New kid in town. Fayetteville has a new unique gift shop that offers statement pieces, local handmade candles from reclaimed wine,
liquor and kraft beer bottles that features a one of a kind reclaimed lid from fallen trees.<br />

Bridgeview Candles, Accessories & Design located at 139 S. Court Street, in downtown Fayetteville offers gently used furniture,
accessories and designer candles.
Sharon, a realtor for over 30 years, is an Accredited Home Stager and is putting her real estate and home staging experience to work. The shop offers designer Bridgeview Candles, home décor, interior design, web design services and realty services.

One of the shop's highlights is their handmade Bridgeview Candles, soy candles in reclaimed high-end wine, liquor and kraft beer bottles. Adam Morton, makes these candles and are fashioned with a wooden lid reclaimed from fallen trees.
Adam said he first got the idea to create candles after seeing his mother (me) cut glass bottles for decorative purposes. He began teaching himself how to make candles and his business has grown to the point he quit his other job to pursuit the craft. Adam, after three years,
is featured in over 99 boutique shops throughout seven states.

Located in Historic Fayetteville, this lovely home sits on 5.3 acres. Originally called "The Elmont" it was built by a prominent Fayetteville attorney around 1910. The exterior has the original lap-siding that has been lovingly restored.
The interior of the home was all re-done from the studs out in 2008. There are 4 comfortable bedroms and two ceramic style baths. Over 3,000 square feet of gleaming hardwood floors, generous entry, each room is sure to please.<br />

There are three fireplaces, original to the house. One in the comfortable living room, one in the dining room, and
one in the English-style den. The den has raised paneled cherry cabinetry with bookshelves that extend to the ceiling.
What an incredible spot to call your office or a quiet room to slip away and read your favorite book?

<h2>
Oldest Town in West Virginia -</h2>
<br />
My husband and I had never been to Shepherdstown until our son bought and has painstakingly and still painstakingly restored a house that was built in
1760's . More about the house in a later post.
Our first visit to this area , we fell in love with the historic houses in downtown, the college smack in the middle of town. The
energy is alive and happening in Shepherdstown.

Restaurants in Shepherdstown are everywhere! I have not had the opportunity to try them all, but I will tell you about two of
them that can't go wrong.
Betty's Restaurant is a Shepherdstown landmark and the home of the best sausage gravy or chipped beef gravy around. Not a place to
count calories for sure, but if you are looking for good old-fashioned home cooking - Betty's is the place. More than likely there
will be a wait.<br />

<em>The Blue Moon Café</em> - has everything you would want in dining. The setting to begin with, then you have the organic offerings which is
always a treat. Music, wine, & atmosphere! What more could you ask for. Except I did ask for a candle for my table the night we dined
there - it just seemed fitting.<br />
When there I recommend to start your experience with the Tuscan Bean Bruschetta or Cucumber Bruschetta. Love, Love, Love, the Hummus Plate. Hmmm! I'm ready to go now.<br />

One of my most favorite places to explore, shop, dream is Ikea. My very first visit to their store in Charlotte found me hanging outside the display of their 600-800 square foot spaces that would offer
you everything you would need to exist in a tiny apartment anywhere. I could have moved right in
this sweet cocoon of a space. Can you spot the kitty cat?<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have always been in love with "white rooms". There is something about</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
entering an all white room that speaks to me instantly about freshness, crispness,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and a sense of peacefulness.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
If upon an indebt look at an "all white" room you will soon realize,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
it is anything but.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
An easy task . . . purchase everything white, and place it in your room. It takes</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
a little more thought than that. Let's explore the steps in getting that fresh</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
"white" room.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

</div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Decide where you "will not" use white. Perhaps you have natural hardwood floors or a sisal rug, furniture with exposed wood. Then decide where the white "will be". More than likely it will be in the upholstery, pillows, drapery, bedding or accessories.</div>

The Kitchen. . . Can't you picture yourself having breakfast or lunch or</div>

I have had an "almost" all white room and raised our three children at the same time. I had two sofas slip-covered in a white damask fabric. At the end of the summer season, the slip covers would come off and into the washer they would go and back on the sofas. We then down-sized and the sofas went off to two of my children's homes for more years of service, still looking fresh as ever. If you have ever dreamed of having a white room, but a little scared, go ahead and give it a try! I did, and to this day - never regretted it. In fact, as I sit here</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
writing this post, I'm just about ready to do it again! . . . . . .</div>

