Easy, inexpensive, and the results are crazy good.<br /><br />The sample pots at Home Depot are $5.00 and a board is also $5.00 - so for $10, I'm looking at a great backdrop for whatever I'm shooting. While waiting for the paint, I also tend to stock up on great colour chips, for you never know when you need that perfect shade for a project. And I hate picking colours in a store, so if you have a great collection of paint chips at home, you're saving yourself a step.<br /><br /><a name='more'></a><br /><br /><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="385" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/7quFXEJkGBM?rel=0" width="685"></iframe> <br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Rugs, Wreaths, and Quilts

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i951.photobucket.com/albums/ad351/2painters/1-P1110323.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://i951.photobucket.com/albums/ad351/2painters/1-P1110323.jpg" width="404" /></a></div>I've posted plenty about paintings, but often a home stager's best friend isn't what you see framed on the walls of a traditional museum or gallery.<br /><br />It's the quirky "finds" that get pressed into service as wall art.<br /><br />Need examples?<br /><br />How about an area rug like the one on the right?<br /><br />Can you believe that all it took to fasten it to the wall were three dressmakers pins along the top edge, pins that are all but invisible. And they leave almost invisible pin holes in the wall.<br /><br />The floppy fringe on the top of this rug doesn't bother me, but you could tuck it behind a rug as an alternative.  <br /><br />Another common textile used for wall decor is the quilt. <br /><br />I've written in my <a href="http://diyhomestagingtips.blogspot.com/p/ebooks.html" target="_blank">home staging eBook</a> that the wrong kind of quilts, and you know the grandma kind I mean -- as beautiful as they might be -- can age a home.<br /><br />But today's artsy quilts are a different story. They can make your home stand out in buyers' minds. Confused about how to hang them? Don't be. Just don't hang them from rings or tabs, but from a rod that distributes the weight of all that fabric. This is the way to go with rugs, tapestries, weavings and other textiles.<br /><br />You can easily hand stitch (or glue if the piece is not precious) a casing, a simple strip of strong fabric, to the top back of your hanging, and insert a rod that fastens to the wall.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i951.photobucket.com/albums/ad351/2painters/1-quiltonwallSimpleLiving.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="365" src="http://i951.photobucket.com/albums/ad351/2painters/1-quiltonwallSimpleLiving.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />Another method is to attach a strip of hook and loop tape to the top edge, and the other strip to a wood strip firmly mounted on the wall. <br /><br />Or Command strips from 3-M might be your choice for getting textiles on your walls. They come in all shapes and strengths, so I know you'll find one kind that's right for what you're hanging.  <br /><br />For more delicate textiles like scarves, lace and antique fabrics, you can attach these to a base fabric like linen or upholstery weight fabric to stabilize them. Mount this backer fabric on a stretched canvas, foamcore board, or even under framed glass.<br /><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Third Dimension</b></span><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i951.photobucket.com/albums/ad351/2painters/P1010943-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://i951.photobucket.com/albums/ad351/2painters/P1010943-1.jpg" width="256" /></a></div>Wall hangings that have more body to them than flat art will add an interesting layer to your staged spaces.<br /><br />The most common of these is The Wreath. Pinterest overflows with ideas for wreaths! <br /><br />My favorites are the seasonal ones. <br /><br />Just make sure that your Halloween wreath gets replaced before Christmas. There's no reason your potential  home buyers need to know how long your unoccupied home has been on the market and an updated seasonal wreath tells people that you still love your home.<br /><br />Check that your wreath is an asset to the room, something that adds texture and quality, and that it ties into the colors you've chosen for staging. <br /><br />Most of the wreaths on <a href="http://www.pinterest.com/barbarapilcher/wreaths-for-all-seasons/" target="_blank">my Pinterest board for Wreaths</a> are more suitable for exterior decor, but not all. My square wreath of pine cones looks super indoors.<br /><br />If you need ideas for current fabric wall hangings, use search terms like "Quilts as Wall Art" on Pinterest, and get ready for some treats.<br /><br /><strong><span style="font-size: large;">More Options</span></strong><br /><br />Here are other possibilities for filling up blank walls with art other than traditional paintings, whether your home is for sale or forever.<br /><br /><ul><li>Clothing, like saris and silk robes</li><li>Hand dyed masterpieces of your own like tie-dyed work</li><li>Batiks and ikat patterns from fabric samples</li><li>Machine-stitched free-form embroidery</li><li>Flags (as long as they do not announce a preference for a certain sports teams or impassioned nationalism for a foreign nation)</li><li>New upholstery or drapery fabric   </li></ul>Have fun with all the possibilities to fill your walls with subtle pattern, color and texture. With the right wall decor, buyers are bound to be impressed with the specialness of your home. Yours be the one house on the tour they remember.

