Preparing an Air BnB suite. http://flowhomestaging.ca/preparing-an-air-bnb-suite/ http://flowhomestaging.ca/preparing-an-air-bnb-suite/#comments Fri, 01 Apr 2016 18:30:42 +0000 http://flowhomestaging.ca/?p=3143

Are you thinking about creating an Air BnB suite in your home? Do you own a rental property that you think would work better on Air Bnb? Do you have an Air BnB space set up, and want to maximize its potential and make it stand out in the market?

The Flow Team recently completed this bright, airy basement suite for an Air BnB host. Decorated with Vancouver-themed art and subtle local touches, it’s already drawing in visitors! A great layout and design for your suite is one thing, but adding personal touches, local information and a cute theme can also help you draw in the right kind of guest. Let the Flow Team help you decide what’s best for your suite!

To set up a consult, or to find out more information about decorating or renovating in preparation for Air BnB rentals, feel free to give the Flow Team a call or email us: 778-227-9525 – .

Staging matters! http://flowhomestaging.ca/staging-matters/ http://flowhomestaging.ca/staging-matters/#comments Wed, 23 Mar 2016 18:00:36 +0000 http://flowhomestaging.ca/?p=3124

This gorgeous Kerrisdale home needed a little decor help inside to make it really shine and stand out in the market.

Adding a few key furniture pieces and colourful decor helped this home sell in under 3 weeks! Congrats to the homeowners and Virani Real Estate group on this quick turn around!

2016 is on fire! http://flowhomestaging.ca/2016-is-on-fire/ http://flowhomestaging.ca/2016-is-on-fire/#comments Fri, 26 Feb 2016 18:30:12 +0000 http://flowhomestaging.ca/?p=3112

The Flow Team has been really busy since the beginning of the year! Staging projects are coming and going quickly, as the Vancouver housing market shows no signs of slowing down. It’s been an exciting time here in the office and we couldn’t be happier helping realtors and homeowners in their successes!

These three vastly different homes were listed at around the same time: a sleek condo in Marpole, a recreated Commercial Drive Victorian, and a cozy character home in North Vancouver. What they had in common was that all of them had distinct styles and needs that provided fun challenges to the Flow Team – they also all sold in less than 30 days! The market really is booming – home staging can help your listing stand out among the crowd when there are many properties to choose from.

If you’re curious about home staging, feel free to drop us a line! You can email or call the office at 778-227-9525. And you can follow us on social media for tips and news on interior design and decor trends!

This subtle mixture of grey tones with hints of blue is a perfect colour palette for this little downtown condo. The lucite chairs in the patio dining area show off the urban views beautifully! Great job on this cute staging, Chelsea and Elisa!

If you’re curious about how home staging works, or thinking of listing a property and want more information, please feel free to contact the Flow Team. Call us at 778-227-9525 or email – you can also follow us on social media for decor and design tips!

Congratulations to realtor Alex Wong from Engel and Volkers on the sale of this split-level home in Port Coquitlam!

This great family home in the Birchland Manor neighbourhood of Port Coquitlam sold in a flash: only 4 days on the market and with a selling price of $110,000 over asking! Wow!

False Creek stunner http://flowhomestaging.ca/false-creek-stunner/ http://flowhomestaging.ca/false-creek-stunner/#comments Thu, 07 Jan 2016 18:30:44 +0000 http://flowhomestaging.ca/?p=3079

This fantastic False Creek condo sold over the holiday break and we couldn’t be happier for realtor Naz Allahyari and her clients!

The real estate market can often go into a lull over Christmas and New Year so it’s been exciting for the Flow Team to have been involved in two quick December sales back to back. This particular unit sold in 8 days, and for $21,200 over the asking price! What a great way to ring in 2016.

