In recent years, the trend of bringing the bar experience into the home has gained immense popularity. Whether you’re a coffee connoisseur or a mixology enthusiast, creating a dedicated space for your favorite beverages adds a touch of sophistication and comfort to your home. In this blog post, we’ll explore creative ideas for designing and crafting your own coffee or cocktail bar, with a focus on off-the-shelf options and solutions for small spaces.
Off-the-Shelf Solutions
One of the easiest ways to kickstart your home bar project is by exploring ready-made options. Many furniture and décor stores offer pre-designed bar carts, cabinets, and shelving units that cater to various styles and preferences. Look for materials that complement your home décor, such as wood, metal, or glass.
Consider bar carts with wheels for flexibility and easy mobility, especially if your space does double duty, i.e. a living room and dining area combo. You can even roll it outside for al fresco libations!
Small Space Solutions
Limited square footage doesn’t mean you have to compromise on style or functionality, thanks to readily available space-saving furniture and clever storage solutions. Wall-mounted shelves, fold-down tables, and compact bar cabinets can make the most of every inch. Consider multi-functional furniture that can serve as both a storage and a serving area, ensuring your small home bar is practical and visually appealing. A corner cabinet can double as a bar anywhere you have an awkward corner to fill.
Caffeine Corner
For coffee enthusiasts, a dedicated coffee bar can transform your mornings. Choose a cozy corner in your kitchen or any living space (primary bedroom is a great choice) and set up a coffee station with your favorite brewing equipment. You can even tuck a 2.5 gallon water jug with a dispenser (available at most grocery stores) into the cabinet if you don’t have a handy water source nearby.
Display coffee beans in stylish containers, hang mugs on hooks, and personalize your space with artwork or signs that reflect your love of all things coffee.
Shaken or Stirred?
For those who enjoy a well-crafted libation, a dedicated cocktail bar can be a game-changer.
From niche-sized bars to fully-dedicated rooms, the sky (and your budget) is the limit.
This small space bar uses home-improvement store cabinetry and appliances accented with a mirrored backsplash to visually enlarge the space and display barware. This is a great option if you collect vintage barware, like we do!
If the bar is in a carpeted area, a pretty, washable throw rug will protect against spills and stains.

And if you’re really serious about a home bar, well, we can dream, right?
Be the Toast of the Town!
Designing and creating a coffee or cocktail bar in your home is a rewarding project that allows you to showcase your personal style and elevate your entertaining experience. With off-the-shelf options, clever small space solutions, and a touch of creativity, you can transform any corner of your home into a stylish and functional oasis for enjoying your favorite beverages.
And if you’re craving something a little “extra”, our design team is always here to help you with custom solutions from basic to luxe. Whether you’re thinking of nook or an entire room worthy of a of a trendy craft cocktail venue, just give us a call!

