Design Project

Whether you are planning on staying in your home and just need some advice or considering selling and need staging advice please feel free to contact me, Julie Small ccsp, for further information.

Initial consultation which includes a thorough walk through of your home, generating a pdf report including pictures plus all recommendations.

A separate visit – Source items for your project.

Final step – Staging and showcasing ready for the market.

Recent project – Large 4 bedroom property initially looked tired has now in a short time been updated into a stunning property. Glimpses into how this property has been transformed.

Although the outside doesn’t look too different, the inside has really changed

Entrance

From the initial 2 colour and wallpaper choice shown in picture 1. First impressions can give a smaller, uninviting feel. Recommending wall colour, Benjamin Moore (HC173) throughout gives a seamless look. Punctuation of colour can be given in art, soft furnishings and accessories.

Landing

Amazing transformation.

Family Room and Eat-in Kitchen – Before

These two spaces were joined by a half wall. By eliminating the half wall really opened up this space. The kitchen also felt small. By moving the wall back between Formal dining room and Kitchen has really opened up this space allowing for a larger kitchen to be enjoyed.

Family Room – After

Kitchen – After

These two spaces flow much better. The floor is all the same which allows the eye to enjoy every inch of this fabulous space.

Lounge and Formal Dining area – Before

This is the first space you see upon entering the property. No ambient lighting in the lounge area and feels very dark.

Lounge and Formal Dining area – After

Some space was taken for the kitchen, by adding interest with the whaffle ceiling adds great interest combined with the lighting. This space has a modern, lighter and brighter feel.

2nd Bedroom – Before and After

From drab to fab.

Master Bedroom – Before and After

By changing the floor, lighting and paint colour, what a difference it makes.

Master Ensuite – Before and After

This was quite the transformation. Clean lines needed for this space. The new tiles do have some pattern and interest to them which works and balances the rest of the space.

Why Staging Works

Great property which SOLD within 24hrs, multiple bids, well over asking price. So happy to be apart of this project.

This is what makes my job so rewarding. Meeting great homeowners who work so hard, listening to the initial consultation that I give them.

Helping and explaining every step of the way. Then coming back to showcase making the property photo ready.

An incredible collaboration between homeowner, real estate agent and stager/designer.

Testimonial

“We were very pleased with Julie’s contribution to our kitchen renovation. We needed her to consult with us on some design choices and had to make some very quick decisions. Julie made herself available to meet our tight schedule and we really appreciated that.

Throughout the process Julie was very professional and was always pleasant, positive and friendly. Julie is committed to the task at hand and brings a high level of energy to the job. She also has a good eye for what will work and what won’t. Her design ideas hit the mark and we were pleased with her suggestions which we incorporated.

Thanks for your assistance Julie, we look forward to seeing you on our next project!”

Winter Blues

As the snow starts to fall we find ourselves being stuck indoors more often. Many people feel stuck in a rut and it can sometimes be difficult to dig yourself out.

Winter projects are generally those internal home improvements put off from the rest of the year when the weather is too nice to be stuck indoors. These are normally planned and often the result of a “honey do” list.

There are a number of things that you can do in the absence of winter sports or a winter project without significant expenditure or time investment that can cheer the mood and give you the pick me up to drive you to the spring.

These things could include;

Rearrange furniture – Changing placement of furniture can give a positive feel. This can be enhanced by adding a mirror to get that extra reflective light source into a space.

Additional Lamps – can help generate extra light to give the perception of longer days.

Give a fresh coat of paint to add deeper warmer tones either on an accent wall or a room, maybe to doors/borders to cheer the mood.

Switch some of your existing cushions or throws to fresher warm colours such as teal, red, green, yellow, pink, purple mixing different fabrics too. Creating a cosier inviting space.

In your bedroom, add some warmer quilts, colourful pillows or throws/blankets to evoke the senses.
