What a difference!

This home was beautiful, and the furniture and accessories of the owner made the home feel "Big and Grand". But the owners had already purchased another home in another state, so they were forced to pack up their things and move out. After they left, we removed wallpaper and staged the home. Removing the wallpaper in the hall bath and the kitchen really made a difference!

Beautiful Antiques!

This home was filled with the most beautiful antiques. There was no question in our minds but to keep the antiques and stage them in a way that was simple, but yet gives buyers an opportunity to see the square footage and amenities. It was a challenge, but yet so much fun to work with such beautiful furniture.

A Beautiful Home!








This was such a wonderful project! We were first in the home about the middle of April. The homeowners had such beautiful things, we knew it would look awesome once it was staged. We made some pretty big recommendations to the living room by asking them to remove the red wallpaper and re-paint a neutral color. In the master bedroom we asked them to remove a huge armoire and replace with a small chair and ottoman we saw in another room. They had their desk in the kitchen, and we asked them to move it upstairs and make an office out of a spare room. We even asked them to paint their shutters on the outside of their home. They were so motivated! They did almost everything we suggested, and the home looks fantastic. I am sure it will be the one to show for realtors!

On A Mission

Although staging homes for the real estate market is a passion of ours, we recently were given the unique opportunity to prepare a home for a missionary family. This home needed a lot of TLC, and we received a lot of wonderful help! The entire home was painted and cleaned, and we received many donations of furniture and items to stock the home for a family of 6! The home turned out beautiful and we enjoyed every minute of planning, purchasing and decorating! It was a great experience to use the talents and gifts we've been given, to give back!

Downtown Living

Downtown KC is growing and has a lot of great places to live. The owner already had beautiful furniture and just needed a few touches to make it "Wow" for potential buyers.

Family Rooms

Family Rooms in most homes are the most fun and have all the games and equipment to do so.

However, when preparing for sale, the home needs to look relaxing and fun, but with clean lines and a sense of order.

Making a home warm and inviting is a key element in staging. Lamps are a great way to give ambiance to a room.

Living vs Selling

The way you live in your bedroom is much different that the way you stage your bedroom. TVs and media equipment don't show well. Instead, make your room a haven, a relaxing intimate place that buyers want to spend time in.

No Vacancy!





We were presented with a fantastic opportunity to stage an empty loft. Vacant properties stretch your creativeness, because you can do anything you want with a blank room! The floors and ceilings are cement, but the walls were a pretty soft muted yellow, which provided a lot of warmth to the room. There were an abundence of windows in some rooms, and zero windows in others! We used a lot of up-lights and trees to give live to the rooms. It was a great experience!
