What I love about my job is that while my clients learn valuable tips from me,  I learn a lot from my clients. Take this house in Sammamish, WA. I did a staging consultation here about two weeks ago. The seller was delightful (fortunately, so far, I’ve only had nice experiences with my clients). She was explaining me how they designed their house, and, trust me, they did such a good job!

Here’s what I learned during my consultation:

1. There’s nothing more inviting than a (covered) terrace overlooking the lake.

2. There’s nothing more luxurious than a whole floor dedicated exclusively to the master suite:

Here you can see only a portion of it, however, the master suite includes: two terraces, a reading nook, the master bedroom (in the photo), the master bathroom and a big closet.

3. There’s nothing more clever than using a metal edging to give a 50s look to a kitchen counter:

And look how the bar stools match the style. Now I’m seriously considering a 50s look for my kitchen as well, and I admit that I’ve already checked eBay to see how much those big Coca Cola signs are! As I said, I’ve learned as well.

Oh, by the way, you can contact Christine Kipp if you are interested to see this house.
