Baby, Its Cold Outside





I'm still adjusting to the cold weather! I prefer to be warm, but I'm dealing. Reading Veranda, I found a Wyoming home that makes winter a lot more palatable:) I just want to curl up by the fireplace in a beautiful wool blanket. If you're wondering, the design is by Barbara Barry. Her amazing eye definitely shows.

Friday Favorite: The Stagers

Have you watched The Stagers on HGTV? I really love this show! Unfortunately, since I like it, it must mean that its not a very popular show. I'm not sure why any time I like an HGTV show, it always seems to bomb. Perhaps I need to move to Canada. My favorite shows are Canadian and they do well there. Oh well!
I'm addicted to this show, because I think their designs are great and its just fun to watch. Home staging is different than interior design, because of its unique approach. In order to stage a home must be attractive w/out being too personal. I think it can be a challenge for homeowners to separate themselves from their own homes, so I agree w/ bringing in professionals to help. Also, with the current market being what it is, making your home as attractive as possible has to be a good thing!
The stagers are part of a Canadian company called Dekora. It looks like an amazing place that stores a massive amount of furniture, art and accessories available for staging. Personally, I have never run across a place quite like this, but would kill to do so!
Yikes!!!
If I were walking through this house, I would be tempted to runaway as fast as I could.

Ahhh! When can I move in?
P.S.
I would love to get opinions of any designers reading this article about your feelings on staging.
Worthy cause, or passing fad?

Happy Halloween!

Hope you and all the little ones have a fun Halloween!
Before I sign off, I wanted to share this great idea from a client's house. She purchased a cool, vintage "Skeletal System" poster from Etsy. We then installed it in her entry as a spooky welcome for all those trick-or-treaters. I also couldn't resist posting this little cutie in such an adorable dress:)
