Kym Tarr of Kym Tarr Home Staging in Kelowna, BC was teaching the 5 day PRES home staging and redesign course in Kelowna last week. Kym and her students left the home owner ecstatic with the changes! In just one day the PRES home stagers and redesigners follow a formula to give the home a whole new look using your things to create beautiful spaces for living or selling.
Testimonial: I had no idea what to expect and the outcome was a great surprise. Our living room looks extremely inviting now and I am eager to have more “quiet time” there. It is amazing what the placement of furniture does to a room, with of course the added touch of a change in decor and artwork. The Family room is great too and I will take Kym’s advice on purchasing a tree for the corner to provide height and to fill the space. The computer room looks like a completely different room! I feel much more relaxed in this space now and it feels so much more spacious. This room was definitely a source of irritation prior to the staging.
As I have also been trained as a CSP, sometimes it is difficult to see the opportunities in one’s own home and with a busy lifestyle it is also challenging to “follow through” on home lifestyle changes. I think that you offer your students a great training edge with the “staging for life” and “staging for sale”. This provides your students with a competitive edge in the market when it comes time to offering their skill set to customers. Thank-you once again for choosing my home and thank-you for all your hard work.

The local RESA meeting earlier this week was hosted by Dawn Rockhill of The Staging Goddess. About 15 interested home stagers from all different associations got together to work towards the common goal of creating the local Metro Vancouver chapter.
Heather Kleim of Epic Empire Designs invited Louise Edwards known as the ‘Godmother of the Downtown Eastside’ to see what we could do as a group to transform the living space for about 30 women of Sereena House. The home is badly in need of furniture, stove and other things.
The response was fantastic and the next steps will be to get a list from Louise and her contact Sarah, as to what they need so we can provide that to them. If you want to follow us in our journey check out Meet Up – Metro Vancouver RESA.
This is a very exciting time for PRES! Our blog will be updated on a weekly basis with informative TIPS, INSIGHTS, STATISTICS, ‘THE LIFE OF A HOME STAGER’, REDESIGN ARTICLES OF INTEREST, and so MUCH MORE!
October was a very busy month for the PRES Staging Resource Centre. PRES Founder & Creative Director, Dana J. Smithers and Kym M. Tarr of Shoestring Home Staging & Interior Redesigns had a fabulous time at the Abbotsford Tradex WestCoast Women’s Show. The show itself was a huge success and like many of the other attendees we bought ourselves some very nice presents!
Thank you so much to all of you who came to our booth. PRES had two great contests – one for potential students and one for home owners who need a little help with getting their home ready for selling and/or making it more harmonious for living.
