The Greater Sandpoint Chamber of Commerce is
excited to welcome Cathy Gibson Home Staging. After spending 28 years as a physical
therapist and doing remodels on the side, Cathy received certifications as a Certified
Staging Specialist (CSS) and a True Color Expert. Cathy has been in business
for 2 years and provides home staging, color consultation and redesign for the
Sandpoint area.
Home staging means to put the very best face
on a house before or when it is listed for sale. Each home and situation is
different, which can mean anything from painting the front door to decluttering
rooms and removing and re-arranging furniture to moving and re-hanging
art.
“I often do a consultation and provide the
homeowner with a detailed priority list, and other times I do some or the
entire list for the owner,” explained Cathy. “I also have collected quite a
supply of staging accessories, and can use them to add to what the owner has to
help make a home look fresh.”
If you have
questions like “what color furniture should I buy?”, “what color should I
select for my floors, countertops, backsplash, sink, cabinets?”, “what paint color do I choose if I want to
use just one?”, or “if I want to have green walls and white trim, which
fireplace stone should I choose?” Cathy is your go-to contact. The color
consulting part of Cathy’s business has expanded from specifying interior and
exterior paint colors to assisting clients with all things color related.
“A renovation
always includes a long list of color choices, each one affecting the next, and
I love helping people navigate through that,” said Cathy.
Redesign is
“home staging” for when you are staying!
“Many times
people have rooms that aren’t being used because they aren’t comfortable, or
they are downsizing, or they want a new look and need advice regarding what to
get rid of, what to re-use, what to buy, and how to arrange it all. Again,
sometimes that means just a consultation and other times I spend half a day
with the client and get it all done.”
If you’re
thinking of selling, repainting, building, remodeling, renovating or need a
hand creating a room or rooms that will make you happy, Cathy is excited to
meet you and loves meeting clients at their home.
“I think it is
often thought that it is extravagant and expensive to get help from an expert
when it comes to staging, color and design- but it is amazing how many decisions
can be made and problems solved in just a few hours.”
