From the desk of Lisa Shipley:
We know from our personal experiences, that people buy based on feelings. Whether perceived, or real, they are buying a “way of life.” Most buyers make a decision about a house within 15 seconds of walking in the door. Sure, they have a list of “must-haves,” but the real truth is when they see a home that gives them that “wow” — they want it, and they want it NOW!
As experienced Home Staging professionals, Imagine Interior Finishes & Home Staging connects people to spaces. Think of our company as an extension of your “sales team.” The message here is that first impressions are very, very important and we will help you put the best face on your home. Look through our showroom gallery and throughout our website. Then, give us a call or drop us a note, we would love to hear from you.
From the desk of Lenny Shipley:
Imagine Interior Finishes & Home Staging will work with your imagination to create infinite possibilities. We will breathe new life into your home or office with warmth and color, and increase the beauty and value of your home. Creating the perfect mood for your escape can easily be achieved by design ideas that bring inspiration to your home or office.
Lenny and Lisa
have combined their individual talents to pursue a shared vision — helping homeowners connect with their home and accomplish their specific goals.
We are passionate about the quality of our work, and determined to exceed your expectations while providing “picture perfect” results. The inherent relationship between Interior Finishes and Home Staging, along with the prospect of working together as a couple, created a natural opportunity for the Shipley’s to join their individual careers.
For Lenny, the vision began when he received his degree in Fine Art. Along the road to realizing his goal of becoming an entrepreneur, Lenny worked in the corporate world as an Operations Manager in the field of transportation and logistics. In spite of a successful career, Lenny’s heart belonged to the world of art; realizing the way to make a difference in his life was to make a difference in the lives of others. “When you do what you love, it becomes a gift to the world.”
Nurturing his talent and interest in decorative interior painting, Lenny continued his professional training at the Seattle Architectural Finishing Studio and Chromatix Fine Architectural Finishes, all in preparation to launching Imagine.
Lisa's sense of beauty, eye for proper placement, and intuitive knowledge of color has expressed itself through an award winning career in artistic consulting, with innovative retailers Estee Lauder and Calvin Klein.
Desiring to apply her creative skills to an area of long-standing interest, Lisa decided to reposition herself by entering the growing field of Home Staging. She focused her studies on Home Staging and interior redesign which, in 2008, rewarded her with the Accredited Staging Professional designation. Based on the response she has received from her ever-expanding client base, following her instincts and passion turned out to be a wise and rewarding career move for Lisa.
The natural connection between Interior Finishes and Home Staging, and the synergy between Lenny and Lisa has proven to be gratifying for the Shipley’s and appealing to their customers.
