A new-to-me realtor calls Tuesday mid-day asking about my services. The phone call quickly turned into a 'yes' but I mentioned unless I do this 'tomorrow', it couldn't get done until next week Tuesday or Wednesday due to other obligations. It's in Cayucos, which poses another issue - do I make the trip up to preview (it's an hour away, do I have time), or can I get what I need off of the internet? AND we had rain to contend with... it's never easy to stage in the rain. Fortunately I'm a very spatially-minded person and could make my plans based on the existing internet photos. A girl needs her plans! So Wednesday, between the spurts of rain, my sons and I spend all morning packing for this stage, and Wednesday afternoon / into evening my sons and I head out, unload, and stage this beautiful.... no..... GORGEOUS home ON THE WATER in Cayucos. WOW!!! The boys told me upon arrival: 'We should buy this!' I'm thinking the same thing! So, in retrospect, this stage was a vacant, sight-unseen home, and within about 24 hours went from realtor request to stage-done status. Please forgive the darkness of the photos, it was 6:30 at night when we were done, it was dark!

This one-of-a-kind abstract, mixed media artwork by critically acclaimed artist, Noel Kassewitz, is ready to hang. Quiet Gravitation is the piece that inspired the artist’s series, "They say hope floats, but I’d rather be sure", through which she hopes to increase awareness about rising sea levels. The value of Kassewitz’s work is supported by its exhibition at international galleries and its inclusion in institutional collections, including the University of Maryland. This work is acrylic on hand-woven canvas with a found buoy and net floats and is framed. Its dimensions, framed, are 26 ¾” x 21” (68cm x 53.3cm). While shown portrait here, the work can also be displayed landscape. In addition, we can facilitate custom framing to complement any interior. This original and unique artwork is delivered with a certificate of authenticity and a bio of the artist.

Rewired and painted some old light fixtures to give them that "Art Deco" look. Wire is braided cloth but modern and safer than trying to use the original conductors.

Walls were rebuilt and panels of Granicrete were installed to the ceiling to keep moisture away from the wall structure. The panels are custom colored to look like carribian waters. The panels are not cold to the touch, like stone is. Photos by John R

We freshened up the look of this home to reflect the style of the new homeowners. Taking our cues from the water, we used all shades of blues to play off of the tranquility of the spectacular lake views. And, we used graphic patterns to infuse pops of energy in the tile, stair runner, and artwork. Photos done by Ryan Hainey Photography, LLC.