Take Me Home Country Roads to the Place I Belong - West Virginia</h3>

<br />
It's Summer and I have been reflecting on our beautiful State and all that it has to offer. Fayetteville in particular.<br />
<br />
My husband and I were blessed several years ago, we had the opportunity to purchase back his boyhood home in Fayetteville, West Virginia where we both were raised. The house was built by
the Montgomery's as a cottage in 1865. Nestled on two acres of property in downtown , all of its previous owners have lovingly kept the original windows and the original wood siding.<br />
<br />
Over the past 25 or so years, the flavor of our small town has changed as we knew it growing up,.<br />
Gone are the days of the sleepy little hometown where the kids hung out on the street corners. You walk downtown today and you find mountain bikes, kayaks, rafts, strapped to the roofs of cars- ready to take full advantage of the great outdoors. <br />
<br />
Fayetteville has become a melting pot of young professional people that love the outdoors bringing with them diverse backgrounds, talents, and a beautiful energy to this place I call home. <br />
<br />
<br />

View at the Lake is stunning. The expansive decks and lower grassy area gives you an Open Invitation to Enjoy! The house is situated on 3.3 acres and the asking price is $475,000. We were called in to stage and list the property for sale. </div>

The white appliances were changed out to stainless that compliment the wormy chestnut cabinetry and updates the whole appearance of the kitchen. Add a lamp with an oversized bowl of green apples and you are good to go! <br />

The best use of the family room on the lower level was not being utilized for comfort. We added chairs, a side chest
with lamp, books for reading and grounded the room with a great print above the fireplace.

The master was given a lighter and more serene appearance. With a neutral cover, we replaced the lamps with beautiful glass ones that gleamed. Freshened the room with new pillows. Again, notice the difference in wall color. Warmer and more Welcoming!

The View is very important when marketing property and particularly when it comes to water, nature, mountains , desert or just a beautiful piece of property. However, if the interior of the home does not reflect
the same value of beauty, there is a void and unsettling of the human spirit. </div>

First, let me say that I am not in any fashion certified in Feng Shui, I just love the peaceful and calm
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
feeling I get when reading about and looking at the photographs. Now. . . that said I'll continue.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I found my copy of <i>The Feng Shui Home </i>sitting on my shelf in my office. I haven't looked at it for quite</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
some time but what caught my attention upon opening it, I found a little "post-it" note that I had scribbled -</div>
<br />
Feng Shui tip for Speeding Up a House Sale<br />
<br />
If you are having problems, take a red envelope and place in it:<br />
<br />
A piece of metal from the kitchen<br />
Some earth from the garden<br />
Some wood from a skirting board<br />
<br />
Seal the envelope and throw it into a fast-moving river.<br />
<br />
<br />
Hey, you say "Whatever it Takes". I have to say that I do believe in the principals of Feng Shui, however,with <i><b>staging</b></i> your home for sale, I believe we can dismiss getting a piece of metal from the kitchen, dirt from garden, and won't damage your baseboards for a little wood.
Take a look at these rooms and judge for yourself, the peaceful, neutral colors with a little of the unexpected for interest. You will agree the principals of staging and the art of Feng Shui have some common threads.<br />

Clutter represents stagnant energy and isn't just made up of unstored belongings. Magazines and newspapers also constitute clutter. Most of us hold on to clothes "in case" we might need them. It is far better to</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
live for today and create space for something new which can be worn now. For staging, closets should</div>

Neutrals are one of my favorite things in life. They go with EVERYTHING! If you look closely at the rooms I have
brought to you today and study them, neutrals are anything but boring. For instance, take the first picture. How many colors of neutral can you find, how about designs, and textures? That's the great thing about using a soft
easy color palate, most anything goes with it. A room painted in neutral shades will appeal to most buyers who
can in-vision themselves moving into the space and they might not even realize what is so appealing about it. It gives the room - a feeling of space - and we all like that feeling.
Take a look at your room colors today.</div>

