In my weekly blog on Active Rain, I share "Tips of the Trade" with Realtors, homeowners and other stagers. Below are some of the photos used to illustrate one of my many tips, repeat, repeat, repeat! Here is a link to the blogpost I wrote.

Do you see how the stripe in the bedding repeats the very subtle "stripe" of the balustrade in the painting? Can you see the several ways that the metal art and metal vase repeat each other in color, shape, and pattern? The flowers are a bonus! Lastly, what a lucky find in the metal art vase with olive branches that repeat the vining flowers and vases in the stained glass windows!
