Just Like the Model-Los Angeles

Our favorite stop: A warehouse full of furniture, art, accessories that were used in model homes.

We purchased this super hip leather sofa and love seat for our Seattle condos.

 All 3 of us wanted to put these chairs in our own homes but the company won out and they now reside in our warehouse.

 These chairs are already working away in a lovely Bellevue condo. 

We had our work cutout for us. Had to comb through this warehouse several times over to pick the best of the best for our clients.

 This also ended up at our recent Bellevue staging. 

 Most of the artwork is chosen by Sister Ex and we had plenty to choose from. 

 The best part was seeing Sister Ex and Jo pull up with a Uhaul trailer. Sister Ex is always up for trying something crazy and new-especially when it involves a good laugh. And laugh we did!

 Here are some of our purchases. 

All in all our LA trip was more for adventure and inspiration. Not for cock-tailing, dining, sunshine, getting away or any of that shallow stuff. We had our clients in mind and want to make 2016 our best staging year ever!

Turning 50 in Palm Springs!

Heading to Palm Springs to celebrate Sister Ex's 50th birthday and our dear friend Lisa's 50th. Love stepping off the plane in the heat!

We are off for a long weekend of lounging at a fabulous home (photos to follow), shopping and dining. Lucky us!

Palm Springs Love...

Modern Organic

We are digging this look lately. Very little color, just textures, patterns, neutrals. It feels and looks tranquil and effortless.

Time for a little beauty

No time to show any stagings so here is a bit of Spring beauty.

Palm Springs Modernism Week 2014

Signing off for a few days as I head to Palm Springs for a ton of inspiration. This Middle Sister has tickets to the Vintage Trailer Show, Prefab Show, Mid Century Designer Show House, Double decker bus tour of Mid century homes and a Jump and Jive dinner party. A huge week of fun!

Indoor Beauty

Had my camera in my bag at Mass on Sunday so I pulled it out (to the embarrassment of my kids) and took some photos. Sometimes I get lost in thought at all the beautiful details and hand painted beams. I would also like to be able to hang the huge lantern light in a home.

Christmas Decor

Love how the picture in the background has the cows grazing in the field. Perfect!

 My Entryway

Sister Ex knew this was my kind of Santa...

This is what it's all about

Simple inspiration

We stage so many bedrooms that it is nice to get a bit of inspiration from Houzz.com

 Today we are staging a bedroom with  2 brick walls. It needs a whole lot of softening....
