Home Staging: Don’t Get Backed into a Corner or Up Against a Wall

October 28, 2015 By Annie and Bob Pacieznik Leave a Comment

I just wanted to share the simplest of home staging "rules." Never line up the furniture around the perimeter of the room, pushed right up to the wall. It would seem that this would be the best way to maximize space, especially in smaller rooms, BUT it is not! Always leave a little room between the Continue Reading

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? I look at staging almost literally...when you "set the stage" for a theatrical production, you are setting the tone, conjuring emotions and Continue Reading

Home Staging color choices:Brown and Green…and red!

July 27, 2015 By Annie and Bob Pacieznik Leave a Comment

What I have discovered in the way of universal, neutral, and lovely in the way of color is that what pleases my eye mimics what I see in nature...Brown and green, in many shades and textures make a perfect backdrop for a few punches of color, my all time favorite being red. Orange and deep plum also Continue Reading

Home Staging: Cutting your Coleus, brown and green, the power of three

June 30, 2015 By Annie and Bob Pacieznik Leave a Comment

Home Staging and vases for decor. Nothing says fresh and pretty like a vase and greenery...I like herb cuttings, coleus cuttings, and anything else from my backyard that will root and stay green for weeks into months. As much as I love fresh flower arrangements, they are neither practical nor cost Continue Reading

Home Staging Lesson:The Power of Three

April 1, 2015 By Annie and Bob Pacieznik Leave a Comment

Home Staging design tenets are often helpful to think about in a number of scenarios.  I often tout the power of three whether it be in flower arrangement, knick-knack design, color schemes, heights, depths, photographs, furniture scenarios...You get the picture. Three is a magic number. (So are one Continue Reading

Home Staging to Sell v. Moving in and making it mine…

March 30, 2015 By Annie and Bob Pacieznik Leave a Comment

As a realtor representing both buyers and sellers, I see the sale/purchase of a home from both sides of the transaction. On the Seller side, we talk about staging, de-cluttering, de-personalizing, cleaning, repairing, cosmetic painting, floor fixing, neutralizing and appealing to many while Continue Reading

Home Staging and magic of plants: Go Green

March 20, 2015 By Annie and Bob Pacieznik Leave a Comment

Home Staging in the middle of winter, how to say "fresh"? Go green. This time of year, when the tired snow,dreary greys and browns out our windows are less than inspiring, anything green sounds fabulously springy. So get some green in your house. Grow green grass indoors. Kids love to plant it and Continue Reading

Home Staging:Winter Greens-More than spruce in your pots

November 1, 2014 By Annie and Bob Pacieznik Leave a Comment

Home Staging and the fall leaf project: never ending until the snow blankets the lawn!!! Which brings me to another subject I often visit---those front step pots. My mums and pumpkins are ready for the compost bin. With this morning's snow, I am ready to dive into the winter greenery, berries, and 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

Love the Home Staging…

February 5, 2014 By Annie and Bob Pacieznik Leave a Comment

So Bob and I just finished staging a listing of ours...a truly lovely home.  And I can't help but jump up and down with excitement just a little bit.  I love to stage a house.  There is nothing so rewarding as spending a couple of hours, sweating it out, rearranging existing furniture, lighting, and Continue Reading
