“I want to tell you how appreciative I am for the work you did recently for my client’s home. I was immediately blown away with how different the house looked and had forgotten what a warm space it was. I must admit it has changed my view and I will try to never list a home without a consultation again, as I now see the value in staging any home. Thank you.”

Hello Yvonne, I have to send you a quick note of thanks for the marvelous job you did staging my house. You really transformed my space to something that appealed to a wider group of buyers! Initially I appreciated the list of suggestions you made of what to move out and then the lovely staging items you brought in. I think it takes a vision to see past the clutter and turn homes into a place that will appeal to the most buyers!

Thanks again Yvonne, I know your expertise was why I achieved the quick sales results I wanted.

When we were listing our home, it was unfurnished. Yvonne with Staging Calgary took the time to walk through our home and advised on what she felt we needed in order to obtain a quick sale at the best possible price. As we had already purchased another home, this was a great solution. Not having our home staged, I believe, would have led to a longer sale process due to the fact that the place would look like a house, not a home. Yvonne used the current colour of our walls (which she also helped us pick out previously) and used her furnishings and accents to make the home look amazing! Once the realtor saw the house staged, they increased the price by 3 to 4 times the cost of the staging. We sold very quickly and we are happy.

Thank you Yvonne!

My husband and I recently moved into a tiny, 100 year old home. While we loved the wall color in the living room/dining room (i.e. spring green), the rest of the rooms were dull and drab. Thankfully the painting company we hired put us in touch with Yvonne Laanstra. Yvonne was fabulous to work with. She asked what colours we were thinking of using, and what look and feel we were going for (simple cottage). Based off of that info, she then selected hues that complemented the existing spring green walls and maple hardwood floors. The end result….tranquil colours that are in harmony with one another. One room flows into the next. So lovely.

Our house now feels like our home.

It was a pleasure meeting you this past week. I appreciated your expert perspective on the review of our home and the thoroughness to which the rooms were checked out. The list you provided is a wonderful help for us to organize the steps necessary to take in order to bring the house into selling shape. I very much enjoyed the time I spent with you going through the details in a very relaxed and fun exchange. It was also a real learning experience for me on staging in general. Till next time.

Thanks so much for your help selecting our interior paint colors. That was so much fun!!

I can’t wait to see those lovely colours on our walls.

Thank you very much  for selecting paint colours with me. It was so helpful for me that you were able to point out the pros and cons of different colours for both the walls and the carpet separately, and then tie them together.  Your guidance helped me to see the undertones of the colours that I was looking at, and understand why certain combinations were better than others. I have never done a complete project like this before, and I am very happy that I can do both walls and carpet together in order for them to  complement each other.  Making these choices is a process and difficult to make choices completely alone. I am so happy the  Urban Painters provided your consultation as part of my project. 

I am looking forward to the work starting next week, and a few weeks of short term disruption will result in a newer look for my home.
