It's always a great feeling to find that special piece of furniture or design access to highlight a room or area of your home.  Sometimes you search for days on end to find that special piece; sometimes you happen upon one when you least least expect it or just by chance.   In approaching each staging engagement, I like to get to know the space and learn from the property’s biggest advocate, the owner, what makes this property so special to them – learning what makes their house a “home”.  Then I try to find a special something to help bring that story to life whenever possible.  Here's a find that will make the statement I'm looking for in an upcoming listing - from start to finish - with a little DIY - giving new life to a vintage piece!
