This article has me looking at my floor in a new light.
I’ve always had a thing for patterned floors. I think they remind me of my travels and how different patterns can have different meanings. It’s fun to think of the floor as an accessory that helps to bring furniture alive. We’ve seen a wide range of floors in the sneak peeks, but today’s Best Of is a look at some fun alternatives. — Anne

Christian Audigier Chops With a Catch, LA Archi-Photos, Live ActionLA Noire
HANCOCK PARK: Rhinestone tattoo art aficionado Christian Audigier (he’s the guy behind Ed Hardy) has chopped his Hancock Park house for the second time since listing it a year ago, but there might be a catch. In October 2010, Audigier was asking $8.299 million; he yanked the house off the market almost immediately, but relisted in May 2011 asking $8.265 million. Now he’s gone all the way down to $7.65 million. BUT there’s no longer any mention of that Rolls Royce Phantom 5 that was previously included in the listing. [Redfin]

Home staging in Los Angeles – Seller Benefeits (from The Consumer Guide to Real Estate Stating by Real Estate Staging Association)
- Professionally staged homes present and show better than competing houses for sale, including new construction homes and higher-priced houses.
- Staged properties will sell faster when compared with houses that have not been staged. From the date of listing until the day of closing, home staging
shortens this time frame, even in a slow real estate market. - Staged properties can increase the number of offers and selling price in hot markets.
- Buyers view professionally staged listings as “well-maintained’.
- Buyers’ agents recognize that professionally staged listings are “move-in” ready and are inclined to show staged properties.
- Photos of professionally staged listings look better on the MLS, as well as in
print. - Professionally staged listings “STAND-OUT” in prospective buyers’ minds.
We (Real Estate Staging Association) studied 97 homes previously on the market on average 181 days before the homeowners gave up trying to sell on their own and called in a professional home stager. Those same homes were staged,
relisted and sold on average in 60 days after staging. This is 67% less time on the market.
