I really enjoy staging homes for resale. I love the creativity involved, and the challenge of, staging each home to show off its individual character and highlight its strengths. Here are a few examples of small details I like to use when staging with Vignettes. Yummy treats, spa-like bath salts, cook books, dressing up towels…..its all in the details. 🙂

Easy Entry
This is the entry from our garage and a place to hang backpacks on the way in. I used a piece of pallet wood to make the wall hooks. 
Kitchen Design
Met with a client today to select a new backsplash. I love the traditional subway tiles- especially in the cool gray pictured on the right. Isn’t it gorgeous? 
Staging Works!
This gorgeous home in Pine Creek was under contract in 8 days! Staging Works!
Staging Works!
This vacant ranch style home was under contract in less than a week with some vignette staging ! 
Kitchen Renovation
This is a photo of our kitchen before and after our mini- renovation. The last detail will be adding new bar stools to match the color pallet and character of this space. We are loving how open and “airy” the kitchen feels with the color change. The island is a lot bigger yet it feels like there is more space now. 
Kitchen Design
I spent the afternoon, with a client, narrowing down some finishes for their new kitchen today. The grey stained poplar will be the island with white shaker cabinets and gorgeous quartz countertops. I really like the satin nickel hardware we selected! I was so impressed with the service at Plush Designs Kitchen and Bath (in downtown Colorado Springs). Kitchen design is so much fun it doesn’t feel at all like work to me! 🙂

Pottery Barn Styling
I love this Pottery Barn console table. I collect snow globes from each place we travel to see. This table helps create a subtle display for them. 
Vignette Staging of a Guest Bathroom
I keep decor in bathrooms relatively simple and always use white towels. People associate white with “clean” in bathrooms. I try to add plants or some greenery in each bathroom I stage or style with Vignettes as well. Plants tend to soften the harshness of bathrooms and dress them up a little.
