Your Space....Home Staging
It's time to sell your home and you need a competitive edge in this tough real estate market. You want to sell quickly and for full value. Home staging can be just the edge you need to help achieve those goals. You know that old saying, "You only get one chance to make a good first impression"? When a potential buyer walks into your home for the first time, your home needs to be at it's absolute best so they don't turn around and walk out. You wouldn't interview for a job in shorts and a t-shirt, so don't let your home go on the market underdressed either.
Services Offered:
Your Space.....Interior Decorated or Interior Designed
Ok, so you're looking for the whole enchilada. You want new a paint color, new window treatments, new flooring, new cabinets, new tile, new furniture or a mix of getting some new things and keeping some old things? A redecorating project doesn't have to break the bank either. At Your Space, we pride ourselves on being able to work within large budgets, small budgets, whatever budgets to create a space that rocks. Aggressive shopping can make a transformation fit within almost any budget, so don't think you have to be richy-rich to get a designer feel!
Your Space.....At the Office
Interior decorating doesn't apply to just residential properties. If you own a commercial property or are a business and your common areas, bathrooms and welcome areas aren't what they should be, then why not?! After all, how your property or office "presents" is part of your marketing and a reflection of your business. Is your property or business saying, "We're professional, polished and pulled together"? Or is it saying, "Who am I and when's lunch?"
Your Space.....Redesigned
Your furnishings, your accessories, your personality with a new eye toward professional design. Certified redesign uses what you already have to bring new life to your home. It will make you love your stuff again! No painting, no shopping, no worries! Its also the quickest and least intrusive way to make a big change in your space.
Your Space.....Home Staged
Using elements from both interior redesign and interior decorating, home staging actually neutralizes your home so it has a greater and longer lasting impression with buyers and realtors. Staging presents your home in its best light to minimize the time your home sits on the market and creates value to maximize your selling price. Staging allows potential buyers to see how they could live in the home and therefore, more apt to consider making an offer. Remember, typical buyers will see the house as it is, not as it could be (when they move in!).
"Your Space by Nina consulted and advised my client on how to best showcase and stage their home for a quick, full-value sale. An offer was made in two days! That never would have happened without the help of Your Space by Nina! I will use Nina again and would definitely recommend her as an expert on staging."
-Ashley West/Real Estate Sales & Consulting
Remax Alliance
"Your Space by Nina took a 3900sf "second home" beachfront home, that while it was in wonderful shape, wasn't presented as well as a home should be that is going on the market for $1million. Nina and her team created beautiful and functional spaces that made it very easy to show and market. When I need staging again, she'll be the first person I'll call and I'd highly recommend Your Space by Nina to anyone desiring staging."
-Fred Helm/Associate Broker
Prudential Towne Realty
"Nina has come into my home on several occasions and provided guidance on color, placement of furniture, and wall hangings and provided creative ideas and inspiration to make my rooms better for me."
-MaryAnn, Chesapeake
"Nina has it - a natural talent to create a functional and inviting space. You either have it or you dont and she does."
-Kathy, Richmond
"I manage a professional office building that I was having trouble leasing available space. I thought it might be because of lackluster common areas. Nina provided a plan and design to improve the appearance and attractiveness of those areas and create a perceived value for potential tenants. It was a successful, simple solution and not as expensive as I thought it would be. "
-Jimmy Resolute/Commercial Leasing and Sales
Riddle Associates
"Showings on a residential house I had listed were minimal for about eight weeks. After being staged by Your Space, showings immediately increased by 75% and an offer was submitted within 10 days. Staging by Your Space truly made all the difference."

"About Us/Me"? Well, skipping over the boring stuff...as life sometimes happens, I ended up graduating college with a degree in Business Administration focused in finance. I'd been in retail sales for years, but my first post-college real job was in the corporate office of a bulk candy franchise where part of my job was to teach others how to put together gift baskets and retail display. Come to think of it, so many of my best experiences up to that point revolved around "presentation"....retail displays, set design for theater, etc. At any rate, after leaving there, I spent the next 15 years as a top-selling media sales executive and eventually into sales management. Along the way and because I had a knack, I began to educate myself in the discipline of interior design, decorating and staging. I would work on spaces of friends and family as my hobby and loved every minute of it! At one point, I was able to complete instruction and become certified in Redesign and Home Staging through the National Redesign Institute.
What I've come to learn about interior design and decorating is that it is another form of art expression, although, yes, there are rules and regs that guide creative decisions for a space. I can't draw, sing, or beat my sister at ANY video game, but I do know what makes a room make sense and how to create a sense of balance, function, comfort and beauty. Apply that with my practical experience in tiling, laying floors, painting, etc. and you've got yourself one heck of a hard working, self-taught, can-do former media executive turned designer. Who knew?!
