Sustainability with Style and Design
With our earth’s resources dwindling and the need to reduce consumption, a simple change in choosing furniture but not sacrificing your style can make an impact.
For example, choose furniture that has good bones. A well-constructed sofa with the use of metal or hardwood framing will be well worth reupholstering when needed thereby saving you money, resources and landfill space!
Choose furniture with timeless classic lines. You can adjust your style to the piece by accessorizing.
For example, you might think that Grand mom’s classic Chippendale rocker will not fit your modern style, but by adding a pillow with a contemporary design or throw blanket could add interest and make a perfect compliment to your room. An added plus, knowing that a little of part of grand mom is present.
Think eclectic!
Over the years you may have purchased furniture or accents that may not reflect your present style. Don’t be so quick to head the unwanted pieces to the dumpster. Try working these pieces in with your new design. After experimenting, you may only need to add a few new items. If you feel stuck, don’t give up. Ask for help. Call your interior redesigner for a consultation.
Recycle!

Home Staging With Ikea And The New 2009 Ikea Catalog
Did you know that homes sell faster when staged by a professional stager?
Statistics prove that staged homes sell faster and sellers maximize their profit.
Everyday your home stays on the market; you lose money, which erodes into your profit. Operating expenses can be costly when keeping your home on the market for a long period of time. Every time your home needs to be readied for a "walk through" or "open house" it costs you money i.e. landscaping, house keeping and advertising expenses (just to name a few) and most of all, if you are moving to another home, you are losing your ability to "lock-in" at a current desirable interest rate. Having your new borrowing mortgage rate change, even a ¼ of a point, could make a difference in your qualifying for that new mortgage. Why take that chance?
Why wait? Increase your odds of selling your home faster and reduce the competition by using a Professional Stager. Stagers will not only get the job done but get it done correctly and help you get top dollar for your home.
The cost of staging is very affordable and insignificant to the savings that you will gain by obtaining that buyer!
