Chic Shanties offers restyling design services to create a fresh new look for your home. We believe that your home should be a place where you find relaxation, connection and pleasure. In order to create that space, we begin by gathering information about the atmosphere you want for your home, such as an inviting living room, productive home office, romantic bedroom or spa-like bathroom. Then, by re-arranging your furniture, re-grouping art, infusing textures, accessories and lighting, we can transform your rooms into spaces that reflect your personality and lifestyle. Restyling can be accomplished in a relatively short period of time, and is very affordable and eco-friendly because we simply re-purpose your belongings! While your home is being restyled, we encourage you to spend the day away as the makeover work is carried out. Upon returning, you can experience the “wow factor”.
Chic Shanties consultation service is the place to begin. For further details on restyling please refer to our pricing guide on the right.
The Real Estate Market today is very competitive and buyers expect a home to be move-in ready. Investing in professional staging has proven to give property an edge over other comparable listings. Professionally prepared properties sell more quickly for maximum return. Staging is the art of creating an inviting home setting that evokes an emotional connection for the buyer and helps them see the potential of the home.
Chic Shanties staging service will streamline the decor, create a spacious feeling and showcase the highlights and attributes of the property. Your home will be more organized and easy to prepare for those last minute showings, there by, enhancing your day-to-day living while you are in the process of selling. Your staged home will make a lasting first impression.
Chic Shanties readies a home by staging the property with the homeowners existing furniture, artwork and accessories. If additional accents are needed, they can be acquired through our rental inventory or by purchasing within a defined budget. When a home is vacant, we will arrange for the seller to rent or purchase furnishings. Our staging redesign is planned to appeal to an extensive number of potential buyers by designing a space in which they can picture themselves living. Agents are much more comfortable marketing, promoting and showing a listing that has been staged. Because of this, staged property will be shown more often, and with confidence.

Chic Shanties is dedicated to working closely with agents to help enhance and sell your listings. Our staging services are substantially less expensive than a price reduction and can be a wonderful marketing tool, not only for the home, but for you as well.
Our professional advice will help the client view their property as a valuable product and help them disengage emotionally from their home. Tactfully and diplomatically, we can inform your client about any issues that need to be addressed such as repairs, cleanliness and clutter. This spares you any awkward moments and allows you to focus on the sale of the home.
"Chic Shanties helped my wife and I stage a house we sold in Black Butte Ranch. We were so pleased with the work they did, we hired them to decorate our new home. Vicki and Karen have great ideas for furnishings, painting, and window coverings that don't cost a fortune. We highly recommend their services."

"We thought that our home was presentable to buyers with many of our personal effects on display. When Vicki and Karen previewed our home, they listed many changes that would enhance it’s presentation.
As a result of their consultation, we de-cluttered our rooms and upgraded 2 bathrooms. This staging has brought out the strong points of our home. After these changes, we have enjoyed the less crowded conditions and wished we had discovered Vicki and Karen sooner."

"Wow! I can’t believe this is the same house. It has a more updated look and a more spacious feel. I was impressed that most of the items used were already here, just re-arranged and color coordinated."

"We were shocked to walk into our new home after a weekend away and see how literally transformed our home looked.
By arranging furniture that we already owned and displaying artwork that was brought in, our home was updated, and functionally improved in a way we never thought possible. They created a very comfortable and stylish setting.
We love what Karen and Vicki did for our home, and highly recommend Chic Shanties to anyone".
