We are a little crazy with our scheduling right now trying to do home after home. This week we've been scraping the bottom of our inventory bucket and trying to 'make it work' as Tim Gunn would say. Here is the home we finished today. The only thing I bought was a sofa ..... The shelves are looking really really empty and Bevin has been scrambling for chairs, tables, etc for the house she has on Friday. I'm fortunate that my Friday staging job is getting pulled directly from another home!
Anyway.... here it is... The last of our inventory.
The listing hits MLS on Friday, after the professional photographers come. This agent always puts things in the right order. You've got to love that!
Here are some stills in case you don't want to watch the show....

I love looking at the work you do Melissa, it's so inspiring. Oh, to be you must be fabulous :]
Thanks for all the really nice comments - of course your clients should NEVER know that you are piecing it all together. Your job (my job) is to make it all seamless and appear that we planned it that way from the ton of inventory we had in stock!
BTW - I got a call from the agent today who showed the property for the first time (and her first time seeing it) - they may already have a contract coming!!! woo hoo!
Some really nice work here Melissa, especially considering you were at the end of your inventory. Nice style and feel too, it is quite different from what we see here but it is great getting inspiration from other stager's work.
Aloha Melissa,
Thanks for your post. From what I've seen of your work, you produce a very consistent product; approachable & stylish.
Peace,
Melissa,
If that's the bottom of your barrel a lot of Stager's would trade you for what's on the top of their heap!
LOL,
Really lovely.
Do you have some tips on how to hang two pictures at the same height? I know there's a trick to it, I just can't remember it!
