St. Simon's Island
Lighthouse
I am so excited
about 2017!!! We had our biggest year ever and reports from our staging
network of grads is very encouraging. Many are expanding, hiring more stagers
and designers to be able to keep up. One of our young success stories you may
remember is Kristy Anderson from Tampa. She is speaking at the RESA
convention and is the proud winner again of the Top Five Stagers in the US.
Many are finding
Redesign to be their money-making niche. Becky Robbins Designs from St. Louis
is hiring designers and moving into new offices this year. So proud of all of
you out there. One thing these two super stars have in common is frequent
posting on Social Media.
As for color trends,
I have been browsing the new forecasts available online and through my ASID
resources. Here in the south, we are slow to embrace new trends. I hear
things like, "I just can't let go of gray and light blue."
Some of the newest
colors won't make it to our conservative city, I'm sure. The color of Mac and
cheese.... Please. Not in my house. And deep violet purple, I don't
think so.
I do like the
movement toward deeper, stronger hues. I have my favorites and they can all
be seen on the HGTV Dream House for 2017. Find it On Demand or online. This
year it is located at nearby St. Simons Island, Georgia.
You will see shades
like the color of the year, Poised Taupe SW 6039 and accents of shades like
Manea Baja SW 9685, a darker, muted teal. Yum! These colors and lots of
exposed wood and texture with white sofas can be seen in the family room.
The kitchen
backsplash is a deep Coke-bottle green subway tile. I like it! Neutrals and
browns scattered around seem to make it work. The forest greens and textured
whites together are making me happy. Dreamy!
The indigos leaning
into soft navy make the pool/game room come alive. There is a bit of deeper
muted periwinkle in the house also.
Yes, there's
wallpaper (silent scream). Just when you think you've removed that last
little bit of wallpaper from the planet... It's baaack! Actually, it's been
back for awhile in designer circles. So different, though.
Go see the HGTV
House in St. Simon's Island if you are in our area. I can't wait to see it in
person. Add intensify your colors at home. It's about time!

summer.

space in our January local class starting the 17th. Email me to hold you a

Becky,
I just
completed the home staging courses last night. Thank you for offering
the class online. My heart's desire was to come to the classes in
person and I thought surely they were not going to be nearly as good
online. I am happy to report the online courses were really great! I
especially liked the videos. It was just better when I could see you when you
were speaking. I am certain I will be referring back to my manual again
and again.
Thank you for
your entrepreneurial spirit and heart for wanting to share your talents to
help other people grow!
Here is
to happy home staging for years to come!
Sincerely,
Tawnya

Good-morning,
I just completed the Staging and
Redesign online course. I want to tell you that I was a little concerned with
getting the online course being I am a visual and hands on person however,
you were very detailed and answered every question I had about staging! I
enjoyed watching the videos as well
Thank you Becky