This year, as an example - he's told his class he is going to be A Ghost, The Easter Bunny, A Marshmallow, and well, I'm sure a ton of other things. I took him to Party City and they had a wall of pictures of costumes, which I think helped him visualize what he wanted and he picked out the Police Office costume. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><a name='more'></a><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Obviously, as luck would have it - when you're picking a costume the week before Halloween, the police officer costume was sold out. So we did a little improvising and in the end I'm happier with our makeshift costume because it's less stress on him to "dress up". I picked up individual pieces to put together his costume, but the part that makes it ridiculously fun for him - is the act of handing out tickets to people. (He told me he's giving me a ticket because I was brushing my teeth while driving. I have never, ever brushed my teeth while driving so I'm not sure where that came from, but he deemed it unsafe, and, I tend to agree)<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQDZplXuwsN8Zj0uacikHOB6OSgZIiNIBtjuh5fTXdpo58VPbdECaVPpmJY1tkUdEBZSa9XinqQmBCtVY_t-6TY91rq7BRct0YuIUxroQCCe1qHNEGAKIQI9pWqZoOlnm5S45Ld9gQSYY/s1600/IMG_4016.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQDZplXuwsN8Zj0uacikHOB6OSgZIiNIBtjuh5fTXdpo58VPbdECaVPpmJY1tkUdEBZSa9XinqQmBCtVY_t-6TY91rq7BRct0YuIUxroQCCe1qHNEGAKIQI9pWqZoOlnm5S45Ld9gQSYY/s1600/IMG_4016.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div>I made him up his own note pad of tickets to rip off tickets to hand out to people - which for him, is what he's most excited about.

The only thing I'm debating are the handcuffs I bought. I have images of me being handcuffed to the couch and my child running free. So, yeah, those may go back.<br /><br />Anyhow, so simple, but I thought as other Moms and Dads may be freaking out the days leading up to Halloween, this costume may be easy to put together by finding each item at your local party store.<br /><br />xo Linds</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div>

Blog tour Amsterdam - Great sound from Libratone

I listen to music all the time, especially when working.

Not the elaborate kind, with editors and stylists. But instead - me in the kitchen mid afternoon, my hair in top knot bun, coffee on the kitchen table, when the sun is at its best - standing on a chair, cranking my neck over a board, or holding a reflector with my chin as I try to get close to a product. Over the last ten years of business I've explored photography .... what makes a great shot, how to achieve that great shot and how to do it without a lot of money.<br /><a name='more'></a><br /><br /><br />I've decided to write a series of posts sharing some photography tips, in what is simply going to be called my "Photography Series". I've broken the tips into a series of posts that I'll roll out over the upcoming weeks,. months or, perhaps year - as new ideas or, tricks come up. It's a little series that I hope inspires you, either for your own blog, or, business.<br /><br />Because my journey at perfecting my photography was (and is) rooted in product photography, it's fitting and, perhaps necessary to start the series talking about photography for business owners - e-commerce ventures. That being said, I think as a blogger looking to improve your own art / styling, this post may still prove to be interesting.