Scenes from Staging 2

We are back at it again!  Staging two new model homes for a local builder.  In the smaller home we are staging it from top to bottom.  In the larger home we are doing light staging; kitchen, master bedroom, and master bath. 

You know what that means!  Shopping!!

Here are some of the fun things I've found this week.

This is apparently a big trend now.  That thing is $400!  But don't worry, it's half price.

After seeing this two weeks in a row I have decided I'm still confused.  Is it a parody of a psychiatrist...or is it an insult to pear shaped women?  Either way, it's just wrong.

 It takes a lot of pillows for four total beds. 

People stare when you buy this many pillows.

 This?  This just cracks me up.

After going to two of the biggest furniture stores in town back to back I found out that artichokes are all the rage.  

I don't think I'd put a big, heavy, pointy, fake artichoke on my couch though.

Oh, and we bought this love seat.  And the matching couch.

We did not buy the artichoke.

Try not to be disappointed.

And then there's this. 

I need this.

I want this.

I can't live without this.

But I have to.  It doesn't go with my 65 year old house and my traditional furniture.

I'm sure they won't mind if I come in from time to time in my jammies with a cup of coffee and a People magazine and curl up for a while.

They're cute jammies!

Christmas Carnage

I'm all about a sale. I hate to pay full price for something.

It's against my religion.

While in Texas I headed to the Hobby Lobby sale with my Aunt Carrie.

Ribbon and tissue paper, ornaments and bags found their way into my cart.

But these.

Hmmm, who would buy these? Even if they are 66% off.



Can't we remove the carnage before the sale?
