Room Re-Do’s

I’ve been busy busy with this staging business.  And let me tell you… it’s hard work!  I come home exhausted from my jobs!  Staging requires a lot of physical work.  And while I consider myself in good shape, it’s a different thing to haul boxes and go up and down stairs all day long.   It’s a good thing that I like design and decorating, otherwise, this would be torture!  Luckily I love the people/friends that I work with and I show up everyday with a smile on my face, grateful for the work.

I just finished up a beautiful $1.75 million home in beautiful Los Gatos, California.  I thought I would share the pictures with you.

This is the entry into the home.  It has a beautiful courtyard to sit and read your morning paper.  This picture is the before and unfortunately I didn’t take a picture of the after, which included a cute lantern and flowers in the hanging baskets.

This is the living room before the staging…

and after…   The cut-outs on the wall matched perfectly with the pillows.  We didn’t plan it, it just happened to come together.

The other side of the room.  The contemporary chairs are a fun metallic silvery blue.

Dining room before…

084

Dining room after.  It’s hard to see from this angle, but the base of this table was very intricate and went very well with the chandelier.  I was so tempted to sit down and open that bottle of wine after spending the day staging the home!

Another angle of the dining room.

Kitchen before….

088

Kitchen after.  With the lighting you can’t see the asian barstools, which looked very cute at the counter.

Family room before…

086

Family room after.  The sisal rug didn’t want to lay down flat for us yet.  With a few hours we are hoping it will cooperate! Smile  So much more homey, don’t you think?

055

Master bedroom before…

100

Master bedroom after!  We have a little “under the sea” theme going in here.

052

Master bathroom before…

106

Master bathroom after.   Cute accessories make all the difference.

Hope you enjoyed my little tour.  If you are in the Silicon Valley area and want to see the home, there is an open house this weekend.  Feel free to contact realtor Gaylene Wyatt at (408) 741-8237 for more information.  Or you can email her at gwyatt@serenogroup.com.

Have a wonderful weekend!

Fantastic work Rebecca! The house looks really beautiful! I realise you haven't updated here in a while now, but perhaps I could persuade you to give your blog a second life over at glipho.com? We're a new social blogging site, and I know our community would love to see your brilliant design work here. Let me know what you reckon!

All the best,