HAPPY MONDAY!<br />

As an Accredited Stager, it is not uncommon to bring in or re-purpose some items that
are already in your house. We may find something in the basement sitting on the shelf
covered in dust and find a perfect spot that we can use to enhance a specific focal point in your house.
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The wire basket filled with rich green moss balls can
be used in so many areas. Fireplace, table by the
window. On a bedside table. The cost is minimal
but the impact is BIG!
If you will notice the beautiful detailing on the wall behind the fireplace in this room.
Become aware of how the mirror, the little greenery and the fireplace draws your eye to
that space. If you will stand in the doorway of each room of your home, study it, and
find the focal point of that room and that's where the emphasis needs to be. Play up the
strong points of each space.
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-taXGbuyBzAo/URlVCs7zcdI/AAAAAAAAATk/BPPS6f9UQf4/s1600/pillows.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="192" width="192" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-taXGbuyBzAo/URlVCs7zcdI/AAAAAAAAATk/BPPS6f9UQf4/s320/pillows.jpg" /></a></div>
Pillows. .Pillows. . .Pillows. When was the last time you freshened your room with
new ones? I have found in years of staging houses, the best sofa, is a timeless sofa,
and it will be solid color, or slip-covered in a beautiful solid fabric. The punch
comes with pillows. Up-to-date colors and patterns on a solid color sofa will always
be a great buy.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Gd9keLAbKN0/URlWDwyk9MI/AAAAAAAAAT0/XR_kq8BaUlw/s1600/tall%2Bsofa.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="146" width="192" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Gd9keLAbKN0/URlWDwyk9MI/AAAAAAAAAT0/XR_kq8BaUlw/s320/tall%2Bsofa.jpg" /></a></div>

The Power of Three. When accessorizing a space . . .three is the MAGIC number.
Take time this week to walk through your house and look at it through the eyes of a
Buyer. What can you live without and start to de-clutter. Keep your Staging Props
to a minimum and focus on the focal points in a room.
LET'S GET STAGING & GET IT SOLD!

It's fun to show property to prospective buyers. As you stop in front of the house you are about to show . . .
The reactions sometimes are priceless. It's the first peek as to what they might find inside. Staging starts
at the front door. See if you think these would wet your appetite to Hurry Inside to explore the rest of this home.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-am7opF-56D0/URlBI6QUrWI/AAAAAAAAAR8/L_K6lV3qMK8/s1600/front%2Bdoor%2Bwith%2Byellow%2Bdoor.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="278" width="192" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-am7opF-56D0/URlBI6QUrWI/AAAAAAAAAR8/L_K6lV3qMK8/s320/front%2Bdoor%2Bwith%2Byellow%2Bdoor.jpg" /></a></div>
This front entrance with the yellow door framed by the black shutters has a little of
the unexpected.
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Cbjiay9wCX0/URlCeg1gCjI/AAAAAAAAASM/yLlLD2s5WpE/s1600/front%2Bdoor%2Bwith%2Bplanters%2Band%2Bwhite%2Bflowers.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="257" width="192" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Cbjiay9wCX0/URlCeg1gCjI/AAAAAAAAASM/yLlLD2s5WpE/s320/front%2Bdoor%2Bwith%2Bplanters%2Band%2Bwhite%2Bflowers.jpg" /></a></div>
The contrast of concrete planters with the beautiful white flowers
against the shiny black front door is fresh and inviting choice<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-YJrzGTxTNgE/URlCwUTvcYI/AAAAAAAAASY/5a7OrYsfDGo/s1600/front%2Bentrance%2Bwith%2Bgrass.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="248" width="192" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-YJrzGTxTNgE/URlCwUTvcYI/AAAAAAAAASY/5a7OrYsfDGo/s320/front%2Bentrance%2Bwith%2Bgrass.jpg" /></a></div>
This entrance would make your little heart pound to get inside. The lovely
detail of the oversized concrete slabs framed with lush grass.
We did this technique for our patio - and the softness underfoot
is just very lush and inviting.
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-HB5sQyR1gWE/URlD4fBpDlI/AAAAAAAAASw/cxGjxyIanLg/s1600/Front%2Bdoor.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="271" width="192" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-HB5sQyR1gWE/URlD4fBpDlI/AAAAAAAAASw/cxGjxyIanLg/s320/Front%2Bdoor.jpg" /></a></div>
A check list for your front entrance of your home. In the active growing season
mow the grass often. Freshen all shubbery with fresh bark, and a little hint, if at
all possible before a showing take the garden hose and wet down your bark/mulch to make
it fresh and rich looking. You'll be surprised how nice it will look. Trim all bushes and tree limbs hanging on the roof. Make certain all debris is picked up and all dead
limbs, flowers have been removed.
Have a great day and perhaps the buyers will be back for that second look!

