The Canadian ReDesigners Association has arranged for a Photography workshop on Friday, October 16th at The Listel Hotel in Vancouver, BC. Architectural Photographer Dennis Huckaby will be teaching the day long course and focussing on how to photograph rooms to showcase their best features. As a home staging professional, I know that my photos showcase my work and better photos are better for business!

Last week a colleague and I staged a property in Gastown on the second hottest day ever recorded in Vancouver. Lucky for us we began early in the day!
The property was a bachelor apartment with a lovely brick wall and some interesting features. We used some of what the tenant had and brought in some rentals. We would call this a "redesign" staging - usually more cost effective for the client. We were pleased with the results, see what you think...

Hope you like it ~ we were pleased and so was the client!
It has been busy and I have been remiss at keeping up with my blogging. But recently I assisted a family prepare their townhouse for selling. They are busy people with 2 young boys. They have bought a house and need to sell quickly. They really needed help. The Realtor called me in and together with my painter, we made a difference! Tanja Powell of Powell Painting did a fantastic job, in a very short time, so I could stage the townhouse last weekend. The Realtor Open was today and we received many compliments and are hoping that the Open on the weekend will bring quick results for the family.
Below are the Before and After photos, you tell me - Do you think we made a difference?
Hope you have a good week!
According to the colour marketing group, the new colour for 2009 is Mimosa! A bright, lively colour with lots of zest. Look for it in home decor in the form of accessories like pillows, throws, candles, etc and it will usually be paired with white for a clean, fresh look. In fashion expect to see the 'little yellow polka dot bikini' this summer!
This colour is said to be inspiring and uplifting. What do you think about it?
It is so wonderful to see so many people donating time, service and talents for the benefit of others. A number of decorators in the Vancouver area had a home tour on the weekend in addition to the Burnaby Deer lake tour. I love the trees that businesses sponsor in the different communities and the proceeds go to such worthy causes. Christmas just brings out the best in everyone! What good deeds are you aware of?
