 Quite simply put; Life is a metamorphasis

I grew up on a farm in Michigan and after high school; I began a new life in Southern California, got married and started a family.  Besides having raised 3 children, my passion is painting and decorating.  Over the years I painted or sketched things I love:  the sea, whimsical fantasy, people or whatever came to mind.  I often drove my Father to distraction with my incessant re designing rooms at home.  Meanwhile, life progresses with twists and turns that you hadn't planned on, so the dream sat on a shelf in my heart for many years. While spending time at home with my children, I would decorate rooms and paint walls for family & friends or anyone who was willing to try something different. Art has always been my heart's passion and has flourished into a love of Interior Decorating. I get inspiration everywhere I look. 

While in high school, I studied with the Famous Artist's School of Westport Connecticut. In 2004, I graduated from Thomson Education Direct, and was certified by Interior Decorators International, Inc.  I have studied almost everything Barbara Jennings has written on Home Staging & Redesign. Other than that, there is no list of exhibitions or awards ... just my art and design work in people's homes.

About 10 years ago, a dear friend's birthday was upon me and my wallet was on a diet.  While taking out the trash, I spotted a fabulous sparkling rock lying on the ground. I love bright shiny objects!!! I took my last $8 dollars, went to a local craft store and bought a few little bottles of paint along with a cheap brush (and I do mean cheap!!!), I went home, scrubbed and painted that rock just for her. This started an unexpected momentum!  I couldn't keep up with the requests for my rock art.  It was then suggested I "live on the edge" and paint murals.  After receiving tons of praise and one very dear friend continually asking me why I was working for someone else, I decided to start my own business.  A couple of years later, I studied Interior Decorating,then staging & the rest is, as they say ....history.

                                       LET'S FACE IT, Home Staging costs money, but it's a smart and profitable investment if you want to sell your house in this competitive market today.  In the Inland Empire there are THOUSANDS of homes for sale!!!!  While Staging Services can "seem" high, they're usually a real bargain when you consider the time and effort it requires to achieve your desired goal.  Whether you're a Do It Yourself person or choose to hire a stager, you will find the benefits far outweigh the cost.  In most cases, home staging by a professional is far less costly than reducing the sale price of a home that isn't marketable. WHY STAGE?   Rooms should have something great to say!  Simply put, buyers need help visualizing themselves living in those rooms.You don't want someone to walk into a room and say...'I wonder what I'd do with this?'  We want them to know exactly what they would do with it! If you can supply the beautiful, warm & inviting vision of them living there, they'll be more inclined to "see" the value and propose an offer.  What are your rooms saying to potential buyers?Did you know?  Staged houses show better and sell faster than vacant ones and generally for more.It may be time consuming to accomplish, but it's worth all the effort if your house sells faster and for a higher price.  Many owners receive multiple offers for more than the asking price after staging their home.   HOW?  I'm so glad you asked!!!By addressing the weakness' that currently exist in your house.We're not talking major renovations here!  Instead, we recommend the following,Curb Appeal is most important: Let's dress it up!De Clutter every room:  Let's pack it up!Minor repairs that enhance the benefits:  Let's fix them up!Lighten and brighten every room: Let the sun shine in!Clean, Clean, Clean: Let's make everything sparkle and shine!Give each room a voice: Let's make them sing!We can utilize what you already have and if needed, add a few enhancements: Let's show case it!If the house is vacant, rental furniture can be arranged. Of course, I'd be remiss by not telling you, pricing will vary as no 2 houses are alike.                                                                                                      THE SIMPLE BOTTOM LINE IS:                                                                                        "price and presentation" make the difference                            in getting a serious buyer or a lot of walk throughs.                                                                        Will your house measure up?                                                                                                       When you need a little help with your image                                          Give me a call: 909-239-5340                                                                                                                                    Visit my website:  www.granadodesign.com                    BEST WISHES FOR A SPEEDY AND PROFITABLE SALE!Serving the Inland Empire, CA following cities: Banning, Beaumont, Chino, Colton, Corona, Desert Hot Springs, Fontana, Grand Terrace, Hemet, Hesperia, Indian Wells, Indio, La Quinta, Lake Elsinore, Loma Linda, Montclair, Moreno Valley, Murrieta, Norco, Ontario, Palm Desert, Palm Springs, Perris, Rancho Cucamonga,  Redlands, Rialto, Riverside, San Bernardino, San Jacinto &  Upland.
