Last week we had the pleasure of staging an adorable, but vacant, Mar Vista family home. It had been used as a rental for awhile, so the homeowner invested in paint, new flooring and cosmetic fixes. Then they brought in a professional Los Angeles home stager to make it feel like home! Click her

When I got the call, I will admit I was intrigued. A 1970s Ray Kappe architectural property was how the agent described it. How on earth were we going to make the ’70s appealing to today’s buyer? When I visited the home, I fell in love with it. Sure there was some deferred maintenance that would

Today I had an experience that reminded me why I LOVE my job as the owner of a Los Angeles Home Staging company. It reminded me that I do so much more than help people prepare their homes for sale. Some days I am also a Real Estate therapist. Today was one of those days! With all the craziness in

We recently Staged an adorable vacant townhome in Santa Monica. It had been listed for awhile with no offers, so we were brought in to help buyers see the potential. The townhome had been painted and remodeled, so we had a great canvas to work with! Unfortunately the awkward layout of the living

A few weeks ago I celebrated my 10 year wedding anniversary with a trip to New England to see the fall foliage. That part of the country is breathtaking this time of year, but even in places like Southern California we can enjoy fall’s bounty! There’s no better way to get in the fall spirit than