Meet Kevin McClellan, a St. Clair Shores Flipping Pro.
We’ve had the privilege and honor of working with Kevin McClellan on multiple properties over the last few months. Kevin, a resident of St. Clair Shores, has been in the flipping business for over 14 years! He’s one of our most loyal customers, and you’ll see his projects in Grosse Pointe, St. Clair Shores, Sterling Heights, and beyond.
Recently, Tina Stratton, Business Development Manager of Impact Home Staging Experts, had the opportunity to sit down with Kevin and chat one-on-one to learn more about his business. While we work with many realtors and investors, Kevin stands out for a few reasons: his eye for detail, his reputation, and his passion for building a brand that outshines the competition.
In this article, you’ll get a glimpse into Kevin’s world of flipping houses. You’ll read about his insights, trials, and tribulations, and you’ll learn what makes him such a successful investor.
Dive into Kevin’s flipping journey with this insightful Q&A!
Before, Sterling Heights
After, Sterling Heights
From Cash Flow to Flips:
Give us a little insight into how you started flipping? How long have you been doing this?
Kevin McClellan wasn’t always a flipping pro. “I started with my first four rental properties in 2010, but to expand my portfolio, I needed to be a cash buyer,” he told us. That’s when he saw the potential in flipping houses, the “biggest asset” people own, and decided to take this route that started it all. “I came to figure out that ‘only the first one hurts, so you just have to GO for it!” He added that waiting for perfection can stall progress.
Vision with Experience:
When you acquire a property, where does your “vision” for the final product stem from?
“It’s not really magic; it comes from experience and countless walk-throughs,” said McClellan. He doesn’t dive in blindly; three physical visits allow him to assess the property’s potential and make informed decisions about layout and design.
Taming the Flip Frenzy:
You seem to run a tight ship. When we come to your flips, they are clean (we can’t say that for all investors!) – what is your strategy for madness and keeping everything on track?
Keeping flip projects organized and efficient can be a challenge, he admits. Kevin’s secret weapon? An in-house team dedicated solely to his properties. This tight control minimizes the need for subcontractors, a major key to his success.
IMPACTful Partnership
We’ve been working with you for a few months, what can you say about us that has changed/added value to your business model? Why do you like working with us? Why would you recommend us?
Kevin credits Impact Home Staging with giving him a competitive edge. There was a time that he thought staging would clutter the home, but he found that with the right staging, he was wrong. “Impact’s staging transforms empty shells into warm, inviting homes, giving buyers a dream to live in.” He appreciates their responsiveness to his preferences and their professional approach. “I like that Impact listens to me as a client, if I say I hate brown and yellow colors in a home, then they don’t put any in there! The communication is impeccable, Impact is run like a top-level business.”

Staging: Investment, Not Expense
So many people say, “staging is expensive.” Can you us your thoughts on this, specifically as it relates to ROI? Is it really that expensive if you look at it as an investment vs expense?
Kevin said the “staging is expensive” argument doesn’t hold water for him. He’s seen firsthand how staging consistently attracts buyers and increases profits. “They get excited to make an offer on a home that has been professionally designed with people who pick out the right colors and furniture for their future home.”
We sometimes hear “Isn’t staging just expensive fluff?” Far from it. Take it from Kevin, who’s partnered with Impact Home Staging on numerous projects. “It’s an investment that pays off, big time.”

Learning from Losses
Give us a nightmare story that sticks out to you. Something funny, or weird?
Not every flip is a fairytale, he admits. The routine of smaller projects left him yearning for a chance to tackle something more complex and impactful. Kevin’s cautionary tale involves an 8,000-square-foot monster that tempted him to stray from his usual approach. He took bad advice on “restoration” instead of “renovation,” leading to his biggest loss. But even setbacks provide valuable lessons, and Kevin has used that experience to make smarter choices ever since. “It wasn’t the outcome I dreamed of, but the knowledge gained was worth its weight in gold. I haven’t replicated that loss since, and I can attribute that to the wisdom acquired,” said Kevin.
2024 Goals: Amplify the Hustle:
What is one thing you are making an absolute priority for in 2024?
Kevin’s focus for 2024 is clear: amplifying his marketing and social media presence. While organic leads from friends, family, and realtors are great, he knows staying top-of-mind is crucial and building your network is key. We agree!
Advice for New Flippers:
What would you say to a newbie in the industry? For newbies, Kevin offers the following reality check. “Be realistic about profits and the hard work involved.” The good news? “As you gain experience and refine your process, the deals and rewards get better: the deals, the process, and the people.” Great advice.
Our first stage with McClellan, Grosse Pointe Woods
WHY STAGE? Kevin’s Top Four Reasons
1. Competitive Edge: In an unstable market, staged homes stand out. They give buyers an emotional connection, transforming empty spaces into warm, inviting homes. This emotional pull sets me apart from competitors who skip this crucial step.
2. Doubling Down on ROI: Let’s talk numbers. While the magic formula for exact return is elusive, my experience flipping 20 houses a year speaks volumes. I see a potential 2-3x return on my staging investment. In simpler terms, a $3,000 staging could translate to a $10,000 bump in the selling price. That’s hard to ignore!
3. Selling the Dream: Most buyers lack design expertise. They struggle to envision the potential of an empty space. Staging bridges that gap. It showcases the possibilities, igniting their desire to own the home they see beautifully furnished and styled.
4. A Partnership that Delivers: Beyond the financial gains, I value Impact’s professionalism. They truly listen to their clients. If I dislike certain colors, they don’t force them in. Their communication is seamless, and they run a tight ship, just like I do.
Investment in Success Staging isn’t just about aesthetics; it’s a strategic investment that fuels the real estate business. It attracts buyers, maximizes profits, and ultimately helps people like Kevin achieve flippin’ goals. If you’re on the fence, take it from someone who’s seen the results firsthand – staging is more than worth it. It’s the key to unlocking the property’s true potential.
This is just a glimpse into Kevin McClellan’s flipping journey. There’s always more to learn and share. We truly enjoyed talking with Kevin, it feels good to know adding value to his vision in the Real Estate Industry is appreciated.

