Staging Bellevue

Very pleased with how this project turned out. It's log cabin-y look was turned into a sophisticated home.

Room makeover for my 12 year old

Mom's goal was no posters. I did not tell daughter that-I just guided her to do some framed art. (Of course growing up I had posters of Snoopy "Feeling Groovy", Elton John in his crazy costumes, Leif Garret, David Cassidy so I would not have said "no".)

Here was our starting point. One photo to help guide our color choices. The paint color is Benjamin Moore Electric Blue. You may remember, this is the exact blue that Carrie from Sex in the City used in her apartment.

 Then sweet daughter put together these swatches  to see how she wanted to add color.

We went from vintage white furniture, white and sage green ticking wall paper and a white iron bed to this:

We are still in need of a cute black night stand that I am hoping will come via a yard sale or junk store and a new lamp with a white shade.  Daughter has really cute bedding but she wanted everything white for a little while longer.  Super mom painted the bed and assembled the Ikea dresser.

These are the pictures she has hanging over her bed.

Daughter is thrilled and said she is motivated to keep her room clean...what ever works!

Warehouse Sale

It's time for our yearly warehouse cleaning sale. We are struggling to find a weekend but will have a date very soon. Our warehouse is located in the Ravenna neighborhood of Seattle. Send us your email so that we can let you know.

There will be: chairs, art, tables, bedding sets, lamps, accessories, linens, pillows and much more. The deals are fabulous 'cause we don't want it back in our warehouse-that's the object,right?!

Stylish Campers

Just purchased a sweet canopy to sit next to our Airstream. This will be a super cute place to take cover. It's an easy to carry pop up canopy. (That part looks deceiving, I know).  The canopy below is the one I purchased.

I originally wanted this canopy but it was sold out by the time I went to order. I love that it has a fabric wall.

Another option...

Found them at Ace Canopy online. Will be trying out the new camping look middle of June so I will take photos.

Cold Stagers

We were under dressed for a job that had no heat. Thankfully some of the bedding worked to keep us warm.

West Seattle Staging

 Had a ton of fun being creative with this job. We had to pair pieces together we never thought we would and are thrilled with the outcome. Our warehouse is getting low as we are out our record high with staged homes.

Garlic & Saphires

This is a good food book. Tales of Ruth Reichl working as the NY Times food critic and eating her way through New York's restaurants in her various disguises.

Shopping without Sister Ex

Had a big job on Wednesday so I recruited my mother to help me with the shopping. Let me be clear, I am not the company shopper-I do not like that part of the job. But Sister Ex is out of town and the task has fallen to me so off I went...to Z Gallerie in Redmond Town Center.

 How fun would this be to move your bed under a canopy for the summer? That would be the best "staycation" ever.

 We don't have much yellow in our staging. I think this would be a great sunny start. Sister Ex bought the green vase below and it looks great in a job.

Off to complete our staging job today with all the new accessories. It is looking super cute. Photos to follow!
