Living Spaces

  • Dsc_0023_640x428
    It is my belief that we each put our soul into a home. The design, the layout of the rooms, the colors, the pictures we hang, the lights that illuminate our paths or our bed-side tables each say something about us. It involves vision, artistry and a clear understanding of the people who will use the "Living Spaces." I can help you insure that your soul fills your home easily.

A Completed Project!

Another Completed Project!

  • 08E [640x480]
    This is a staging project I did for Deborah Stewart. Deborah is a real estate agent and investor with an eye for houses that can become homes and a passion to bring cut-up or abused houses back to a home with all the comforts. The house had served many years as a rooming house. A lot of work had to be done repair the damage from neglect and to convert the house back to a single-family dwelling. The replacement windows came out; period windows went back in. Original brass fixtures, hidden by layers of paint over the years, were being stripped and polished. The kitchen was completely new; the second floor had heating and cooling. Once the construction dust was cleared away, Deborah had restored an absolutely perfect 1918 Arts & Crafts Bungalow. That's when I worked by magic.

Staging - Home #1

  • 6. Master Bedroom
    Take an empty house, put it on the market and hope that potential buyers can imagine all the possibilities. Or, professional stage the same house. Show potential buyers the magic of the home. Fact. Only 10% of buyers can recognize the potential.

Staging - Home #2

  • 13. Staging Detail
    Staging Experts of greater Louisville (SEL) knowledge of current buyers’ expectations leads to faster sales. According to SEL’s 2011 statistics, 84% of staged homes in greater Louisville spent an average of 16 days on the market before receiving a signed contract.

Staging - Home #3

  • 14. Staging Detail
    With 90% or more of buyers viewing homes on-line to decide whether to visit, it is of the utmost importance to give your viewers a reason to make the drive to your home. Staging Experts are well aware of this fact and strive to assure your rooms will not only show well but also photograph well.

Imagine

  LivingSpaces Logo B&W 003

Imagine your spaces or your client’s simply reinvented, sometimes with nothing new added, just re-positioned.  A good stager can do that for you.

Think about it … we know instinctively when positive energy is flowing around us in a space.  When people comment on how comfortable and pleasant it is to visit your home or feel the excellent results after a meeting in your workplace, it is further indication that positive energy is flowing. I believe those subtle feelings are about balance. A good design stager knows how to achieve these balances using colors, textures and furniture placement.  A mirror near a window, a plant, and organic textures are simple examples of how “placement” can change the feel of a space from negative to positive.

Good design should be affordable and accessible to all …. a homeowner ready for a change, a real estate agent and client who need to sell fast, or a builder with too many empty houses on the market.  Folks think they can’t afford a decorator. They are afraid of the cost, but in the end a good design stager can save you tons of money. The statistics prove it every day in every market.

I have owned and operated Living Spaces for over 10 years as a part-time passion.  After spending the last five years of my career in management for event planning and commercial design, and love of design is calling me back. Please check out my web site at www.livingspacesbylyn.com to see the many examples of my work and then CALL me!

Design

  • Dsc_0025_640x428
    Just as each home is made of different rooms, each room is made of different design elements. These are the points of interest that define the room and, based on what you've told me, my vision for the room. Each one sets, and holds, the mood that fills the rooms.

Kitchen Renovation

  • 005
    One of the most important places in a home is the kitchen. Here is an example of a wonderful transformation. Originally, the kitchen had been separated from the breakfast room by a wall. Taking the wall out dramatically improved the flow of the two rooms. The windows, skylight, colors and other special touches added to the brightness and made it a wonderful space.