Embarking on the journey of selling your home can be both exciting and overwhelming. At Impact Home Staging Experts, we understand the importance of making a stellar first impression to potential buyers. Our consultation service is designed to guide our customers through the process of preparing their home for sale to ensure it shines in the best possible light. Let’s take a closer look at what clients can expect during our consultation.
Our Process
Every home seller is unique, so we begin by getting some key information about our clients to provide the most useful information to help them prepare their home for sale. Our primary goal is to understand the client’s goals, timeframe, and any other information pertinent to the upcoming move. Does the homeowner plan to sell or donate some furniture prior to moving? Will they be living in the home during the sales process? Will there be time to paint (if necessary) or make larger home improvements that we might suggest? All of this “intel” helps us better formulate a workable plan that suits the customer’s specific needs and situation.
Staging is not “decorating”, and we help sellers understand this distinction. Decorating is very personal based on specific likes and personal tastes. Since taste is very personal, what one person likes may not appeal to the potential buyer. This can strongly influence whether a buyer makes an offer or walks away.
Our goal is for a buyer to see the listed property as their future home. Our aim is to transform the home in a way that will appeal to (and make an emotional connection with) the largest pool of home buyers. We make sure sellers know that nothing we say is personal; our knowledge comes from 20 years of experience and putting it to work for you will help you sell FASTER and for MORE MONEY!
Whole-House Walkthrough
Our next step is a quick, high-level overview of your entire house that allows us to capture first impressions and note potential areas of improvement. We encourage you to grab a notepad and pen while we perform this quick walkthrough, which is aimed at gaining an understanding of what we have to work with. During this time, we will take “before” pictures as needed to document the current state.
Consultation and Discussion
Now the heart of the consultation unfolds. We always start with the exterior and curb appeal, underscoring the significance of this as the first impression. Moving through the home with a “buyer’s eye,” we discuss the importance of key spaces such as kitchens, bathrooms, foyers, and living rooms.
The consultation involves selecting and tagging items to stay in each space, potentially creating diagrams for layout. We might discuss recommended paint colors or minor repairs that are needed. We also consider things like a room’s “flow” (is it too crowded?), the amount of natural light, and whether each room has a dedication function. An example might be making sure a dining room is staged as a dining room even if it’s currently a child’s play area. An integral part of the consultation addresses potential deal-breakers, such as odors, clutter, pet hair or damage, and any necessary repairs.
While this is primarily a “walk and talk”, we can offer minor hands-on help if needed, such as moving art or small items. If key rooms are empty or require additional furnishings, we discuss supplemental staging, offering to send a quote for the client to review.
The Deliverable
At the end of the 1.5-hour consultation, you can expect a summary of the top five to ten priorities and how to address them. Our aim is not only to enhance the appeal of your home but also to equip you with valuable insights into the selling process. With Impact Home Staging Experts, your journey to a successful home sale begins with a thoughtful and comprehensive consultation.

