23 Apr

(For Inquiries, please contact Ali Kutner, Home Staging Coordinator, 267.207.9298, akutner@sunflowercreationsonline.com or visit us at Sunflower Creations Home)

We’re sure you readers are just jonesin’ for a new post… We’ve been so busy staging houses that we haven’t had a moment to blog- and we are so, so sorry!!

Here are a handful of the projects that we’ve been working on in March and April 2015. South Philly, West Philly, Roxborough/Manayunk, Old City and the ‘Burbs- Plus *3 projects that went under contract in just 3 days! Yay!

Point Breeze Row Home

We brought contemporary warmth to this perfectly crafted South Philly gut rehab, with furnishings, art, accessories, and window treatments.

Charming Bungalow Style Single Home in Flourtown, Montgomery County

We based this design around a few key pieces that belong to the home-owners. We definitely wanted to make the space feel cozy, like a family home should. We also wanted to show furniture layout in some challenging spaces, as well as maximum functionality in every area of the home.

———————

West Philly Redesign Consultation and Staging Project

We came in as the home-owners began upgrading their home for sale. We helped with kitchen design, finish, fixture and paint color selections, and space planning for showing the home. For staging, we worked with a mixture of the home-owner’s furnishings, and our own- keeping in mind that the sellers would be living in the property until it sells. We also provided suggestions for how to live in a staged home, and be ready for a showing at a moment’s notice.

Turn Key Interior Design Philadelphia

20 Nov

I am so excited to finally share this with all of you! We just completed the install of this beautiful rehabbed condo. Within 6 weeks time we were able to turn this empty post-construction site into a home away from home for our wonderful client. I have lots of photos to share so this will be a 3-part series. Let me walk you through the main living area and share some of my favorite design elements.

One of my absolute favorite pieces in the entire 3 bedroom condo is this re-claimed bookshelf.

Our client wanted a cozy feel for their basement living area. So we created a chill place for friends and family to hang or curl up and watch a movie. Warm tones and low lighting add to the comfortable element.

Using a mixture of finishes gives the space a funky vibe. We combined the soft upholstery with a metal coffee table, reclaimed bookshelf and tv stand.

I just love how the reclaimed wood of the tv stand works with the natural stone wall. The living area is also the entry point to the condo so we needed to create a place for shoes and coats. This bench adds some seating with storage underneath. We also added a mirror for final checks as they walk out the door.

This fun metal sign points guests in the direction of the bathroom.

Next up I’ll share photos of the first floor bedrooms! Stay tuned….

Thanks for keeping up!

XOXO

So Much New Construction in Fishtown!! Home Staging by Sunflower Creations

18 Nov

Often, in new construction homes and rehabbed properties, spaces are designed to be very, very neutral. The idea is to make the property beautiful, luxurious and upscale, but appeal to the masses in order to attract the greatest number of interested buyers.

As Stagers, we bring the mood, the warmth, and the energy. We play detective a little bit, and try to figure out WHO our buyer will be in the end. Then, we try to appeal to him/her based on our design knowledge and expertise.

This project was a little bit different– The builder of this Fishtown treasure made some really unique design choices that gave the home a spirit of its own. Check out the diagonal direction of the hard wood floors, that makes the space feel very open.

The kitchen’s apron front sink, exaggerated drawer pulls, and white subway tile back-splash bring an element of ultra-modern sleek to this gourmet kitchen.

And take a gander at these bathroom finishes…

We followed suit, and chose pieces that would accent and enhance these fun features.

So, needless to say, the BRIGHT GREEN accent wall in the main living space was a big no-brainer!

Purple is an awesome contrast, and the silver accents are a little edgy…

A little mixture of industrial with more traditional pieces is fun, and appealing to a wide range of lookers.

And finally, the relaxing, serene master bedroom.

This is the view out the window:

Thanks so much for looking!

…Whether ultra-modern new construction, a charming rehab, or a traditional redesign–We understand the subtle differences.

