			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Another dose of inspiration came last week when a friend suggested I look into <a href="http://www.theinterioritycomplex.com/">The Interiority Complex</a>. Located here in Austin, The Interiority Complex is pretty much the end-all-be-all of staging and affordable interior design solutions in our area.</p>
<p>Since looking into them, I&#8217;ve fallen in love. I think their mission is right on and aligns with the way I try to approach design:</p>
<p><em>Interiority Complex provides creative, affordable and eco-friendly design services and products. We believe that creating a beautiful space shouldn&#8217;t break the bank, or the environment.</em></p>
<p>For those who aren&#8217;t sold on staging &#8211; The Interiority Complex states that 90% of the average population can&#8217;t visualize the potential of a room. For some of us, this statistic is hard to believe &#8211; It was for me when I first heard it! But I reason that it&#8217;s only because those of us  interested in homes can already see the possibilities of a blank state. In fact, for most of us, the blank canvas is more exciting. Below are a few pictures of our house when we purchased it. Although the house wasn&#8217;t staged, the previous owners did lighten, brighten and de-clutter.</p>
<p>The Living Room&#8230;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-large wp-image-238  aligncenter" title="Picture 008" src="http://www.corarodenbusch.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/Picture-008-491x327.jpg" alt="Picture 008" width="491" height="327" /></p>
<p>&#8230;And Dining Room (and Will!):</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-large wp-image-240  aligncenter" title="Picture 007" src="http://www.corarodenbusch.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/Picture-007-491x327.jpg" alt="Picture 007" width="491" height="327" /></p>
<p>Staging can become large and exhausting, but I like the way The Interiority Complex lists out their simple <a href="http://www.theinterioritycomplex.com/Home-Staging">staging tips</a> and <a href="http://www.theinterioritycomplex.com/Media">videos</a>! I would apply them even if you weren&#8217;t on the market. It&#8217;s just simple, common-sense and could be applied before the holidays when guests and family are coming over:</p>
<ul>
<li>Lighten &amp; Brighten</li>
<li>Clean &amp; De-Clutter</li>
<li>Landscape &amp; Trim</li>
<li>Plumbing &amp; Electrical Repairs</li>
<li>Paint Interior &amp; Exterior Walls</li>
</ul>
<p>Still working on the art of de-cluttering, but here we are now&#8230;</p>

<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" title="IMG_9572" src="http://www.corarodenbusch.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/IMG_9572-327x491.jpg" alt="IMG_9572" width="327" height="491" /></p>
<p>I also appreciated their take on <a href="http://www.theinterioritycomplex.com/BlogRetrieve.aspx?BlogID=4975&amp;PostID=92039">outdoor staging</a> &#8211; Take a look at how you can improve your curb appeal.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Check them out and if you like them you can subscribe to their emails &#8211; I get them and love &#8216;em!</p>
