Don’t worry. The online Home Staging or e-staging Consultation can help you! Your home may be nice but how you decorate to live and how you need to decorate to sell are very different.

"Just want to share with you the good news that we sold our house the same day of the open hose. All your good advice really paid off, we got close to our asking price. We lucked out too in that we had our open house along with others in our neighborhood in the same price range and ours really stood out because of the staging" – Thanks again, John and Sue D., Kenmore, N.Y

Color Palette and Paint Consultation

"What color should I paint…?” is one of the most frequently asked questions.

Choosing what color to paint walls may seem easy but it is this decision that is causing a lot of people difficulty because of the thousands of paint colors to choose from. The proper color can turn the meekest room in to an absolutely gorgeous room.

The Home Stylist will mail the specific paint chips and an explanation of those choices directly to your home (so that you can even tape the swatch to your wall if you want).

Detailed Color Palette Consultation: $79 per room

A quick view color palette consultation is also available. This consultation is done completely over the internet. You simply follow the regular color palette consultation but once you complete the questionnaire, just scan it and send it along with photos in jpeg by e-mail. I will then send you back two photos of your room painted in recommended colors. This technique is similar to the color poll section of this website. This consultation is usually completed in 2 business days. Paypal only.

Accessorizing & Finishing Touches

This consultation is made specifically for people who just finished redecorating a room on their own and were disappointed in the result.

The problem with a large percentage of DIY projects not meeting expectations is the homeowner stopped after the new furniture and wall paint. The finishing touches and accessories are what pulls the whole look together and makes the room cohesive and complete.

The Home Stylist will provide you with specific suggestions and images of artwork, pillows, lamps, and accessories for your room. You can use these images to purchase similar items in your price range or in some cases I can include the vendor name and approximate retail price.
