermere and as usual this brilliant and bold staging was put together by the gals at Open House Staging.

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.

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.

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.