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The color palette has been kept neutral with the grays, silver & white rug</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
that gives the feeling of open but intimate dining space.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Remove extra leaves from the table to make the room appear larger.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Remove extra dining room chairs if they crowd the table or fill up corner of the room.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Four to six chairs are plenty.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I think this room is so inviting with the neutral colors, the glow of the dining table. What do you think?</div>

Charleston, WV. They make a fabulous Caesar salad that my husband orders each time we dine there.</div>

Let's take a look at a few gray kitchens. Which one do you prefer? As Realtors, we know Kitchen and Baths sell houses. Would these kitchens make you want to buy? </div>

Gray is a wonderful neutral that goes with anything and everything. Carrera marble - no doubt great choice.</div>

</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Glad you stopped by. Let's take a closer look into Staging and Decorating! I love to do both. Home Staging is professionally preparing homes for sale, so they appeal to the most amount of buyers and will bring the seller the highest price in the shortest amount of time on the market. You will hear me over and over again talk about how <b>Staged Home</b><b>s</b> will be a step above the competition, because they will present themselves by being clean, clutter-free, and ready to show to prospective buyers.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-_ZCEDKzFSwg/UHxwhH4ThXI/AAAAAAAAAIM/VEdhw_t0psQ/s1600/Living%2BRoom.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-_ZCEDKzFSwg/UHxwhH4ThXI/AAAAAAAAAIM/VEdhw_t0psQ/s1600/Living%2BRoom.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Home Staging</b> is not decorating, interior design or redesign. <b> Home Staging</b> is detailing, de-cluttering, and</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
depersonalizing. This makes it inviting for the Buyer who now will be able to visualize themselves in a space,</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
and that's when they start writing the purchase agreement. Notice in the living room above, the neutral colors,clean lines of the furniture, and everything in its place. The draperies are open, lights on for maximum</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
amount of light. It's open, cheery and space to walk around.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As I said earlier, I love to do both. I am fortunate enough to have a daughter, Elizabeth, who is an Interior Designer. Elizabeth also does graphic design for websites, logos, and blogs. You can find her at <a href="http://themustardceilingblog.com/" target="_blank">The Mustard Ceiling blog</a>. Elizabeth has an incredible eye for color, and my stronghold- accessories.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Together we make a pretty good team and have great success in the past with our staged properties.</div>
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-6XRIcsjdW_o/UHxxrqcbXsI/AAAAAAAAAIY/3_fy25QnfM0/s1600/large%2Bliving%2Broom%2Bwith%2Blarge%2Bfurniture.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-6XRIcsjdW_o/UHxxrqcbXsI/AAAAAAAAAIY/3_fy25QnfM0/s1600/large%2Bliving%2Broom%2Bwith%2Blarge%2Bfurniture.jpg" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The living room above is quite large and open. There is not a problem in handling the over sized sofa. The</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
problem I see today are normal size rooms with very large-scaled furniture. It smothers the room and leaves</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
very little room for walking or moving. We need to use the right scale furniture for the right size room. Even</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
in the picture above you will notice furniture is at a minimum. The focus- the beautiful view of the snow-covered mountains and the fireplace. As an Accredited Stager we know that "Clutter eats equity!"</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-iwySvkzSPLs/UHx0Fio3UuI/AAAAAAAAAIk/deDjcCaufCM/s1600/living%2Broom%2Bscaled%2Bwith%2Bfurniture.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-iwySvkzSPLs/UHx0Fio3UuI/AAAAAAAAAIk/deDjcCaufCM/s1600/living%2Broom%2Bscaled%2Bwith%2Bfurniture.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Lights, Music, Action</b>! This house is ready for the new Buyer. Because your home has been professionally Staged - it will be recognized as a<b> Staged Home</b>. More Buyers want to see these homes, increasing your visibility and showings. Turn on the lights, a little soft jazz in the background and the stage is set.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I enjoyed having you here today so we could explore the difference between Staging & Decorating. Hope</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
this has helped. Thought for the day -"de-clutter". If you take anything away from the blog today, it's the</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
importance of de-cluttering and depersonalizing.</div>
<br />