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNXXc4UIuTi7roV3oWS7DMt7IZfXLcWJo9ZMbT-7W7X5SQjdTek6A9_fJICULmOnTuut3JIaMZbip0QWlaF3OKvCoLEH0UwNL1ns0iNPxY_WMUE7_ZmyqF8AUntvioiWcbOzr3LoMjra0/s1600/Untitled-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; display: inline !important; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNXXc4UIuTi7roV3oWS7DMt7IZfXLcWJo9ZMbT-7W7X5SQjdTek6A9_fJICULmOnTuut3JIaMZbip0QWlaF3OKvCoLEH0UwNL1ns0iNPxY_WMUE7_ZmyqF8AUntvioiWcbOzr3LoMjra0/s1600/Untitled-1.jpg" /></a><br /><br />Before I can dive into the tricks, I think it's important to talk about the inspiration process. Because one must be inspired, and have a feeling of what one wants a photo to look like, before one can actually take a photo. This particular post has a main focus on the business / entrepreneurial reader because for me, the process of photography and, taking better photos, was as a result of taking product shots for my store, and my art. But I think should you have a blog, or, want to try "styling" photos for fun, this post will be perhaps of interest.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNXXc4UIuTi7roV3oWS7DMt7IZfXLcWJo9ZMbT-7W7X5SQjdTek6A9_fJICULmOnTuut3JIaMZbip0QWlaF3OKvCoLEH0UwNL1ns0iNPxY_WMUE7_ZmyqF8AUntvioiWcbOzr3LoMjra0/s1600/Untitled-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNXXc4UIuTi7roV3oWS7DMt7IZfXLcWJo9ZMbT-7W7X5SQjdTek6A9_fJICULmOnTuut3JIaMZbip0QWlaF3OKvCoLEH0UwNL1ns0iNPxY_WMUE7_ZmyqF8AUntvioiWcbOzr3LoMjra0/s1600/Untitled-1.jpg" /></a></div><br /><br />With it being easier than ever to actually open an online store, setting yourself apart from the rest is really, really important. Success lies in many factors, but how you present yourself to the world - just like how you would style a bricks and mortar store, is something you should focus on. And that's where photography comes in.<br /><br />But before I can even touch on how to style a great photo (that is in an upcoming post), it's really important to familiarize yourself with <i>what makes </i>a great photo<i>.</i> This process is really quite similar to interior decorating. Before you can decorate your home, you have to get a feeling for what YOUR style is, and, how you want to put your stamp on the process. The same is true for photography styling in my opinion.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4aPXnkD3Wx1njuv1HjLRPBGtbSn-XXnLbBaKaGQFnfQBtAse_J-n9uxO1t7R-YThNzwLoOVjqGDn7oLvcM1oA-YHwe5_6ko-CgmlFyZW-xVlQuUGijAcDP8Q4N2Xoypf7SRa-lkYi5W8/s1600/Untitled-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4aPXnkD3Wx1njuv1HjLRPBGtbSn-XXnLbBaKaGQFnfQBtAse_J-n9uxO1t7R-YThNzwLoOVjqGDn7oLvcM1oA-YHwe5_6ko-CgmlFyZW-xVlQuUGijAcDP8Q4N2Xoypf7SRa-lkYi5W8/s1600/Untitled-1.jpg" /></a></div><br />The first thing I tend to do, and, do often, is study other people's photography. What do I like? What makes it a great photo? How did they achieve that look?  Some examples are found on sites like Etsy, where sellers have seen the value in finding a "look" for their store. Great examples are found at <a href="http://www.awin1.com/cread.php?awinmid=6073&awinaffid=218085&clickref=&p=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.etsy.com%2Fshop%2Flovelane%3Fref%3Dl2-shop-info-name" target="_blank">LoveLane </a>(photo above)- you'll see that red stool repeated throughout the photos.<br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwS01Xiz8vcoFoMIM02kIYFBJTSzOKU6xdLpRnIZGWdz-M93teWOqbTBf5FUOm2cpNsHGj51BQDWXovAlTAFRM4MpxpAv2etnQhFKwDO7fS290MVCgXs1gDjfuFr5JKIpkYEklADbZyEA/s1600/Untitled-3b.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwS01Xiz8vcoFoMIM02kIYFBJTSzOKU6xdLpRnIZGWdz-M93teWOqbTBf5FUOm2cpNsHGj51BQDWXovAlTAFRM4MpxpAv2etnQhFKwDO7fS290MVCgXs1gDjfuFr5JKIpkYEklADbZyEA/s1600/Untitled-3b.