Home Sweet Home

Well the last seven months around the Miller/Lemmo home has been eventful to say the very least. Last Fall, when we found out I was pregnant we dove head first into home renovations.  Luckily for me, Tony (my partner) is hybrid between Martha Stewart and Bob Villa.  And luckily for him, I am really talented general contractor i.e. - picking out interior finishes, furniture and decor.  Here's an overall view of everything that has been completed thus far in our 66 year old Waveland Woods home. Stay tuned for room by room details with progress photos and details of what was used and where we found it.

422 38th St Pl Home Staging Before & After

Jim Baehr of Iowa Realty recently contacted me to help stage a couple of homes for his clients. The beautiful, classic home was built in 1920.  The owners have done several recent updates including the kitchen and all new bathrooms just to name a few. The living room, entry way and dining room was budgeted for the stage of this empty home.  Check out the before and after and the full listing here.

3120 Sheridan Ave Home Before & After

Rochelle Burnett of Keller Williams hired me to stage an adorable open floor plan home in the Northwest Des Moines area this week.  This home was completely empty, just a dark rug and two bar stools were left behind.  I was asked to stage living room, bathroom and kitchen.
