Just in case

In case someone vacationing in Paris needs to know if our company is still a going concern and if the Middle Sister is working here is proof.

I think there is a theme here. Yes, Danielle does stand up and work, she is not always digging...

This is my ideal team. Jodie & Danielle

See, I am working. I'm putting the finishing touch on family room #2. I know I am smiling but I am completely stressed and short of breath from all of the stairs in the house. Wish you were here!

Paris or Work? Paris or Work?

"Let's see, should I stay and help Erin with one of our largest staging jobs or go to Paris?"

Wish us Luck!

We have a very big staging job this week... Never mind Sister Ex is in Paris and has left me with all of this work!!! Wish us luck.
7 bedrooms, 2 family rooms, 4 bathrooms, den, office, sunroom, living room, dining, butlers pantry, laundry room, kitchen and 3 room master suite... Yikes!

Can't wait to show you the transformation.

H&M Home

Would love to see an H&M Home store in the states...

My next time in Amsterdam will be a visit to H&M.

Staging in Mukelteo

Before and After

We brought in a large dining table that seats 6 as this is the only eating space. You need to balance out the space with a look that is not overly formal but can also be used for large dinner parties.

The original table works if it is just an eating nook but this is your only dining area. Plus, it looks dwarfed on the rug.

The original table did not anchor the space. It was too "airey".

With the help of a darker table and a cool wood drum table the entry became a bit more serious.

The master was lacking the drama. Two substantial nightstands were needed and the art was hung too high and far apart.