The season of giving http://flowhomestaging.ca/the-season-of-giving/ http://flowhomestaging.ca/the-season-of-giving/#comments Sat, 19 Dec 2015 18:30:02 +0000 http://flowhomestaging.ca/?p=3064

As many of you know, Flow is a proud partner to Mom2Mom, a Vancouver charitable organization supporting and helping families living in poverty. Please take a moment to read this email sent to us by Mom2Mom’s executive director, Melinda Markey, and considering giving a monetary donation to this fantastic charity. The Flow Team is also accepting donations of gently used furniture to help these families feel comfortable in a welcoming environment when they get home after a long day.

Dear Friends and Mom2Mom Supporters,

At Mom2Mom, we support mothers to believe that anything is possible – for them and for their kids. Over the past year we have doubled in size, with 86 individuals benefitting from caring connections with volunteer moms! Through generous support from inspired community members we were able to implement the M2M Cooks! program, fund over 350 local grocery trips, secure scholarships and support workforce participation for moms, offset the cost of arts, culture and sports programming for kids in the community, connect families to basic needs services – and perhaps most important – offer unconditional friendship and connection throughout the year and into the holiday season.

For many families in BC, a “happy holiday” is merely a dream. The realities of poverty make it difficult for families to find enough food, to have the means to participate in local activities and to engage with friends, family or community. Last month, First Call released a report stating that 1 in 5 children in BC are living in poverty – that’s 167,810 poor children, enough to fill Disneyland four times. This number has not changed for over 19 years! Child poverty in BC includes all family types, but it’s worse for children of single parents: 1 in every 2 BC children of single parents live in poverty – as a result, many children do not have secure food or housing.

Circumstances like these make it hard for moms like Emily, a teenager herself, to meet basic needs and create opportunities for her little one. While trying to complete high school, she has little time free to find resources in the community, to save money for Christmas or to connect with other moms. Thanks to Emily’s relationship with Mom2Mom volunteers and to generous support from the community, we were recently able to give her family a holiday hamper that fulfilled Emily’s wish for Christmas – to be able to provide for her child, reduce stress and create a hope and joy-filled home environment.

“Mom2Mom has been a continuous and much appreciated support for me. Being a teenager in school with a 14-month-old daughter leaves little time and opportunity to save money for Christmas. My little bookworm has been reading all day thanks to all the great books she received from Mom2Mom. She also received new warm clothing for winter and a pair of running shoes and was so proud to be walking around in them, pointing to her feet and shrieking, she didn’t want to take them off. There’s a great joy in seeing my child walk around with pride, in seeing her excitement over new books… My mind is at peace and I am completely over-joyed with the acts of selflessness that knocked on my door earlier today.”

With the holiday season in full swing, many of us are hustling around trying to ensure we check everyone off our holiday list. Why not consider a gift to a Mom2Mom family? Our monthly giving option will provide a family like Emily’s with the certainty that some of their basic needs will be met each month and that they will not be alone in their struggle to nurture their children.

Your contribution today will help moms like Emily in the following ways:

GIVE $20 A MONTH = GIVE COMFORT: Your donation will support two families to supplement their monthly groceries, offering moms more choices for healthy, enjoyable food that will ensure their kids are well-fed and ready to learn.

GIVE $90 A MONTH = GIVE MOBILITY & ACCESS TO OPPORTUNITY: Your donation will fund a monthly bus pass. This transportation will allow a woman to get to and from a semester of school, arrive at a practicum placement, attend appointments – a ride that can mean the world when choosing between public transportation and a meal.

GIVE $150 A MONTH = GIVE TRANSFORMATION: Your donation will connect a family with two caring volunteer mentors who will offer one-to-one support to end isolation and help women cope with the practical and emotional challenges of poverty.

Even if you are not able to commit to making a monthly donation, a one-time gift to Mom2Mom families will still significantly enrich their lives in 2016.

CLICK HERE TO GIVE TO MOM2MOM

Thank you for being a part of the Mom2Mom community, thank you for being the village.

Wishing you peace and connection,

Melinda + The M2M Crew
