Home Staging Styling and Design

As you know I work for the Fab Meridith Baer and Associates.   I look at a houses one day and have to  pull furniture: furnish, decorate and style it the next.  Have to give props to the many people that make me look good.  I have a whole crew of hard working men and an office that schedules/ organizes everything for me so i just get to have fun. Here is one of the latest.

The story for this one is a Venice beach, hip, eclectic, beach loving fam.  Has to be done in 1 day pictures are tomorrow.  Let's get Jamin


So here is how I View them - EMPTY

My Small Space I Call Home

HAPPY NEW YEAR PEEPS!! My holiday company is gone and the dogs are in.  My room mate and i both happen to say yes to watching friends/bosses pets.  Did i mention that our flat is a large 500 sq. ft, and yet i wouldn't want it any bigger.  Welcome to my home and the doggie madness.

this is Sarg

Just cut these this am love fresh flowers

This little table was a goodwill find for 10 bucks, score!

and this cuddle bear is Ella

as you can see they are pretty wild

 My rug is freakin fabulous - i mean i sure think so


LEAVE THINGS OUT
I seriously leave some of my favorite shoes and clothes out - why not they are sooo pretty!
I love to shop what what women doesn't u can get great idea's from store displays or even purchase their display holders - Anthropology and Urban Uutfitters have great jewelry displays.

Splurged on some holiday dresses and i so can't put them in the closet yet.

If i use it everyday it stays where i can use it.  I picked it out cause i liked it. So my moto is just to surround yourself in it, use it, appreciated and enjoy it's beauty.

 Coat/ hat rack another great thrift find 3$, sanded it painted it obviously my favorite color.

It's bad feng shui to have a mirror right when you walk in.  All the positive energy bounced right out, so i hung my adored Vogue right over the top. Ohhh yeah and that is cedar paneling. It's on 2 of my 4 walls which i totally love it's character.  Embrace your small homes character.

SPACE  SAVERS!


Grundtal Rail Series From IKEA it's a life saver.  The knife holder also Grundtal. You are literally looking at our entire kitchen counter space.  That huge cutting board is also from IKEA (course right) and amazing to chop things and push them right in the sink.  It's a great additional work surface. Ok so it's not the cheapest rail system they have, but it is the strongest so go for this one!

I lucked into finding this folding table, it was free!  After a little TLC it becomes the perfect little eatin kitchen table.  If i want if bigger i can just fold up the other side. Small space must! 

So keep our eyes out for one of these at a goodwill and i know they have tables like this at IKEA too.  It seriously is the best place to get small space furniture and great ideas!



Our linin closet and my frame storage. We have no linin closet at all so why not put a shelf in the hall way above the door.  Yes you have to have a folding stool (i keep under my sofa) but it works great!


USE WHAT U ALREADY LOVE
More pattern and color!!!  My closet honestly inspires me.  Good way to vibe color waves, finding patterns that you like and what works together.

NEW YEAR NEW VIBE
New inspiration board for the year, one thing up so far, I'll post when i get it completed.
Goal is her hair - so long and crazy, it's to remind me not to cut mine.  I always give in and cut it soooo no more.

Go out an conquer your small space u will be amazed what you cram in. OMG yes i just went there, so bad.


GREEN Friday!

 Happy Friday - no it's not st. Patricks day again. I was just inspired by the color green this am.

 It all started with my obsession for colored pants (new fad, but i fully suport it!).  Which i almost have every color except this color.







GO and Have a wonderful friday - if you see something amazingly green take a pic for me ;)

SLACKER

SO  yes  I admit I have been slacking with my blog (Thank you loyal readers for calling me out). But I've been working like crazy and I got to have a little Vaca in NYC! last weekend; It was amazing to say the least.

