This week has been extremely hectic, and this weekend shows no signs of letting up.
Several readers have asked me if I've gotten the "after" pictures from my last project. Remember, the living room with the green sofas? Well, tomorrow morning I have a shoot to photograph those spaces along with another master bedroom project. Sorry for the delay, but coordinating schedules with my photographer and the homeowners was no easy feat. Of course, I have after pictures of both projects, but trust me, you'd rather see the real thing. You'd think that once the project is finished, the work would be done, but getting ready to make a room picture perfect ain't easy.
Here's what happens. First, I look for some inspiration. I scour the web, magazines and catalogs for ideas on props and staging essentials. For example, the kitchen in the home tomorrow is an eat-in kitchen so I needed an idea for the table and I wasn't sold on actually setting it. Thanks to Pottery Barn, I think I'm going with a much more casual feel.

From plates to tablecloths, throw pillows and serving trays, my car will literally look like I'm moving tomorrow.
Next, a trip to grocery store for edible props and flowers (FYI, A Tips for Arranging Grocery Store Bouquets post is coming soon) and a little filler from the front porch....
Apparently, nothing says home like a bowl of fruit and some fresh flowers....

Well, I'd better go finish preparing. Here's hoping it's picture perfect. I can't wait to show you the finished dwellings.
