Green & Yellow

Staging

Although not much went right with the load in on day 1, everything turned out fine by day 2. Maybe we just needed a good nights sleep. All photos shot by my handy cell phone (that's why they are not fab).

This cute home is listed by Marie Davis for Windermere Real Estate.

Beachy

Don't need a beachy home to create the look (although it would be nice).

Staging

We are going with green and white bedding for our job tomorrow. Think these ZGallarie pillows may be the start of our design.

Help is on the way

I am worn out from playing this work game alone. All too ready for Sister Extraordinare to come to the rescue. It's just more fun with her around helping with the decisions and sharing the responsibilities. It was not fun being so busy without her, no fun handling clients and agents alone, no fun handling the fire in our building, no fun handling insurance paperwork, staging, unloading, billing, collecting, going to the court house, serving papers (another new experience for me), and on and on...

Welcome back. Here are the reins-I will hold on for the ride.



Another Airstream or rather a Silver Streak was added to the family. This one is a 1955 beauty.

It takes my mind off of this cold and wet Seattle winter and on to the open road and possibilities. Here is another look at my 1963 Ourlander Airstream.

Staging Queen Anne

Continuing with our yellow theme we staged an Urban Farmhouse which was a job favorite for us.

This listing is by Wendy Ulman for Urban Dwell.

Yellow

Back to staging and inspiration.... Sister Ex has inspired us with yellow so our staging job today had pops of it that added such freshness and fun. Staging photos to follow but for now I give you yellow...

Rat on a Wheel

Not easy figuring out all the things that must be handled when one is dealing with a smoke filled warehouse due to a fire. Been learning and sorting things out daily.

Click the arrow to see a 5 second video of me working. Really-you must...

Yikes, even the wheel has tipped over. Can anything go right? No time to troubleshoot my video or photo-you get the idea...

Fire!

Not this.....

This....

To our dismay we found out our building partially burned due to a fire. I saw it on the news, phoned Sister Ex in LA who phoned our landlord. An ugly chain reaction.

Here is a truck load of our furniture we tried to salvage.

As soon as this nightmare is over we will be able to pen another chapter in our "Staging Adventures" book. Chapter 28 will be "how to handle the details after a fire has threatened your livelihood." It will follow the chapter on "Emotionally Paralyzed Homeowner leaves job to Stagers."  We have discussed a reality TV show so why not a book...

Urban Farmhouse

We have a fun project coming up in a couple of days. The planning with Sister Extraordinaire has been half the fun. Here are some of the ideas that have been coming up from California.
