Revamp Your Pillows for ZERO Dollars ?!

We all have them. Piles of pillows that are either old, stained, faded or we bought "because they were such a great price" yet never to be used. You know what I'm talking about. Don't deny it.

But here is an "A-HA!" moment I wanted to share.

For ZERO $$$, I practiced what I preach and used my good ol' fashion elbow greese (and a sewing machine) to revamp all of my pillows rather than toss them, buy new slip covers or even to donate them only to then have to go BUY even more pillows.


Recently while at my local Upholstery Vendor, I asked if he had any scraps. You know; the left over yardage of fabrics that are from the end of the bolt when doing large projects - his eyes lit up and he directed me to a HUGE shelving unit filled with scraps.

"You can have them!" he exclaimed - then it was ME who lit up and my brain started working wonders.

A few days later and after a few hours of sewing: I have an entirely new inventory of pillows.



A few tips to get the biggest bang for your buck:

1) Make the pillows reversible with different, but complimentary, fabrics on each side.

2) Plan out what sizes you have in your current pillow inventory and see which fabrics you can get the most out of.


There was even enough of some fabrics to make an entire Twin bed set! =D

Happy Sewing...I mean Staging!

Are You Helping Sell the House Down the Street?

Your listing started off well. You held opened houses, there were even a few people who came by and saw the house - but no offers yet... You advertised, held a few more open houses, maybe even dropped the asking price; but there is little interest. Right now you are probably asking yourself, "Why aren't people coming to view the house?" OR you're trying to convince yourself that it's, "Just the market...."

Here are a few things to consider:
1) If your home had lots of activity to begin with, you're price may have been right - but if there are no offers, then they didn't like what they saw and moved onto the next house.

2) Even at the right price, how is the home viewed via the internet? The NAR released that OVER 87% of Home Buyers today, "shop" the internet and narrow down their list of "must see" homes simply by how the home is presented on the Internet.

3) The more pictures the better, the most appealing pictures always win out for the "must see" list.

For example: Which would you prefer? These two homes are in the same high end area, comparable number of bedrooms, bathrooms and square footage. The first home is actualy priced LOWER than the second home by almost $50,000! Yet the second home was professionally Staged by Platinum Home Staging, Inc. and SOLD just 3 weeks from the date of listing for full price!

SOLD in 3 weeks!

If you were a buyer, which would YOU prefer? Which home, when all things being comparable, would YOU want to "go see" in person?

By NOT Staging your home or listing, you may very well be helping sell the listing down the street. Call us today for your FREE Home Staging Estimate! (805) 553~9952
