I was staging an occupied home and one of the rooms was a guest room. So in order to add something special for the guests or should I say buyers, I added an origami towel rose and some chocolates. I sure hope the guests or should I say buyers like the origami rose. I know the homeowner and realtor loved the added touch of towels and chocolates in the guest room!

What a neat idea! Very cute- do you mind if I use it?
Hi Mannie~ So creative and clever. And anything with chocolate, has to be good!
Hi Shanna - I don't mind - origami towel folding is a great way to display towels in an interesting way. I love using it in staging as my signature prop. So go for it and have fun.
Hi Vickie - thanx for stopping by and yes I agree anything with chocolate gets my attention.
That's pretty cool...how about a yellow duck for the bathtub as well?
Great staging touch that viewers remember. You are a talented lady.
Hi Jeremy - No duck yet but do snails, elephants and swans count? :0)
Hi Sharon - thanx for stopping by and the nice compliment I appreciate it.
Mannie- what a cute idea! Don't know if I could do the origami towel rose but sure can do the chocolates (that is if they aren't eaten by the staging crew first)!
Hi Kathy - no doubt! However, a good way to lure buyers into a room!
This post reminded me of a staging I did a few years ago -- placed some nice Faux chocolates on a saucer with hot chocolate and when I went back .... the "chocolates" had bites in them!
Hi Maureen - that is too funny must have been some really good looking faux chocolates!
you do such clever things with those towels Mannie!
Thanx for stopping by Karen - I love doing it because it seems to appeal to homeowners, realtors and buyers alike. As long as it keeps a house noticed I will keep doing it.
What a neat idea, Mannie! very creative!
Thanx Birgit - I truly enjoy it. I do a new one every month.
Loved the idea! Very Creative!
Loved the idea! Very Creative!
Great idea....today I picked up a staging where I had a vase w/lid that had "red/back licorice".....had being the word! That licorice had seen many a staging and today it was empty. I laugh picturing some enjoying that very stale licorice....ENJOY!
What a lovely and memorable way to make a guest room say 'upscale hotel comfort'. I suspect buyers will remember that house!
Mannie - you're a pro with towels. That rose looks incredibly cute and one I'm sure the potential buyers will remember.
Thanx Olga!
Kathy - LOL!!!
John - throws are nice but not really memorable - maybe I can make something out of a throw! :0)
Hi Nancy - glad you stopped by hope all is well!
Hi Kathy - thanx I'm loving it and people seem to enjoy them!
Very cute idea. Thanks for sharing.
Lori - thanx for stopping by!