Here's a few Pics of what I've been up to- Another house another day




Its's boarding the less is more; One more even little thing might make it or break it. Not really but when your in  a perfectionist head you really think like that.  Plant? or no plant?  that book angled like that or no angle?  Is that stack of books to high?  do i need a try? big strips or little stripes? Yes this is my life..hahah

Random stools are a must! They are extremely useful as well as add  another visual layer to your space, like functional sculpture.  What do you put in a nook or corner, sculture - so why is furniture any different? it's not ;)

And below: if you can't find a great desk light, I like to use a floor lamp.  One you don't have to sacrifice any space on top of the desk and two they normally are way cooler looking anyways.


I am a perfectionist when it comes to work but my house (and my roomie's, thanks for putting up with me)  Anything goes.

Good Morning from my sofa - my mom gave me that coffee mug don't judge! 


Those are just rugs from Urban Outfitters, I just tucked in and laid over the ottoman. It protects our sofa and also gives it some much needed FUNk.

I have to say My neighbors Dog Sarg steals the spot light. 

Seafoam & Blue Vibes

So this blog thing is harder to keep up with then i thought.  Here are a few of my color obsessions I'm into as of right now.  Don't know if it was my new blue pants, lepard top or my seafoam nail polish that brought this on but I'm digin.


This would be a killer interior  pallet too.


Just swoped out the Chevron (although i love, sometimes there is just to much chevron)  pillows for some leopard ones; thanks Photoshop and Etsy. It adds some fun and funk :) 



I wish i could paint my front door,  Cause it would so be this!


Where do i even begin.. the carpet to die for.  Wall color LOVE, rain drop chandelier auhh,yes please!




Not sure which i like more the wall or her skirt - blue painted brick seriously so pretty!








What's New? MY J O B

Well a few knew things have been happening in my life.  I have been Juggling a lot of work!

I've transitioned from design Assistant to a Designer for Meridith Baer and Associates!!!  and Loving It!  I mean what designer wouldn't love the opportunity to just do their thing.  My other job was amazing too but I get to call the shots in this one ;)

I'm literally 6 houses behind in Inventory lists sooo I'll make this short, here are a few pics of my latest project for Meridith Baer and Associates.  If you have an extra 3 mill lying around  This beach penthouse is for you! (i wish)






Another house another day ;)

Thank You's!! to YOU!

Talk about slacken.  I'm a whole year older since last time i posted.  Turned the big 25 September 5th. Life hit me in the face, so-ta speak, I've been peddle to the metel this entire month.  I was wanting this to happen so bad and it finally did. Work is nuts! in a good way. It has been overwhelming at times, but I'ld say I'm finding my footing, and I'm so blessed!

I've been wanting to thank Family and friend for making My Birthday Amazing.  For all the sweet presents but most of all for the family cook out :) 

My Boy Brought me this huge thing of sunflowers. My absolute fav.
Your amazing  in so many ways. and so thankful for you!
           
           
I put them everywhere in my little apartment.

Andy from Switzerland (awesome neighbor) made me a beautiful, from scratch B-day cake.  kicking myself for not taking a pic,but it was mad tasty!

And a few other fun things:

This sweet bistro set. That i eat practically every meal at ( Thanks momma and mark)
(I'm still going to have to add some color to this puppy, you know me..)

Fun kitchen rugs

Ohh yes!   funny yet so true -  a much needed try for my ottoman.

I finally got me tea pot!  I first spotted it client shopping with Amber. Carried it around the entire store and put it back, cause i really didn't "need" it.  Seriously this little thing just makes me smile.

yummy!

Aja, my amazing gf must have known I'm on this elephant kick. Thanks dollie!

oooo  this adorable top - 
 LF  Favorite store ever!

Great candle holders for my little deck/dinning area -  still need to hang them.

I'm missing a few things..
Like Breakfast out with Trudy - oohh mimosas!
Julianne- just for always being my rock, having bottles of wine handy, and dance parties in our living room.. hahah (yes I still do this i will until I'm 80)

aaah and this from my one and only bro!  


I really appreciated all the wonderful words and b day wishes via FB.  I have so many incredible friends! 
Sorry far taking almost the entire month to say so.

THANK GUYS FOR MAKING MY DAY!
