Colorful accessories for the kitchen.....


Adding some vibrant color through use of accessories is an easy way to transform any kitchen and there is no need to repaint the entire space if it is looking drab. Your kitchen is a creative place, so don't be afraid to use strong colors for accent.

I used a variety of jewel toned accessories to enhance these shelves and mixed in some glass and stemware to add a little sparkle.

Dining room staging on a small budget for home in Old New Castle, Delaware


  • Removed clutter from the room
  • Repainted the room a soft, neutral color
  • Staged a dining table by adding miscellaneous chairs that were sprayed the same color, and creating a tasteful centerpiece
  • Added new hardware and panels with tiebacks to the windows to create more light in the area
  • The final touches of artwork and soft lighting complete the room

One of my favorite master bedroom transformations - home staging


  • Remove unnecessary clutter from the room
  • Repaint the room as well as the back of the book shelves a warm neutral color
  • Replace heavy artwork with a mirror to reflect light into the area
  • Substitute the oversized leather chair blocking the focal point (fireplace) with a smaller, upholstered chair
  • Add new white linens to the bed
  • The final touches of a subtle pop of color from new vases on the mantel, fresh pillows, soft new lighting and an orchid for the side table are added
