Chair covers – who knew?

Beach_wedding2

My first introduction to chair covers was joining Hire Things. I’d never even heard of them before that. O f course I got married 15yrs ago so that might have something to do with it…

We had several listed on Hire Things that were being hired out with astonishing frequency. What was this all about? I did some research!

I found that chair covers are used to …

Hide  worn and tired chairs

Add elegance and create an amazing atmosphere

Unify the room and create a complete look that all works together.

Transform everyday rooms ( or beaches) into amazing places!

Well there you go, now I know. My wedding in the very utilitarian local yacht club could certainly have benefited from a transformation!

They certainly make a difference to your venue that table clothes and flowers only start and aren’t just for weddings. You can totally glam up any event instantly by ordering the complete package.

There’s a rainbow of colours available as well as different designs and textures – I’m quite partial to these paua coloured ones myself. You can find the right style to fit for your chairs

Starting from $4 each you can get them delivered and even put on the chairs for you, a bargain!

Make over your Home for Summer or for Sale!

With spring arriving it’s a great time to have a clear out, shake off winter and set the scene for enjoying a glorious summer.

Whether your selling your home or it’s just in need of a makeover, home stylists can add real value to your property and your lifestyle.

Clutter can be depressing and overwhelming. Many people get stressed out over how to store all their stuff! One of the obvious solutions is to get rid of the clutter!

Lorraine from Housedressings says ‘if in doubt chuck it out!’ and offers  a few hot tips to get you started

* Kids gear (tricycles, skateboards, roller skates) stored in the garage for sentimental reasons – even though the kids are off at university
* Kitchen appliances purchased on impulse and which are rarely used (bread makers, juicers, grinders, and blenders are typical items taking up valuable space)
* Paper – old newspapers, magazines, paper backs, Time and Reader’s Digest magazines and National Geographic’s
* The two drawers of plastic containers – lids without containers and containers without lids!
* Gym gear – used for three weeks and then abandoned
* Clothes you haven’t worn in over a year
* That ‘interesting’ vase that Aunty Myrtle gave you
* Any item that you don’t really love

We have several Home Stagers who can help you with simple, inexpensive improvements that can be made within your budget. Rhonda from first Impressions offers a great DIY home staging package full of tips and advice to use yourself.

first impressionsHome Staging has become hugely popular when selling homes, making sure you have the best presentation to secure the best possible price.

Essentially, home staging is selling a lifestyle by helping prospective purchasers visualise what it would be like for them to live in the space. Home Stagers  use home design techniques to their full effect, bringing out the best in a property.
