Nice Words

I meant to post this a month ago, finally got around to do it today.

This nice note was mailed to us by the owners of a Los Altos home we staged back in March. We are always very appreciative of our clients who spend the time to send us testimonials. It puts smiles on the faces of our entire team!

A Little Update

Posted 2009.03.30 By onetwosixdesign and has no comments yet.

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!
