About Rockland County

Can a room be too neutral? - Jun 08 10:02 PM
Rockland Home Staging recently staged a colonial in Rockland County NY where the kitchen was just not working. It was very neutral but it looked washed out.  The cabinets are that bleached wood that is almost pink and the walls were painted a pail peach.  It really wasn't such a bad color but it did nothing for the room.
I decided to break one of the most sacred home staging rules and paint the kitchen RED.
We chose ...

Curb Appeal - Can it make your home 45% more likely to be seen? - May 30 01:20 PM
We are currently in the throws of the hot spring real estate market and it is essential that your home or listing stand out. The National Association of Realtors (NAR) reported that there are more homes on the market now than there have been in the last 10 years.
Real estate agents are often showing home buyers more than a dozen homes before they place an offer on a home. Buyers are savvy and looking ...

Before, After and After that - Evening Shots - Dec 27 08:43 AM
Rockland Home Staging recently staged a property in Rockland County NY that needed quite a bit of renovation.  During the course of the staging we ripped up the carpet, refinished the hardwood floors, painted the entire house, replaced all the light fixtures, restructured the furniture arrangement and generally cut the clutter. It was a huge project with a fairly large budget, about $5000.  Almost all of the funds went to rehab.  When it came time for ...

Extreme makeover COUCH edition!!! - Dec 20 04:44 PM
 
Don't you just hate it when a good couch goes bad?
OK I understand that prospective homeowners are not purchasing the couch but, if this is the kind of care they take of their furniture then what have the been doing with the house?  Has the home been shown the same kind of neglect?  
It is so easy to update the look of furniture with slip covers.  I purchased this Sure Fit slip cover at Bed ...

Keeping current with color trends. What's hot. - Aug 20 11:26 AM
Could we be saying goodbye to the Brown / Teal color pallet? I really do love this color combo but it may very well be on its way out. I just received the latest Pottery Barn and Touch of Catalogs in the mail today. I think the cover photos will speak for themselves:
I think that once a particular color combination hits the major chain and discount stores it is on its way out.
To the left ...

Not so pretty in pink - An under $25 transformation - Oct 28 05:12 PM
I think the following pictures illustrate the difference between Home Staging and Decorating.  
 
This bathroom update was done using only the items the homeowner had on hand. Home staging does not have to be expensive.  The only money the homeowner spent was for a can of paint.  We stripped the border, painted the room an off white and rearranged the existing accessories.   The floral arrangement was in one of the home's bedrooms.  So what ...

Mt. Fuji Steakhouse in Hillburn, NY Says, “Irashaimase” (Welcome) to Japanese Peace and Tranquility Where You Least Expect to Find it - Sep 18 02:33 PM
Visible from commuter traffic's rush and flow on the NYS Thruway (I-87), atop a privately owned mountain, a single orange flag waves above a mysterious edifice. This is Hillburn, New York's Mt. Fuji Steakhouse, one of three Mt. Fuji hibachi restaurants located in the New York, New Jersey area.
Accessible from Exit 15A of the NYS Thruway, and nestled on its own 60 acres, Mt. Fuji Steakhouse provides a unique dining and entertainment experience.

What's a National Real Estate Market? All Real Estate is Local. - Oct 03 08:19 AM
The media keeps talking about the "National Real Estate Market." This doesn't make sense and is leading both buyers and sellers to draw misguided conclusions about the real estate market. While this blog pertains to the real estate market in Rockland County, NY, I'm sure buyers and sellers (and real estate agents) across the country can relate.
First, there is no national real estate market. The national real estate market is made up of thousands of mini-markets, each ...

Rockland County Spring Cleaning: Give Back . . . and Some Pain There, Too - Apr 14 10:09 AM
It is that time of year again, isn't it? The temperature is rising. (In Rockland County, it is supposed to be in the high 70s on Friday.) Grass is turning green. Flowers are beginning to bloom. Leaves are sprouting on trees. And, based upon the items that I see curbside as I drive around Rockland, it is obviously time for the ritualistic annual tradition of Spring Cleaning. Few activities are as instinctual to humans as ...

There's something about red... - Jul 01 07:54 AM
Buying a home is an emotional process and color effects emotion.  Using red in a home can add the drama needed to evoke that emotional response in potential buyers.  Red is the color of passion and energy. Using red in the bedroom creates a rich look that buyers will respond to. Red also looks great in photographs. The rooms with red accents will stand out from the sea of beige on MLS.

The Quality Of Your Customer Service - Dec 01 11:50 AM
