Driving through an ancient, yet well-preserved neighborhood in any city can really give you a glimpse of history. The trees are older and taller as they leave vast shadows on the house. So now that that first glance caught your eye, does the entry way beckon you in with a warm welcome.

The entryway to your home is what stirs the passion of onlookers. The path to the door sets the stage. A freshly painted door, shutters, and surrounding trim and clean windows and screens can make a big difference. Consider cleaning or changing out the light fixtures, adding a wreath, plants, and a new welcome mat to draw attention to the space. The lock, doorknob, and doorbell should glimmer like new. That first walk up to the front door needs to grab the attention of visitors. It’s all about the little details and the big impact those little details will make.

Staging your entryway to your front door is a must in today’s market. Give your home an added advantage by adding professional staging touches by our expert Barbara Heil-Sonneck. Contact Design2Sell for more details on how to stage your entire home.

What is European design? Many designers have pondered this question and have come up with a multitude of answers. At Design2Sell, we believe that there are sever correct answers to this question. This style could include incorporating elegant, well worn pieces with a sense of history into a room *or* employing modern, space saving pieces that do double duty by combining beauty and function.

This distinctive type of styling an interior space is exhibited in the classic movie, "The Sound of Music". The Design2Sell creative team will fashion an exhibit based on the film and reveal their interpretation of European design at The Next Cool Event. An old world architectural feature of a staircase, reminiscent of the one featured in the movie, will be paired with modern touches and original artwork to create this unique interpretation of the retro film.

"The Sound of Music" set at The Next Cool Event will be unveiled on Friday, February 17, 2012. There is still time to purchase your ticket to tour our version of European design. Tickets to this event are limited, but you have a chance to win your way in to this event. "Like" us on Facebook and be one of ten that will win a ticket.
