Tips To Stage Your Home Before You List It On The Market:

Today I’m super excited to have Alyssa Rosenheck here on the blog sharing some great tips for staging your home.

Whether you’re planning on listing it or just want it to look it’s best, Alyssa knows all the tricks. If her name sounds familiar, it might be because I’ve featured her gorgeous interior photography here several time! (Most recently here.)

Here’s Alyssa!

As a leading interiors and architectural photographer and stylist, I know the ins and outs of what it takes for a space to capture attention—whether in a magazine or on the market.

In between finishing my first book, The New Southern… I’m traveling nationally, from week to week, styling and photographing homes for top designers, celebrities, and architects.

It’s through this experience that I’ve mastered the art of styling and now I’m here to share my top 5 styling tips to ensure a strong return when listing your home.

While shooting, my goal is to provoke stillness in a world that rarely slows down.

I like to allow every viewer to pause and connect. It’s within these four walls that our most important work takes place.

Within this foundation our dreams, passions, creativity, rest and renewal are set into motion.

My tips will help set the tone for another family to visualize themselves within your home while leaving them with a fresh, new beginning.

No matter how big or small, the sale of an item is an emotional experience…let’s set out to create a space that levels up traditional staging while welcoming its newfound owners to fill each room with warmth and love.

Local to this area of southern Connecticut, Fiona Leonard Interiors is this month’s style stalk.

Fiona has a great sense of what her client’s needs and wants are. Beautiful, elegant interiors  which are still very family friendly are clearly Fiona’s wheelhouse.

Favorite Summer Dresses: 7 Great Finds!

Based on the popularity of last year’s post on summer dresses (which really surprised me!) I’ve decided to do a new round up of some of the beautiful, summery dresses I’ve been finding… and in most cases, buying!

I’ve drilled down even more on the exact type of dresses I tend to prefer. My top style requirements are still mid or midi length, not too frilly and very bra friendly. One more type of dress I’ve just recently added to this list is the faux wrap style.

Unlike actual wrap dresses, the faux wrap dress stays shut. When I wear a wrap dress, I always feel like I need to readjust the entire thing, over and over – for fear of exposing too much leg or cleavage. Is this just me?

Since I tend to do most of my clothes shopping online (just to save time) it helps so much to have an idea of what works best ahead of time. I find these styles and silhouettes to be the most flattering and equally important to me, the most comfortable.

Anyway, hope you enjoy my  summer dress favorites!