We were so honored to have been chosen by Cranbrook Custom Homes to provide model home decorating and staging of this stunning 6300 square foot model/spec home in Bingham Farms, Michigan. Our team’s eye for design and our high standards for quality really shine in this exquisite dwelling and we couldn’t be happier with the outcome! Read on to learn more about how we approached this project.
A Smarter Approach to Model Home Marketing
Interior Design on a high-end model home requires a sophisticated eye and furnishings and décor that mirror the quality of the finishes throughout the home. No other staging company in the area can offer a model home service that meets that criteria while creating budgetary efficiencies for the builder.
Luxury Homes Deserve Unique and Custom Materials
Projects like this one allow us to work with pieces from our extensive inventory, augmented with items purchased specifically for this installation. Since we wanted upmarket materials appropriate for a dwelling of this caliber, we were able to use our best custom furniture vendors to create a richly-appointed, high-end installment that would rival any luxury model home design.
This model home “stage” featured bespoke, one-of-a-kind natural wood tables from Live Edge Artisans in Royal Oak. Custom upholstered pieces added elegance, and our creative and sophisticated décor selections included several special-order, oversized art and accessories in keeping with the scale of the space. Our talented staging team brought it all together and the results, well, they speak for themselves!
Our Process
The services we provided for this project started with an in-depth consultation with the builder to understand their vision for the property. Next we created style boards to confirm our recommended décor styling direction and to ensure the custom pieces we selected aligned with the client’s vision for this property. Once our proposed budget was approved, we coordinated and managed the selection and purchasing of the content. Finally, our logistics, design and staging teams went to work on a seamless and timely installation.
The Impact Edge for Builders
Unlike traditional model home design, our clients do not absorb the cost of purchasing what is required for the installation. Any furniture, décor and art we have purchased will be brought back to one of our warehouses to be made available for other projects in the future. Because the builder does not assume the cost of procuring these materials, it represents a significant cost savings versus traditional interior design. The result is a stunning show house for a fraction of using a designer and purchasing the furniture and décor.

Selling a home during the holidays can be challenging due to the festive distractions and the potential for inclement weather here in Michigan. However, with the right strategy, you can make your home stand out and appeal to potential buyers. Here are some tips from our staging professionals for staging and selling a home during the holidays:
Keep decorations tasteful: Decorate your home, but avoid going overboard with holiday decorations. Opt for a neutral and elegant theme that appeals to a wide range of buyers. Choose colors that complement your décor, and be judicious when choosing very religious or personal decorations.
Enhance curb appeal: Winter can be tough on your home’s exterior. Make sure your driveway and walkways are clear of snow and ice, and keep the yard well-maintained. Consider adding some outdoor holiday lights to create a warm and welcoming atmosphere.
Create a cozy ambiance: Highlight the cozy and inviting aspects of your home. Use soft throws, warm lighting, and scented candles to make your space feel inviting and comfortable. A crackling fire in the fireplace, if you have one, can add to the ambiance.
Let in the Light: Winter’s weaker sunlight and shorter days can make a home feel gloomy. Be sure to open drapes (or even consider removing them) to allow in plenty of natural light, and increase the wattage in your lamps, where appropriate.
Highlight winter features: Emphasize the advantages of your home during the winter months. If you have energy-efficient windows, a heated garage, or a well-insulated attic, make sure to mention these selling points in your listing and during showings.
Professionally stage your home: The holidays are busy enough without adding a home sale to the list. Our staging professionals can get your home photo- and showing-ready in just a day or two, with minimal disruption to your life during this hectic time.
Selling a home during the holidays can be a rewarding experience with the right approach. By creating a warm and inviting atmosphere with professional staging and a skilled real estate agent, you can increase your chances of selling your home quickly and at a favorable price, even during the hectic holiday season!