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div>If you look at <a href="http://www.anthropologie.com/anthro/category/new+arrivals/jewelryaccessories-new.jsp?cm_sp=TOPNAV-_-JEWELRYACCESSORIES-_-JEWELRYACCESSORIES-NEW#/" target="_blank">Anthropologie's </a>website (fig. 1), everything is shot on the same coloured background, same lighting - it looks like it could have all been shot on the same day, but likely were shot over the the course of a few months as new products were added to the lineup.<br /><br />Hop over to <a href="http://www.bhldn.com/shop-decor/" target="_blank">Bhldn </a>(fig. 2) and although their product photography look is TOTALLY different - they also have a consistent look. You know which site your on, without having to look at the logo. <i>Branding is in the photography</i>. Although these are owned by the same Mother company, they have different looks to their photos, reflective of the brand.For an e-commerce shop, consistency is the key.<br /><br /><i>Blogger Tip - we can also gain amazing insight from studying the photographs and taking inspiration on how to style things when say, we want to show a tutorial on a craft project, or, say, show a "reveal" of something we made. We can learn a lot from studying retailers, as much as we can gain insight from fellow bloggers.</i><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4Hdf5vBPw72iGfRyABISB6pMI7m3z54cXtM10bmwKtEh3SZ4OmePePzy91yoKNy6HPUZk7d7mQivqPWWTuTejU7DdD1K-SgG_2wLLZvbza9lxACLAi5AEynlDcd6yUPfrG-PfOGrJjdY/s1600/Untitled-5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4Hdf5vBPw72iGfRyABISB6pMI7m3z54cXtM10bmwKtEh3SZ4OmePePzy91yoKNy6HPUZk7d7mQivqPWWTuTejU7DdD1K-SgG_2wLLZvbza9lxACLAi5AEynlDcd6yUPfrG-PfOGrJjdY/s1600/Untitled-5.jpg" /></a></div><br /><br />So we've narrowed down why we want to take great photos for our shops (or, our blogs) and, given some references to the shops that are really the pros at how to style. But then you and I, what can we take away? I love studying how people take photos.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEio6GHC14o4OMymrJ4_4oNEq6NWdFSXiGV2YEerc0mH88FbFf_kLK7MAsAot9XOivk8VJsY6Bgiw3tLX7uwLSezlN3ejPWsQvjSN6fibGQQMctsov0rJsKbLB2jk9PgTzVLfcck4PaLgMI/s1600/a.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEio6GHC14o4OMymrJ4_4oNEq6NWdFSXiGV2YEerc0mH88FbFf_kLK7MAsAot9XOivk8VJsY6Bgiw3tLX7uwLSezlN3ejPWsQvjSN6fibGQQMctsov0rJsKbLB2jk9PgTzVLfcck4PaLgMI/s1600/a.jpg" /></a></div><br />What I love is the soft pale pink background of the shots. It adds warmth and, is definitely applicable to telling a story of a wedding. It looks like a pale pink linen. This shot inspires some photos, which I'll go into later on in the series.<br /><br />To kick off this series I wanted to really emphasize that it's ok to learn by studying other people's work. Head over to Pinterest and look at photos that are styled really nicely. <a href="http://www.pinterest.com/littlehouseblog/photography-styling/" target="_blank">I have a board on Pinterest of photographs that are styled really well.</a> Although at first glance they may not look like product photography ideas, you can apply a look to your own brand.<br /><br /><i>Blogger tip: As a blogger, you're less likely to stick with one look for your photos as you're touching on a variety of topics (most likely) so, styling in different ways will be part of the fun. The same tricks apply - to browse Pinterest and emmerse yourself in admmiring other peoples great photos and see if you can deconstruct how they may have done it, and, how you can achieve the look. </i><br /><br /><br /><i>Next up: Part II, Creating interesting looks with inexpensive props</i>
