WELCOME to STAGING NEWS---

Hello All,
 
 
I wanted to start off by thanking Jacksonville Magazine for inviting all the local Transformations Staging School grads to a premiere party held recently at the beautiful Bo Concepts home furnishings store at the St. Johns Towne Center. Those who attended the event enjoyed food catered by the Blue Bamboo Restaurant. Special faces in the crowd included magazine managing editor, Alison Trinidad and VIP Peter Schlunssen with Bo Concepts direct from Denmark via NYC.  We may all be collaborating on a posh penthouse staging in the future. I'll keep you
posted.

From The Heart

REDESIGN INSPIRATION...
 
"My house sings," Oprah once said of her California residence. She could hardly contain her joy at finding and expressing her personal style. She has recently been the delighted recipient of a professional redesign.
 
Your house is not just a house. It's a living. breathing thing. It's your inner sanctum.
 
Whether you just need a little rearranging or an extreme make-over, home transformation can effect people in mysterious ways. "I stay home a lot more now." remarked a  client after the redesign of her beach cottage. "No restaurant, club or theater can compete with my 'new' home. It embraces me. It's a sonnet. It's a poem. It's me."

Well said! I'll let that be the last word.
Happy Decorating.
