>This video captures several rooms we staged in a home that recently sold in Louisville. The owners had remodeled the home and put in new finishes and paint. They picked neutral colors to help the home appeal to as many buyers as possible, but still, the home needed a little color and life. That’s what [...]
Boxes Everywhere

>I probably don’t need to tell you that moving is a pain. Overwhelming is not a big enough word for it. I’ve moved six times in the last eight years, so maybe that makes me an expert, or maybe not. At any rate, I have learned a few things that have helped me feel less [...]
Update a Living Room
July 5, 2010 By
Recently I worked with a client who wanted me to help her choose paint and “do something” with her living room. The room featured a comfortable neutral couch and loveseat, oak tables and entertainment center, lots of pictures of family and lots of doonies. A couple of crocheted afghans covered the backs of the furniture. [...]
Staging Consultation Gets Rave Review
June 26, 2010 By
In May, a realtor client of ours hired us to do a walk-through of her seller’s house . The home owner was delightful–funny and receptive to our suggestions. We enjoyed working with him so much. Here’s what he thought of us: I have a very unusual, beautiful home in the foothills of Boulder that needed [...]
Solving Problems
June 11, 2010 By
It seems that each project we have is about solving problems. How to make a room look larger, how to bring more light in, how to make clients’ furniture work in an awkward space. How to update a faux-stone fireplace. Back to the CWEE boutique I blogged about last time. When I made the curtains [...]
CWEE Gets a New Boutique
May 27, 2010 By
Do you remember when you were a kid, dressing up the basement to make a clubhouse? Well, that’s what we’ve been doing lately–converting a basement storage room into a funky place for a used clothing boutique for CWEE–the Center for Work Education and Employment. Check out their website to learn more at http://www.cwee.org/. We chose [...]
A Little Help from a Friend
May 17, 2010 By
Here’s a note from our friend and client, Jan in Denver. She has fabulous taste in furniture and art! She just wanted a little help with her bedroom and office. Last year I had my bedroom painted–three walls are orchid and the accent wall is salmon! I lived with this for a year, wondering if [...]
Everywhere We Look There’s Work To Do!
May 7, 2010 By
If you haven’t heard, we’ve moved. Liz and Conor moved to a new condo and then I moved two days later. We helped each other in both cases and therefore didn’t get our own houses in order as fast as we usually would. Now, everywhere we look, there’s work to do! Moving to a new [...]
Celebrate Earth Day
April 22, 2010 By
Tomorrow virtually every country in the world is celebrating Earth Day. The first Earth Day was in 1970–that was before the first energy crisis, before PCPs were banned because of their effect on wildlife and ground water, before recycling was common. I recycled when it wasn’t popular, have carried canvas tote bags to the grocery [...]
Life is Good!
April 2, 2010 By
April Fool’s Day I really have to get better at blogging. It’s been two months since I posted here. I’m pledging to do it once a week–no fooling. Please check back and keep me honest! A lot can happen in two months. Liz and I have had several successes lately. I sold my house! Actually [...]
