Ballard Neighborhood Staging

We all loved this remodeled home that Sister Ex put all her time and energy into.  All the finishes, the paint colors and the creative use of space captured us. It's is fun to stage in beautiful spaces.

Stagers Unite

Sister Extraordinaire and I are heading off to Vegas for a Staging Convention. Yes, there are conventions for Stagers too.

We are leaving the company in the capable hands of our Stager Girls. We have been staging 4-5 jobs each week and what fun seeing the warehouse reduce its inventory. Had a few minutes to rework the Stager Girl office which is getting cuter each time we tweek. Tah Tah for now!

Back to College

All the Stager girls have had to send their kids back to school this week. We celebrate our kids' choices, we struggle with their choices, we listen quietly to their dreams, we marvel at the laundry they produce, the food they consume and the additional bodies in the house. Off they go with their bad ass dreams of what they will become and the adventures they will create. 

This Middle Sister had to photograph the daughter's saving jar that is New York bound.

Stager Girl Office Inspiration

 Sister Ex and I have this table and chair in our NEW warehouse space. We are glamming it up so we have an inspiring space for our big Stager ideas!

We will add a bit of Kelly Wearstler inspiration:

As the Stager girls say "an O.S. chair" for some down time. (When that would be I know not...)

And finish with a wall of art. We are currently buried in stacks of that at the moment.

 Presto! Our office is complete. Photos to follow of the real deal Stager Girl office.

Great Heights for You!

These Stager Girls have no problem with the challenges each home throws our way. Anything it takes to make it a 10!

The Color is Blue...

Sister Ex and I have a passion for blue. You will see it appear often in our staging, in our clothing and in our homes. 

Family Giving

"Dear Santa, Mom said you got lost last year and could not find your way to our house..."
This letter was the beginning of The Forgotten Children's Fund in 1976.

Our yearly outing as a family to wrap gifts for families in need. What a fun time!

Let it be known that we are a very serious family, very serious...

That was not me sticking wrapping paper on Sister Ex!

5th Annual Houzz Event

Sister Ex and I attended the 5th Annual Houzz Event at Seattle Lighting.. We are in the class of 2011-not bad,eh?

Sister EX is front right and this Middle Sister is the shorty in back.

Day in the life of a Stager Girl

We cannot always take ourselves too seriously-even when we are working on a gazillion dollar home.

Truth be told, we were to share a bottle of champagne after completing our sweltering hot Friday job but our deadline got in the way. Damn those deadlines anyway!

Saturday with Redfin

Sister Ex and I were asked to speak about staging to a group of home owners at a Redfin event sponsored by real estate agent Sabrina Booth. For certain she is the Rock Star of Redfin. We are grateful to be asked. Needless to say Sister and I had some good laughs over this crazy Stager Girl journey we have been on.

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!!

Happy good Friday and Happy Easter

The Stager Girls are wishing you all a happy Easter. 

We will be taking a break from beautifying the homes of others and focusing on our own homes.
