Bow Front Dresser
Accessories for tomorrow night date?
I'm going out with someone tomorrow to see a movie and do dinner or something, and probably only stay in the general. My date is a stylish comfortable lol. I'm wearing this dress: http://www.forever21.com/product.asp?catalog_name=FOREVER21&category_name=dress&product_id=2078967776&Page=6&pgcount=25&sort=lp black sandals with woven ... a large bag, bright white with a bow in front. Some of the accessories that I considered including a heart necklace so much, my "signature" short musical note necklace .. Not. This is what I really need help, haha. If you mind, I have 17 years.
I agree with Sara about the guys who did not like many accessories. What looks adorable as it is, but perhaps you could make a long necklace of color, who might have the silver with some blue or purple, and then perhaps simple earrings.
Don't Insult Homebuyers' Intelligence With Silly Staging Tricks
Afraid you don't have enough flair for decorating to stage homes? This could be because of those decorating shows and magazines which feature photos of rooms adorned with strategically placed fruit and seashells. Don't let something like this stop you from pursuing a career in home staging. While photos of rooms decorated like that might sell magazines, those tactics will not help sell a property. In fact, I like to call these decorative touches "silly staging tricks" and here's why.
The purpose of home staging is to show a home in a way that people will imagine themselves living there. The ultimate goal is for a potential buyer to walk through the home and have the impression that they're home already. That's the end result of a home staging job done well. Buyers are smart enough to know that those obvious touches were done by a home stager to increase the value of the property. Not sure what kind of "touches" I mean?
Here are some of my favorites from my personal experience or as relayed to me by some of the graduates of the Staging Diva Home Staging Training Program.
Simply creepy! Imagine walking into a home you're excited about viewing to be welcomed by "virtual tour" music which has been wired throughout. Nobody would ever live like that and it would probably make the buyer laugh or make the home feel creepy more than anything else. Another creepy and silly staging trick is replacing the real family members' photos with pictures of more attractive people. How do you explain that to your clients?
Can you believe some stagers even frame photos of celebrities to place throughout a home? Is that to make buyers think the homeowner is friends with Oprah and George Clooney?
Another good one is when a home stager uses those frames which hold multiple photos, without removing the manufacturer's filler pictures. I advise removing all family photos from the home (attractive or not!) to prevent the homebuyer from feeling like they're invading the owners' privacy.
There goes my appetite! The kitchen and dining area seem to be popular sites for silly staging tactics. Nothing screams "staged home" like a formally set dining room table, especially when the charger plates are filled with dried lentils.
What would you think if you found baking accessories strategically scattered around the kitchen island beside a tray of dusty, painted plaster cookies?
Think uncluttered. There is no need for these details and they only distract buyers from viewing the individual rooms as their own home. A fruit bowl on the counter or a vase of flowers on the dining room table is how most people live. Less really is more.
The obviously staged bedroom. How many times must we be forced to see a throw "casually" draped diagonally over the foot of a bed with a tray sitting on top holding a couple of wine glasses or a teapot with cups? This might be okay for a hotel honeymoon suite, but normal people don't live that way. Speaking of diagonals, I can't understand why people place a bed diagonally in a space - I have never seen a case where it worked. It usually just makes the room look weird and crowded.
Worse than a bed on a diagonal, though, is an imaginary bed. Some home stagers will put a rug in a room with throw pillows and some books to represent a bed.
When it comes to the ever important master bedroom, if the buyer can't walk in and see how their bed will fit or how they can live in there with all their other furniture, they're going to decide that the room doesn't work for them. Make sure there's an actual bed with usable night tables on each side and some nice bedding.
There should be one long dresser (usually with a mirror on top) and one "high boy" dresser or tall chest of drawers. To fit all that in, you may need to use a double bed rather than a queen or king. And be careful with sleigh beds or tall canopies, they shrink a bedroom faster than any other piece of furniture and should only be used in an unusually large bedroom.
The frou-frou bathroom. Although it's the smallest room in the house, the bathroom is such an important space. That's why I really don't understand the great lengths some home stagers go to with their silly staging tricks in there.
Does anyone live with tassels draped over their hand towels in real life? When you put away your bath towels, do you stack them on the bathroom counter, wrapped with a bow and topped with a star fish? Does anyone set champagne flutes out on the edge of the bathtub. I confess I made that mistake myself when I staged my first client's home. It sold anyway, but in retrospect I think that detail looked silly.
One of the craziest staging tricks I've heard of in the bathroom is filling the bathtub with blue-tinted water - especially in the winter for a house in a cold climate! But one of the tackiest things I have seen in a bathroom was a large ribbon tied around the toilet seat lid.
When you're finished staging a home, you should have created a warm, welcoming environment that a home buyer can't tell was staged. This means you need a good sense of color and where to put furniture. The property should be de-cluttered, and de-personalized, but not to the point of looking cold, and there should be a logical use for each room.
A homeowner is not going to fall in love with a home that has lentils on charger plates or a bow on the toilet seat. These things are silly, contrived and a waste of your time.
Enough with the silly staging tricks!

 Antique Bow Front Dresser See Reviews For This Product DescriptionThis beautiful mahogany antique bow front dresser was hand-crafted in Victorian England around 1890 and recently hand-restored in England by a team of master craftsmen. The mahogany displays a fine, rich grain and lustrous complexion, which the rosewood banding around the bow front top accents quite wonderfully. Solid brass hardware also forms a nice contrast with the mahogany and rosewood, while the canted corners, which are also rosewood, help to give the bow front antique dresser its elegant shape. Because this antique dresser is over a century old, it has had time to develop a lovely patina, which enriches the distinct mahogany and rosewood grains and complexions, which should only continue to grow more beautiful with time. A classic two-over-three drawer design offers plenty of storage space in this dresser, with each drawer featuring hand-cut dovetailed joints. Sturdy splayed feet provide strong support. Because of the skillful restoration, this antique dresser is also in near-flawless condition. The perfect combination of antique charm and modern functionality, this mahogany antique bow front dresser would make a fantastic addition to any home furniture collection!Dimensions: 41" wide x 20" deep x 45" high |

 English Mahogany Bow Front Chest Sale Price: $2,520.00 See Reviews For This Product DescriptionThis antique style chest of drawers is English-made by hand as a Victorian period reproduction. Using the finest materials available, including a stunning selection of flame mahogany, optional banding and solid brass hardware, this incredibly strong bow front chest glows with a rich, classic appearance that results from a combination between traditional antique Georgian style design and high-quality materials. Indeed, the mahogany simply looks stunning, due in part to its striking contrast with the optional crossbanding and solid brass hardware, including swan neck style pulls and winged escutcheons.With a classic two-over-three drawer design, this bow front chest offers plenty of storage space, while the top two drawers lock. Each drawer features hand-cut dovetailed drawer joints, indicating fine craftsmanship, and this high standard of quality is maintained from top to bottom, where lovely splayed feet provide strong support. The feet are quite thick and because of their somewhat arched design, they are much stronger than straight feet, a discovery Queen Anne craftsmen made when perfecting the similarly curvaceous cabriole leg in the early 18th century.Whether you are looking for a decorative chest for your home or for a functional dresser with plenty of secure storage space, this bow front chest would make the perfect addition to any home, representing a carefully crafted combination of superb design and impressive functionality that has been characteristic of fine English furniture for hundreds of years.Dimensions: 39" wide x 22" deep x 34" high |