Professional staging is a proven marketing tool that maximizes a property’s appeal and makes an emotional connection with potential buyers. In recent years, virtual home staging has gained popularity as an alternative to traditional live staging, and while it has its merits, live home staging still reigns supreme in the real estate market. Here’s what agents and home sellers need to know about “live” home staging vs. virtual.
Authenticity and Realism
One of the most significant advantages of live home staging is its authenticity and realism. In a live staging scenario, professional stagers bring in real furniture, décor, and accessories to transform a vacant property into a warm and inviting home. This tangible experience allows potential buyers to walk through the space, touch the furniture, and visualize themselves living there. The physical presence of furniture from Impact’s inventory creates a genuine and emotional connection that virtual staging simply cannot replicate.
Emotional Engagement
Home buying is an emotional process, and live home staging taps into those emotions more effectively than virtual staging. When buyers walk into Impact Home Staging Experts live-staged home, they can experience the cozy ambiance, imagine family gatherings, or envision themselves relaxing in the living room. These emotional connections are powerful drivers that can lead to quicker decisions and potentially higher offers. Virtual staging, on the other hand, may feel cold and disconnected as it relies on digitally manipulated images and creates disappointment when the potential buyer finally enters a vacant home.
Flexibility and Adaptability
Live home staging offers flexibility and adaptability that virtual staging cannot match. In a live setting, the professional stagers at Impact HSE can make real-time adjustments based on buyer feedback or changing market trends. They can easily rearrange furniture, swap out décor items, or update color schemes to better suit the preferences of potential buyers. This flexibility ensures that the property remains appealing to a broader range of individuals.
Personalization
Every home is unique, and live staging allows for a personalized touch that virtual staging cannot replicate. Professional stagers take into consideration the architectural features, layout, and style of the property when selecting furniture and décor. This attention to detail ensures that the staging enhances the property’s best features and complements its overall design. Virtual staging templates, while customizable to some extent, often lack the personalization necessary to highlight a property’s unique characteristics effectively.
Building Trust
In the real estate market, trust is essential. Live home staging fosters trust between buyers and sellers because it presents the property in its true state, without any digital enhancements or misrepresentations. Buyers can trust that what they see in a live-staged home is what they will get if they decide to purchase it. In contrast, virtual staging may create skepticism as buyers wonder if the property lives up to the digitally altered images.
A Human Touch
The staging professionals at Impact Home Staging Experts take the time to get to know our clients and work closely with them to stage their home appropriately for the market and the community. Virtual staging is impersonal in comparison to how we approach our staging projects.
We Believe in Keeping it Real
While virtual home staging has its merits in terms of cost and convenience, it cannot replace the authenticity, emotional engagement, flexibility, personalization, and trust-building attributes of live home staging. When it comes to making a lasting impression on potential buyers and maximizing the value of a property, live home staging remains the gold standard in the real estate industry. So, if you’re looking to sell your home and make a lasting impression, call us to find out how we can help present your home in the most powerful way possible, for a fast and profitable sale.

In a fast-paced world filled with constant distractions and demands, finding moments of peace and tranquility is essential for our well-being. One way to achieve this is by incorporating the Danish concept of “hygge” into your home. Pronounced “hoo-gah,” hygge is all about creating a warm, cozy, and inviting atmosphere that fosters relaxation and contentment. In this blog post, we’ll explore the art of bringing hygge into your home and how it can enhance your everyday life.
Warm Lighting
One of the foundational elements of hygge is lighting. Create a cozy ambiance by using soft, warm lighting sources. Swap out harsh overhead lights for soft, dimmable lamps, candles, or fairy lights. The gentle glow of these light sources not only sets the mood but also helps reduce stress and promote relaxation.
Comfortable Textiles
Hygge is all about comfort, and that means surrounding yourself with soft and inviting textiles. Invest in plush blankets, fluffy pillows, and comfortable throws. Opt for natural materials like wool, cotton, and linen, as they not only feel luxurious but also contribute to a calming atmosphere
Cozy Nooks
Create cozy nooks or corners where you can retreat and unwind. A comfortable reading chair by a window, a soft rug, and a small table for your favorite hot beverage can make for the perfect hygge hideaway. These spaces encourage you to slow down and enjoy the present moment.
Minimalism with a Personal Touch
While minimalism is often associated with decluttering and simplicity, Hygge’s Danish design roots mean it can also be a key component of this look. Streamline your living spaces by decluttering and getting rid of unnecessary items. However, don’t go overboard – remember to keep personal touches, such as cherished photographs or artwork, to make your home feel warm and inviting.
Aromatherapy
Scent is a powerful way to evoke a sense of hygge in your home. Use natural scents like lavender, cinnamon, or vanilla to create a soothing environment. Consider using essential oil diffusers or scented candles to infuse your space with these calming aromas.
Connection and Togetherness
Hygge is best enjoyed with friends and family. Host small gatherings, dinner parties, or game nights where you can connect with loved ones in a warm and inviting atmosphere. Sharing laughter and good company is an essential part of the hygge experience.
Creating hygge in your home is not just about interior design; it’s a mindset and a lifestyle that prioritizes comfort, coziness, and well-being. By incorporating warm lighting, comfortable textiles, and mindful moments into your daily life, you can transform your home into a sanctuary of relaxation and contentment. Embracing hygge not only improves your living space but also enhances your overall

