You just moved.
You have a couch, which you spent a whole months earnings on when you got your first job.
That has to stay.

First, we meet with you to determine your needs. How can we help you?
Next, we discuss the space. How is the space used? Who uses it? Kids? Adults? Entertaining? Homework? Reading?
We also discuss budget. How much do you want to spend? Please don't be typically Canadian, and say, "well, you know. . . we hadn't really thought about it".
Read MoreWe had previously worked with this client on home staging for the sale of her condo. When she came to us for help with her new penthouse in the sky, we were thrilled to take on the project with her.
The brief was to create a mature, yet cozy space that would be great for the couple to lounge in. They like raw materials and selected barn board flooring as a developer upgrade. Too much wood can be, well, woody, so we opted for natural materials and shapes to add texture and interest.
We showed our client the boards last night and she loved them all. Help her make the right choice: submit your vote in the comments below or tweet to @modernstagingca

Here is your opportunity to start off well, with a nice, clean introduction. Home Staging helps sell. Don't skimp on the details.
Read MoreWorking on a decorating project for a client, I wanted to find that perfect couch. Something lush, with diamond tufts. Maybe feeling like a deco library couch. I had seen them in magazines, and loved the look.
So I started shopping. Wouldn’t you know it, but I could not find the style in the dimensions and colour that I wanted. Not a single store in the Big Smoke carried just want I wanted. Decorators can be pretty picky when it comes to the details, and retail stores just weren’t cutting it.
