East Coast Stager Meets West Coast Stager
A few weeks ago, I got lucky. Michelle Minch was visiting Atlanta and I happened to have a staging scheduled during her visit. Before Michelle arrived, we had spoken on the phone numerous times. She mentioned that she'd be glad to help if I happened to have a staging that needed to be done while she was here. Fortunately for me, I did. And what a treat it was. I've always admired Michelle's work and the thought of having her here to do a staging was thrilling.
Here are a couple before and after pictures of the home Michelle help me stage.
Kitchen Before being staged. NOTE: This home is NOT occupied. The homeowners had purchased a new home a cuple of miles away. At the time the "before" pictures were taken, the home was going thru some minor renovations.
With the renovations completed, we were able to bring in our accessories and stage the home. Here's the after picture:

A special note of thanks to Michelle Minch with Moving Mountains Design! It was a treat like none other to have you stage with me.

Hi, Kathy. I live in a small town in a very rural area in Tennessee; there is not even ONE home stager here! I love reading stagers' posts and seeing the "Before and After" pictures....what an INCREDIBLE difference! You two did a wonderful job; this kitchen looks very appealing now.
Kathy - What a difference the stager's touch makes. You make it look so easy.
How fun you two were able to work together!! The home is beautiful-a showcase indeed!!
How very fun and special for BOTH of you! A great treat for sure! Thx for sharing the time together and the great presentation created!
What a beautiful house and fabulous staging job. I love that countertops are being accessorized more. Remember a few years back when everyone cleared so much away the kitchen had no personality. Your accessories choices are very tasteful and inviting.
I'm jealous. Beautiful work by the way - no doubt from either of you =)
Kitchens are always fun to stage! Staging with another great professional is even more fun!! Thanks for sharing Kathy!
Oh how fun and I am sooooo jealous! It is such a thrill and a treat to work with someone else that you admire. Even a greater thrill to work on a job together. So glad that you both were able to meet up. Great minds think alike and BOTH of you girls are the professional stagers that lead the way for all of us ;))
How could it not turn out beautiful? I know you two had alot of fun and laughs, along with all the hard work.
Leslie - I sure wish you were here in Atlanta as I'd help you in a heart beat. If you haven't already joined, we have a group called Staging Before & After Pictures. You'll see LOTS of before and after pictures from stagers all across the country.
Thanks, John.
Cathy - making it a show-case was our goal. So, thanks for your kind words.
Karen - it was SO special to have her assist.
Kimberly - Yes, I remember when the advice was to clear off the countertops completely. And you're right, it then is void of any personality.
Karen - A long while back, I remember Lori Kim staging with Michelle and thinking... some day. The day finally came and it was such a treat.
Hi, Kathleen - kitchens are one of my most favorite to stage!
Awe, thanks Lori Kim!
Cindy - I worked her to the bones. Just kidding. We did have some laughs. Not only that, but... I was able to take her over to the last model home I had staged in Atlanta to meet up with a professional photographer.
Kathy
Double the fun with two of you there and 1/2 the time? Its amazing how much difference a professional photo makes too.
Leanne - It was "double the fun." Thanks for the compliment on the photo. I actually took that photo using my Nikon D90. It's an incredible camera and I absolutely love it.
Kathy
How fun to have the opportunity to work with a peer from another state. Beautiful work Kathy and Michelle!
That's great. Bet you had a blast and learned things from each other.
What a difference! You definitely made that kitchen a wow factor.
How fun to meet up and work with another stager from AR Kathy! Looks like you both did a fine job, what beautiful end product.
Hi Kathy, great work and a wonderful transformation. I love to work and team up with other stagers. There is always something to learn.
Michele - it was great fun.
Lori - I taught her so much (kidding)!
Thanks, James.
Cynthia - I'm so looking forward to the RESA convention as it will be a great opportunity to meet other stagers from the Rain.
Barbara - Thank you. It was a great experience.
Kathy
2 of my favorite stagers working on the same house no wonder it looks divine!
What fun for you two! I have the opportunity to work with other stagers each time I do a stage and it is always inspiring to have another creative mind working with the same accessories and see what other ways something can be displayed. The place looks great!
An AR success story, and hopefully a sales success story as well Nice job ladies!
What a difference! Beautiful pictures!
Awe, Jackson. Thank you!!
Lisa - we sure did have fun.
Thanks, Jenny.
Kathy
Wow! Great work from both of you! What lucky homeowners to have two true pros working on their home! So glad you turned the lights on for the photos. The ceiling looked like swiss cheese with the lights off. LOL!
That must have been so much fun! What a great opportunity for both of you and how lucky was that client!!
I'd love to work with another stager...as they say, "two minds are better than one." It really came out beautiful!
