Semi Staging Project in Toronto- Sold in 4 Days!

Here's a semi bungalow we staged recently in the York University area. It was a vacant and relatively small property so I dont have many photos, but i'm happy to say it sold very quickly in 4 days! Staging really does make a difference so contact us now!

Staging Project in Cathedraltown

Here's a project I staged a few months ago in Cathedraltown, a unique development in northwest Markham built around a huge cathedral of course!  It is a development that features monochromatic homes and townhomes, so it was extra important to make the inside spectacular and unforgettable. The owners happen to be good friends of mine and the husband is a great photographer so we had fun collaborating!

Dining Room After - the space looks a lot more expansive with a formal dining set.

The Loft Before Staging

The loft After. This space was very tricky since it was absolutely huge, so I divided it into three sections. An entertaining section by the balcony, an office and a family living space.

I loved this Loft! A casual and beachy family and entertaining space

In the kitchen we added a backsplash to make it fresher

 The basement was a well planned but unfinished space that we had finished for the sale of the home.

Staging Project in Bridle Trail (Markham) - 6 Offers and Sold Way Over Asking!

Living Room Before

I was fortunate enough to travel to Japan and Korea these past few weeks so i'm very behind when it comes to my posts. Here is a beautiful home in Bridle Trail that belonged to a lovely family that had to suddenly relocate. We took care of all of the staging and arrangements for touch-ups for the house. When we were finished with the home, it went on the market and received 6 offers. Of course, it sold way over the asking price and the owners were very happy with our services!

Basement After Staging - The furniture from the living room was moved downstairs to create a practical and casual living space.

Every corner counts! A lovely guest retreat was created in one of the basement bedrooms.

"Blind" Staging Project at 1070 Sheppard Ave

It's truly blogging catch up day... here's the most recent staging project I did (even though I didnt get to posting some projects before this one) at a condo at Sheppard and Allen Rd. It's a one bedroom plus den with two bathrooms.The goal was to bring light into a space that was otherwise very dark and dim. Here's the living room, accented with white and navy. This staging project was done without actually even looking at the space prior to bringing the furniture, since I was out of the country. There's a first for everything!

Most condos nowadays are built with an open concept in mind, so make sure there are some colours that are similar (not matching) from one space to another. In this case it's the tumbled marble backsplash and espresso cabinet colours, which are similar to the dining and living room furniture.

Staging Project in Markham

I wanted to share some photos of my recent staging project for a 5 level back split in Markham. It was vacant (having been completely renovated by the owners), so I had a blank slate to maximize the space!

This large basement bedroom was staged to show that it could be either a large bedroom or living area.

Sold! Our Last Staging Project's Before & After

I just wanted to post some of the before and after pictures of the last project I worked on, which was close to downtown Toronto. I'm so blessed to have had the chance to work on this house and very happy to announce that it was sold in just a little over a week!
Below: The door was repainted with the classic designer favourite, "Million Dollar Red". We re-opened a previous opening from the foyer to the living room and capped it with trim..

The Living Room Before

 After: The walls were refreshed and replastered with a few fresh coats of Benjamin Moore paint (Grey Cashmere 2138-60). The wood burning fireplace is accented and highlighted with architectural pictures of Paris.

Flanking the entrance of the living room:  I picked up these two rounded spindle back antique chairs from the Roncesvalles antique area, which happened to be the exact same chairs that the owner of the house grew up with!

 The Dining Room After: I reupholstered the window bench with French striped cloth from Designer Fabrics. The linen curtains are from Ikea. The gorgeous domed ceiling was painted Dove White (OC-18).

 Kitchen Before

After: I used one of my favourite paint colours of all time, Ocean Air (2123-50) by Benjamin Moore. The fresh new eat-in kitchen area now feels breezy and refreshed.

 Bedroom Before...

 After: All three bedrooms on the third floor received new trim, paint and new carpet. The gorgeous beamed ceiling's height was now a lot more evident thanks to the trim paint (Cloud White - OC-130). The room was decorated as an office with just the right amount of whimsy.

Guest Bedroom Before: My favourite feature of this bedroom before was the large "Swollen Members" sticker that was stuck on one of the beams. Kidding aside, this room had great light and great bones to be a wonderful guest bedroom.

 After: The room is now bright, cozy and a very comfortable spot to enjoy the views! I especially love these black and white bird curtains I scored from Ikea.

 Master Bedroom Before... This was certainly the most interesting bedroom floor that I had ever seen, but let's just say that the new cut berber carpet fits better.

 After: Somehow, the copper pipes used as drapery rods didn't make the cut (although it's an ingenious idea that could be used in another space!). Now the master bedroom is a large retreat away that's reminiscent of the nearby Beach neighbourhood. I love the client's painted dresser from the first bedroom that ended up being the perfect accent to this room.
*Tip: By switching the light fixtures around from room to room, I was able to save the clients hundreds of dollars!