Our “look” helps homes sell quickly and our process keeps clients coming back time and again.

Point Breeze Rehab- Home Staging by Sunflower Creations

15 Nov

Although we are coming to the end of the busy, busy, BUSY Fall Market, we are still staging away like crazy!!

Since our entire business is built on our reputation,

and our reputation is built on the presentations we put out,

we are always trying to keep our stagings fresh and new.

As we head into the quieter months, a major focus for us is examining our inventory in order to retire the older pieces, and make room the new ones…

Keep checking our blogs to see all the great new pieces that we’re bringing in!

Here’s a property that we just did in the Point Breeze neighborhood of South Philly. You can read the full listing description by clicking on this link.

We’ve been gravitating towards yellows lately!

They are perky for summer, sophisticated for fall, and cozy for winter– It all depends on your color pairing…

We’ve had our eyes on this antique-washed cabinet with mirrored doors for a while now!

This awesome washboard-look dresser was the inspiration for this bedroom–

Black, white, and shades of brown with lots of pattern and texture.

Thanks so much for looking!

Suburban Rehab in Broomall, PA- Home Staging by Sunflower Creations

14 Nov

As soon as we set foot inside, we could not wait to get our paws all over this place!

This is a REALLY cool rehab, with original flagstone entry floor, beautifully salvaged hardwoods, shutter windows, and modern updates!

We’ve got built-ins, secret doors, fireplaces… What fun!!

Here’s a few pics of the great room/dining room, and bedrooms.

The sectional sofa serves a few functions in this room. First, it defines the space that is the living area, as opposed to the dining area. Second, it allows for lots of seating without monopolizing the wall space, which is filled with all those terrific built-ins. And finally, it creates the perfect frame for that beautiful fireplace.

Here are some shots of the master, and 2 additional bedrooms: Thanks so much for looking!

Rehabbed Home in South Philly’s Up-and-Coming Pennsport- Staging by Sunflower Creations

8 Nov

We did this staging over the summer (we’ve been super busy, and are JUST starting to catch up on our blogs, etc). The house is a beautiful renovated row home on Moore St. in Pennsport. Looking back at the photos, I really love the bold color punches! It looks very neat and clean.

We started out with a black, white, and turquise “less-is-more” design on the first floor, and it seems to have carried on up the stairs, as well.

Our client chose to have us stage the two smaller bedrooms, because rooms really do feel larger with the right furniture in them.

So, we did a twin set up for a child’s room, and a full set up, which would be ideal for a teenager:

And, here is the master:

This beautiful condo is located in “the coveted and elite” Rittenhouse Square. It features brilliantly shiny parquet floors, tall ceilings, enormous windows that provide views of three sides of the city, and TONS of built-ins.

Another cool find, this great big aged jax:

Northern Liberties Condo Pics- Home Staging by Sunflower Creations

17 Oct

This two bedroom condo has great light, a super-cool loft space, and fabulous roof deck. We wanted to make it fun and youthful, but still sophisticated in style. Such is the Northern Liberties market!

In terms of accessories, we were going for minimum clutter, maximum impact.

Here’s a favorite:

Loved the color in this bedroom. It was the inspiration for the scheme we used throughout the unit.

And, mixing frill with some industrial elements gave the space an edge feel. Perfect for this condo!

Thanks so much for looking!

Pennsport Rehab Under Contract in 20 Days! Home Staging by Sunflower Creations

9 Oct

Interesting fact from RESA (Real Estate Staging Association):

In controlled tests selling identical homes, professionally staged vs. those not staged, the non-staged houses sold in 102 days, while the staged houses sold in 45 days.

This rehabber has a great talent for designing for the unknown buyer. Her rehabs are always sophisticated, yet fun, and they always sell quickly.

She adds great modern details (like this terrific lime green accent wall), while keeping with the integrity of the original home. And, she has a good sense of where staging is needed to fill in the gaps.

We staged the upstairs bedrooms, to add some interest for MLS photos and showings, and to provide space planning assistance in small rooms.
