I thought this week was going to be relatively quiet. Boy was I wrong.
The week started out at a Staging of a 2800sq ft bachelor pad in Hampton New Hampshire. The house itself is gorgeous but just needed a few tweaks to appeal to a family. I brought 15 drapery rods, 4 window shades, and 20 window panels along with a truckload of accessories, bedding, pillows, etc. Unfortunately, I was a little off in my estimating of how long it would take to transform this space - gee just about five hours off. In the end the difference was amazing. If you want to see the before and after pics check out this link: http://www.facebook.com/home.php?#/album.php?aid=178470&id=66273677111&ref=mf
What I love about that staging job is that I used a lot of accessories, colors, etc that I have not used before and they turned out beautifully! Hint: red drapes are amazing! They really brighten up a dull room, especially when complimented with red pillows and other splashes of red.
Tuesday I met with Jessica Grant of Jess Foto to swap new head shots for some design help in her new studio in Winchester. What a great day! We had a blast. She is off buying gorgeous drapes and working on paint colors as I type this. I cannot wait to see the final product.
I just signed another model unit in Boston - an apartment complex in the South End. I am very excited about this project. The buyer is a young 20-something single person so I think we can have some fun with this. I am thinking West Elm and CB2 for inspiration.
I am still working on that Staging Class schedule for this year. I HOPE to have that to you soon!
