Girl’s bedroom ideas – 10 steps to the ideal space
Posted by wp-admin on 10 Jun 2010 | Tagged as: Welcome
How to create the perfect little girl’s room
- 1) Start with a neutral base
Keep the backdrop pale and simple, and update with accessories as the fads come and go.
- 2) Maximise storage
Make use of awkward nooks with custom shelving and buy under-bed boxes for clothes and toys.
- 3) Pick versatile furniture
A day bed will last through to her teens, doubling as a sofa for reading or chatting to friends.
- 4) Use durable finishes
Washable wall paint, vinyl wallpaper and tough floor paint will make the space child-proof.
- 5) Make a play corner
Add fabric-covered foam blocks for squashy seating and storage for dressing-up clothes.
- 6) Add the right lighting
Use a combination of ambient and task lighting for reading, colouring, games and puzzles.
- 7) Choose versatile bed linen
She might pester you for cartoon-character designs, but go for something classic.
-
Add soft touches
Floor cushions are a must, so she can make herself comfortable while playing.
- 9) Pick simple window treatments
Go for simple curtains or a roller blind, which she can open herself.
- 10) Let her express herself
Don’t make every decision for her – let her pick accessories and add favourite things. Plus, why not paint a wall or panel with blackboard paint for her artwork? Dust-free chalks will minimise mess.

Is Home Staging Expensive?
Posted by wp-admin on 11 Feb 2010 | Tagged as: Welcome
Yes! It can be a very expensive mistake for a home seller not to have their property staged! With 80% of home buyers surfing the internet and pre screening homes, ask yourself does your property stand out when compared to others in your area and in the same price range? If it doesn’t, why doesn’t it?
Don’t you want your property to sell quickly… so you can move closer to the kids, go live in Europe for awhile, or buy that cute little cottage down by the lake!
There is significant evidence out there that STAGING WORKS, so it is frustrating to watch home sellers take price reductions on the list price their home rather than stage it.
Perhaps it is because some just cannot see the VALUE in staging their home. They tell themselves that the current way of selling a home has always worked so why change. But with progress comes change, and part of that change is HOME STAGING.
Really when you think about it, would you sell your car without at least cleaning the junk out of it first. For that matter would you sell anything that you thought had value without fixing, repairing, updating it first. No Way!
You would want to get the most money for it as possible! You placed a value on the item when you purchased it and you would want whomever buys the item to perceive the same value. It is no different with your home, it is even more important. There is more money at stake!
So before you list your property for sale, or if your property is already listed contact a local real estate agent that is familiar with Home Staging and its benefits, then as a team you can work together to get the most value from likely the biggest investment in your life!

Well I certainly cannot say that
this time! The Team from Shoestring Home Staging left last Saturday for the first International RESA convention! We knew it was going to be fun and exciting, just because of the local. What we did not plan on was how much we were going to take home with us.
We learned about collaborating with Real Estate Agents, pricing and the benefits of using social media to get ourselves more visible. We met Bethany Souza from “Designed to Sell” and Matthew Finlason from W networks “The Stagers”. Talk about being awe struck.
It was really fantastic to put faces to names of ones we have dealt with on Active Rain and thru RESA, it was like catching up with old friends. We made new friends as well!
A big Thank You to Cathy Lee and Kathleen Garvey for being inspirational and authentic! We really enjoyed getting to know you both!
We are eagerly looking forward to the next RESA convention in 2011.
What happens is Vegas stays in Vegas, it didnt this time and we are very happy about that!!!
