The “Before” photo! :). We are about to start refinishing the cabinets in our kitchen. It’s come a long way already; custom island, new granite countertops, Blanca sink, new appliances, new tile flooring, new light fixtures and a new faucet and hardware. Now comes the transformation of the cabinets! I’m excited!! Wish me luck y’all! #kitchenrenovation

Grand Central Station at our house! We made this by using a plywood board, that we screwed onto the wall and painted it with magnetic chalkboard paint. Then we framed it with some decorative trim. Our kids love using the chalkboard and their magnetic letters. I added our family calendar to the top. 🙂 #carriagehousestaginganddesign
New holders for marketing material. I set one of these on a table in homes I’ve staged.
Some sunny table dressing just in time for Spring! I love using yellow for spring and summer decor (actually, I like using yellow any time of year!) because it’s such a warm, happy color that adds energy and lifts the spirit! 
Some additional photos of the ranch style home we staged last week. This property was so much fun to stage! 
It’s all in the details. :). I like adding tiny touches of something unexpected. #carriagehousestaginganddesign
When I stage homes for resale I always add a touch of something unique to the towels. This adds some design style with the added bonus of ensuring less people use them to dry their hands when visiting a staged property. I added simple raffia and some 
greenery to the towels in this photo.
We staged another home in Colorado Springs, with Vignette Staging this week! 
I really love this quote by Nate Berkus. 
No More Ugly Baby Gate!!
This is the new swinging barn door “gate” my BIL made for the top of our stairway. I just love it! No more ugly baby gate!!!!! Whoop whoop! Now to select the stain that will perfectly match to the adjacent railing and kitchen cabinets. To be continued……. 😊. Here is a photo of the finished barn gate! We are really happy about the way it turned out!
