Setting the stage does not only mean furnishing…

September 22, 2015 By Annie and Bob Pacieznik Leave a Comment

Staging has become such a buzz word in today's real estate market. The word is thrown around a lot, but at the end of the day, what does it really mean?

Home Staging includes closets, entryways, mud rooms, breeze ways, foyers...whatever door you come in is right where you need the most help in organization and de-cluttering. Personally I could spend all day moving shoes around my front hall...which tells me that my system isn't working. In any Continue Reading

One of the benefits of staging a home for sale is that the simplistic order and sparsity may have a calming affect on your mental state.  Inner worlds can mimic the outer world, and visa versa. Have you ever had one of those days when your expectations for the day are so far from reality that you Continue Reading

Home Staging:Recycle and Reinvent

October 3, 2014 By Annie and Bob Pacieznik Leave a Comment

This photo shows a "dining set" that is really two lawn chairs and an old table from the garage...we wanted to show a dining room without purchasing a new dining room set...and we did it! As a home stager, I am a recycler, meaning, I like to use what is already in the home in a re-invented Continue Reading
