Getting a home ready for selling is a very big job. Once a home seller realizes this and hires a home stager to do the work we do best,a huge amount of stress drops away. Sellers can then focus on what they need to do to get ready for the move.
This home is typical of a young, active family home. It was cluttered with everyday living items, toys, games, bowls, chairs, etc. The home owners did a terrific job in doing their pre-pack and cleared out everything except what they needed for daily living.
With a little bit of inventory and some of their own bedding used in different ways, we created a peaceful and inviting guest bedroom. The faux headboard was created by wrapping 2 pillows inside a throw! The children’s room still needed to be functional for them, but with just some moving of furniture around the space became much bigger and more serviceable.
PRES members Sharon Charboneau of Up Staging Your Homes, Irene Huva of Interio Deco and Cheryl Grattan of With Flair Home Staging & Redesign did a fantastic job helping stage this home. We had a lot of fun but then again to us, this is what staging is all about.
The home seller and her realtor were thrilled with the results. Open House this weekend and this house is ready to be sold!
What a fantastic opportunity to stage a brand new vacant home that is also part of the new ‘green home’ movement across Canada. An architectural masterpiece! Contemporary design and the highest quality, concrete, glass, wood and steel construction. Distinctive in all respects, this clean, contemporary, environmentally-sensitive, new, spacious home is located in the heart of Vancouver’s prestigious west side.
Thanks to the PRES members Yvonne Swain of Hint Of Elegance, Lois North of Lois Interiors and one of our newest members Yoshi Haraguchi we turned this vacant house into a home people can see themselves living in! Rental furnishings came from Fluff Rentals of Vancouver.

Louise Henry-Backstrom and her husband/partner Joseph of Pair Home Design have done some fabulous kitchen and fireplace renovations for their client. Pair Home Design offers a variety of services other than just home staging. Be sure to check them out.
Here is a testimonial from their happy client:
Louise and Joseph have transformed my kitchen. It was small, outdated
and virtually non-functional. With Louise and Joseph’s help, it’s now
open, light, and a delight to cook in.
Joseph and Louise guided me through every stage of the process, taking
my ideas, improving them, and designing a wonderful new space. They
sourced materials for me, worked with all the trades, and nudged me in
the right direction when I had trouble making a decision. They worked
tirelessly to find the materials and fixtures I liked and made sure I
was comfortable with all the choices that were made.
The renovation was done with a fixed budget and Louise and Joseph
worked with me throughout the process to ensure I got excellent value
for my investment. I couldn’t be happier with my new space – thank
you Joseph and Louise!
