SHOUT OUT TO KATHY CAYLOR, REALTOR AND PHOTOGRAPHER EXTRAORDINAIRE !!!

Check out her website www.KathyCaylor.com

Over the past couple of months HOME STYLE AND STAGING has had the pleasure of working with Kathy Caylor, ( I understand she found me here on ActiveRain, which I am most thankful !!!) Kathy and I worked on a project and within weeks the house was SOLD...now I would like to think ( and yes, I will take some credit here ) that I had something to do with this...However, she worked hard listing the home, setting up the website for the listing , and she did the photos. Awesome is the only word I can use to describe the photos that she took.

I was the one that went from room to room setting up the staging and she would come in take the photos to make what I had done look amazing.

This is the home where we used only what the homeowner had, and what they had was several items which included a wire rooster.( Elaine Maines would be proud ) That wire rooster I think we used in every room and in every photo. It should be quite famous by now, the house was sold and they had moved before I got the opportunity to make an offer on purchasing that rooster.

We just completed another staging/photo shoot and used another prop in almost every shot. I will do a post and post the photos and see if you can guess what the prop was... The owner even got involved in the process. This is another house that will sell quickly, not because of me and the staging ( even though I will take some of the credit here ) but for the outstanding work, photos, time, and energy that this lady puts into each and every home that she sells.

It has been so much fun and a learning experience working with her, Thank you Kathy for contacting me, I look forward to working with you again soon...

BEFORE AND AFTER...WITH A TWIST !!!

HOME STYLE AND STAGING recently did a staging where the owner had done some of the staging before I was asked to come into the project.

So this Before and After is BEFORE what the owner did, and the AFTER is what HOME STYLE AND STAGING was able to do with the space, this I feel is why staging should be left to the professionals. Got to hand it to them, they did try, more than I can say for some.

BEFORE: PROVIDED BY THE OWNER AFTER: PROVIDED BY HOME STYLE AND STAGING

Comments, anyone ?

I moved the chairs from the corner to center of wall, took away some pillows, added rug, and you can't see but moved the prints on the wall closer together. This small room is off to the left when you enter the foyer, needed to stage so that you would not walk into a blank space.

I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU CALL ME.. JUST CALL ME !!!!

Yes that is correct, call me anything ( well, that is suitable for my ears ) just call me. I will come running !!!

Last week I received a voice mail and the caller was calling for HOME STYLE AND STAGING and would like to speak with Mary Lou Teague , however the last name was pronounced as " T Q". So I returned the nice man's phone call promptly and clearly stated, "Hello this is Mary Lou Teague, with Home Style and Staging" returning your call"...he then says Oh Hello Ms "T Q", thanks for getting back to me so soon.

You know I figure he can call me "Ms T Q" all day long..as I got the job.

I will just have to make sure that when it comes time to write the check he gets the name right !!!

HOME STYLE AND STAGING received a phone call the other day from a very nice lady in Indiana, she asked the name of the color that I had used in two of the re-design bathrooms that I done. I was thinking to myself, how in theworld did she know that I did a bathroom in chocolate brown and her in Indiana ??

As the conversation continued I found out that she had "Googled" brown bathrooms and of all the ones that came up she liked the color and the accessories that I had used in mine, traced me by my website and then went to Activerain from there...WOW...all that for the name of the paint that I had used..this lady was on a mission. I asked her to please send me before and after photos so that I could share with you here on Activerain. So I am looking forward to seeing her re-design...
