A Little Update
Haven’t updated this blog in two weeks, if it wasn’t for the automatic Twitter digest, this page would have been static for the past half month! What a shame, as we have done a lot of exciting projects in March!!
2009 has been fast paced, and March has been especially exciting! We worked on brand new construction on a historical lot in Los Altos, new homes in Pacifica with great views of the ocean, fantastic condos in Palo Alto, and huge mansion in the hills of Saratoga… all these and many other memorable projects all throughout the Bay Area!
I spent few hours to pull out and organized some photos for these projects, and used them to updated our main site’s front page, the Before & After section, as well as the Portfolio section of this blog. I just love looking at the before & after photos, the transformation is always amusing to me! I need to put up more of them on our site…
Okay, that’s it for now, just wanted to write a quick update. It is going to be another busy week ahead, we just got the words over the weekend that few more properties (we staged) are sold! Love hearing these great news!!
Happy Monday everyone!

Stager’s Tip: Cleaning
I have been publishing various tips on Twitter from time to time, but the 140 character limitation on twitter is just not good enough…
Cleaning Tip: Brillianize
I was first introduced to Brillianize by the guys from Tap Plastics in downtown Mountain View; I was there to order a custom acrylic desk cover for my Pottery Barn Bedford desk in my office, and the sale agent strongly recommended Brillianize to help keep the not-so-cheap acrylic desk cover clean. I was definitely skeptical at first, but soon realized just how wonderful this stuff was!
Not only it does miracles on acrylics and plastics, you can use it on window, glass, chrom, stainless steel, granite, even LCD and TV monitors! Take the Brillianize to your car to help keeping your windshield, wood trims, head/tail light lenses spotless! Spray this stuff on once to clean the surface, and spray it on again to achieve the highly polished look and slippery smooth. The best part is, the treated surfaces are fingerprint resistant!!
This stuff is magic in a bottle!

Staging Diary: Clean Lined Eichler
We staged an Eichler in Palo Alto yesterday, it was a partial staging where we worked with some of the owner’s existing furnishings and add our own to make it ready for open house. Personally, I love Eichler homes, love its clean lines, the floor to ceiling windows, the abundant lighting and love its openness. The last thing we wanted to do is to crowd the house with furniture and accessories, the idea was to put just enough to highlight the architectural greatness, keep it simple, and keep it refreshing.
It was exciting to work on this project, and we get to use a new set of gorgeous contemporary dining chairs for the very first time!
Anyways, we really enjoyed this project and got very positive feedbacks from the Realtor and the owner!
The house looks GREAT! You/staging company did a wonderful job keeping it modern, and bringing in just the right items to enhance the house.
Thank you so much,
Sheryl
