Chintz & Co. Part 2

The fabric department is my favorite area in Chintz & Co. Beautiful options, inspiring prints and plenty to choose from. There is often a line of creative women waiting for the yardage to be cut and the sewing to begin.

The Sister's are off

We are taking leave of schlepping furniture and tromping through homes across Seattle for some Rest and Relaxation. Leaving the Open House Stager Girls to hold up the fort and continue to beautify.

This Middle Sister is in Phoenix

And sister Ex is on Maui

Now that is inspiration!!

Closed for some R & R

The Staging Sisters are heading for sunshine in different directions until the new year. (that makes it sound like a long time!)

Hawaii....

Palm Springs...

We will be back ready to stage away. January will be very busy. Everyone is optimistic!

2016 Here we come!

Our Palm Springs Digs

My favorite was the Slim Aarons print over the sectional titled "Poolside Gossip". Sets the mood for sure.

See? Pretty fabulous digs, right?

PALM SPRINGS!

Sister Ex and I are absolutely exhausted. We just finished a 7000 sq foot home. The American Express is on fire so I am removing it from my sister's hands so that it can cool down for a few days. We have acquired some of the most fabulous and artfully designed furniture which is the good part of all of the work.

We are now off to Palm Springs, leaving our company in the trusty hands of our amazing staff.

Cheers!!

Checking out for a few summer days

This Middle Sister is leaving the stager girls behind for a few days. Off on another Airstream adventure and a bit of glamping.

Temporarily Checking Out

Leaving my stager girls for but a moment. Gotta hit the road for some R & R. See you very soon!

Closed

It will be silent on my end for a few days. I am off in search of R & R, food, family, friends, sunshine and heat.

Off for 2 Weeks

This Middle Sister has handed the baton over to Sister Ex for 2 weeks. I am off for sunny pastures across the world... We have many beautiful houses to show you when I return.

Enjoy the weekend

Taking Friday off...jumping on a plane...landing in San Fran...meeting friends...ordering wine with lunch...so much to do...so little time...

See you Tuesday!

Gambling, Golfing and Gabbing

This Stager girl was lucky to be invited to an annual golf tournament. I learned first hand why anyone who is invited says "Yes!". What a blast!

As a visual girl, of course I had to pick out the best looking golf bag. The ever so savvy black and white bag won hands down. There was not an official category for this but I'd like to offer up that idea for next year.

Another category I would suggest is the cutest outfit award but the rain dampened that part. As the rookie in the group I don't think they would buy into any of my ever so superficial award categories. I guess we came for golf...

The after golf gathering was another lesson in watch and learn from the pros. There was an abundance of laughter, drinking and snacking and the award for the winning team. Not for the cutest bag, not for the cutest shoes or hats, just golf. Dang, my new BFF's are serious.

On to dinner for more of the same: laughing, story telling, drinking and food. What fun, I think, for everyone. I am beginning to understand why this is a coveted road trip.

Alas, most everyone left so our last night was a mellow evening at a wonderful Italian restaurant. Perhaps I should have proposed my expanded award program to the smaller group. At any rate, you are looking at the Putt Putt golf champion-yes you are. Lowest score with a pocket of dollar bills to prove it.

I am not getting asked back next year. I just know it... because the word will get out that despite the rainy golf we had an outstanding time. No one will call in sick. Ugh...
