Claire Patrick - Okay - I LOVE the detail shot of the Zocalo walls! It's cool to know who is responsible for that! I'd highly recommend going over to Zocalo around 2pm - the light is absolutely stunning in that room at that time of day. Love!

DotCustom Placemats…Handmade!

I have recently began learning how to sew in order to further the services I can offer to clients.  Check out these custom placemats I made for a client!  They can be dressed up or dressed down.  If you notice, they have a pocket on the right for the silverware!  It doesn’t get any more custom and unique than this!  If you ever need a special gift or want to jazz up your table for a party give me a call!

Margi - WOW! As always Courtney, you've combined a very rich, beautiful fabric with a wonderful design. Looks great!
Sandi - Couldn't agree with Claire more, you really need to start an Etsy site for all the stuff you make!
M. Sutton - I love the silverware pocket!!
Claire Patrick - Holy cow, girl, these are cute. (: Looks like you're doing a great job of learning! I realllllly want to learn how to sew sometime soon! What kind of machine do you have? You should consider selling these on etsy!

DotAdding Life to a Vacant Home!

Today I finished staging 1119 Ottawa Drive in Austin Lake Hills!  I had an absolute ball staging this home.  It is a stunning and sits on an amazing  lot!  With a pool in the back yard and an open floor plan this home is ready to entertain!

It was vacant but after a truck load of furniture and tons of accessories, it is now inviting, warm, neutral and definitely says buy me!  For more information about this property please contact Bambi Kaminski at (512) 784-6261.  It goes on the market tomorrow!

DotThe Small Yet Important Details!

 A good mentor of mine says that today’s real estate market is a price war and a beauty contest.  Austin Simple Staging is here to help you win the beauty contest!  Staging your home is the equivalent to getting dressed up for a first date.  You put your best foot forward hoping to make a stellar first impression. 

In order to stage a home and stage it well, attention to detail is key.  Check out a few photos below.  Every little clue you can give buyers, the higher probablity the buyers begin to fall in love with a property.  Call Austin Simple Staging today in order to professionally stage your home.  It is a fun, hands-on process that will help ensure your home stands out from competition!

An airy floral arrangement can provide a sense of elegance and beauty to any table!  Purchase a glass vase, place a few rocks in the bottom and arrange 3-5 stems of your choice.   It is a breathtaking look that caps off a buyers tour!

The master bathroom needs to pop for buyers.  Make it feel as though they have walked into a spa!  Purchase a lufa, scrubbing brushes and a jar of salts.  Place them in a basket with a rolled towel and suddenly it says…indulge yourself!

Purchase a few old books that you don’t care about ruining.  Tightly turn the pages inward until they hold themselves.  Do this six times on each side and stand the book up for a creative feature in an office or on a table!

Purchase three glass jars and fill them with everyday bathroom needs.  The white contrast this gives in a bathroom is stunning!  Not to mention it is practical! 

Anytime you have the opportunity to make a vignette, go for it!  This one consist of a bottle of wine, grapes and a block of cheese.  This gives cues to buyers about entertaining, eating good food, relaxing and having a great time!  These are the exact feelings and thoughts we want buyers to have as they walk through your home!  Call today to set up a staging consult for your home today!
