It’s been busy over here at Backdrop so we haven’t been posting as many of our new projects as I generally like to, but this was a fun one that we worked on last week.  The black and white in the bedroom was really fresh and summery, but with the bright pops of green, it will look good into the fall.  ( If you click on the photos once it will enlarge them and then click again to close.)              

I’m loving this iconic molded plywood lounge chair designed by Eames (1946)

 that won best design of the 20th century from Time magazine (a steam locomotive got runner up).  Inspired with the wartime technology of molded plywood, Ray and Charles created this brilliant chair that combines comfort, beauty, and elegance with a synergy that is hard to match.    I was happy to add pair of them in a walnut veneer to the Backdrop furniture options and it was really fun to use them recently in a Mid Century modern staging project.

This was a great condo to work on, the owners had recently finished updating the space.  We kept the furnishing light and bright with a touch of nautical. It did the trick, Margaret Nordahl of Windermere sold the listing quickly for full price.  Listing #29143827

 I used Backdrop Staging to set the tone for my luxury urban rental unit.  Maren was able to stage my rental to perfection and made my unit stand out among all the other similar units resulting in immediate occupancy.  I believe in this difficult rental market when tenants have so many choices, staging will become even more important.  I would not hesitate to recommend backdrop staging for any staging needs.  -Suzi Puckett, Washington Square tower 1, Bellevue
