The sea defines Westhampton New York. The wide stretch of white sand that runs along its southern border is the place where its people have been coming for hundreds of years to play, work, socialize, and be alone. The power and beauty of the ocean waves are life-sustaining forces, as is the sense of peaceful solitude that comes with being in such a primeval place, with the seagulls, the sea breezes, and September's monarch butterflies.   03/29/2010

  Most people think Home Staging consists solely of de-cluttering, de-personalizing, cleaning and maintenance which all seems pretty intuitive and many people don’t believe they need to hire someone to explain those processes. I agree, many Real Estate professionals are adept at advising on these issues. What is not so straightforward is implementing the design principles involved in good staging and utilizing the psychology behind designing to sell. This is where professional staging becomes more complex. In fact, contrary to what many people think, the best “staged” homes are not bland and boring or de-personalized, they are inspiring and they incite buyers to fall in love. They are “staged” so buyers can visualize themselves living in the home. The real business of Interior Merchandi... 03/18/2010
