Staging Is Not Just For Real Estate

Staging is not only for residential real estate sales.  Even though staging has been proven to sell homes faster and for more money, staging is not limited to just real estate.  Working with a Home Stager for other projects like; Home Show Booths, T.V. Sets, Store Merchandising, etc., can not only save you money but can easily create the ideal ambience for your project.  Below are a couple before & after décor transformations for a Home Show Booth & a T.V. Set we designed for clients.

An elegant, bright, modern Home Show Booth we designed for a Custom Home Builder.  What a way to make an impact and catch people's eyes. This booth definitely stood out from the crowd and the furniture and décor pieces were rented for the duration of the show.  Our clients really wanted to create a living room feel where they could showcase their business.

What an amazing transformation of this TV Set for 'From Selling to Sold' which aired on Cogeco.  Our clients left it to us to design to entire set and arrange for the furniture & décor rental for the duration of filming.  This was a fun project and definitely showed that staging can be more than just for real estate.

Eco-Friendly Ways to Eliminate Pesky Summer Pests From Your Garden & Home

Garden:

• Mosquitoes: Rub a dryer sheet all over clothing and place additional dryer sheets in pockets of clothing.
• Snails: Use copper around your plants and at the bottom of your pots.
• Ants: Sprinkle cornmeal at the base of plants and on flower buds.
• Red Lily Beetle: If you are noticing holes in your lily’s (any variety) you probably have these beetles. Remove the red lily beetles when you see them and spray plants with neem oil (read directions on the bottle for proper usage).
• Squirrels & Rabbits: Do not use chili peppers and/or cayenne pepper even though many suggest. It can cause blindness if the animal rubs it into their eyes. We recommend one or all of the following:
• Human/Pet Hair
• Ferment chopped garlic in luke warm water for 1-2 days and pour around plants.
• Sprinkle Bone Meal at the base of your plants which will also act as a fertilizer.

Home:

• Fruit Flies: Pour ½ a cup of apple cider vinegar + dish soap into a bowl and place near fruit & near your green bin.
• Fungus Gnats: Place Sticky Stiks® in your indoor plants. If you have a large Fungus Gnat infestation check out our blog on “Organic and Safe Ways to Eliminate Fungus Gnats”