(Call now!!)
As summer wanes and we head into the crisp, cooler weather of fall, it’s the perfect time to give your home a touch of autumn magic. Especially if you’re listing your home for sale, now’s the time to create a Fall vibe that any potential buyer would love. Our staging professionals share some fun and easy ideas to help you bring that cozy, seasonal vibe indoors.
Let’s Talk Colors! No need for a home make-over…just add some fall hues. Think deep reds, burnt oranges, warm yellows and rustic browns. Swap out your usual throw pillows, blankets, curtains, or even a piece of wall art for something that has an autumnal vibe. These colors will instantly give your place that comfy, fall feel. And guess what? These warm, inviting tones can make potential buyers feel right at home and, even if you’re not listing your home for sale, your family will enjoy the fall touches as the days grow shorter.
Bring A Bit Of The Outdoors In Fall centerpieces are easy to create and so affordable! Grab a bunch of gourds, pumpkins, pinecones, and colorful leaves. Arrange them in a cool bowl or on a tray and add some candles or fairy lights for that extra cozy glow. Display your masterpiece on a dining table, coffee table, or wherever you want to make a statement. This easy project not only adds charm to your home but also gives potential buyers a taste of the warm, welcoming atmosphere they can expect.
Think Textures and Textiles
Swap out those summery fabrics for warm and fuzzy materials like flannel, wool, and faux fur. Dress up your sofa with throws and toss pillows in autumn colors. Not only will they look inviting, but they’ll also keep you snug on those chilly evenings. Our stagers know that cozy textiles can make your home feel more inviting and make buyers more likely to linger and imagine themselves living there.
Set a Fall Table
Take your dining experience up a notch with autumn-themed table settings. Grab some rustic tableware, linen napkins in fall colors, and seasonal table décor. This attention to detail can make your home feel inviting and appealing to potential buyers.
Cozy Aromas
When we close up our homes against the autumn chill, indoor odors can become more noticeable. A deep cleaning is a great place to start. A scented candle (we like cinnamon, apple, pumpkin spice, or woodsy aromas) add a subtle scent. And a bowl of pretty, autumnal potpourri adds both visual and olfactory delight. Our stagers caution home sellers to be judicious about adding too much scent as it could lead potential buyers to think you are covering up some unpleasant odors. Less is more!
Bringing autumn vibes into your home is all about embracing the season’s natural beauty and creating a warm, inviting atmosphere. You don’t have to go overboard – just throw in some warm colors, cozy fabrics, and a dash of nature-inspired decor. And the best part? These tips work even when you’re staging your home for sale. By making your home feel cozy and welcoming, you can help potential buyers see it as their future dream home. Get creative, and let your home become a cozy haven for this wonderful season, whether you’re staying or selling! And if you’re thinking about selling, let us help!

Click link above for a downloadable PDF of this newsletter to learn about the strong connection between home staging and appraisals.
