Redesigned Spaces ~ Cynthia Bartch ~ Home Staging Blog in Georgia

I was contacted by Bill Weidmann of Atlanta's award winning Weidmann Remodeling & Renovation  to inquire about staging some 'after' photos for their portfolio.

While quality materials and superb craftsmanship are the bones of a room, it's the finishing details that give it a warm & fuzzy feeling in person and in photos.

 

I was thrilled to say the least because I was well aware of this company's solid reputation. Then to be working with professional photographer Jan Stittleburg (located in Atlanta) was the icing on the cake. Ooh... I'd hope to sneak-a-peek through her lens, think she'll let me? Just maybe I'll be able to pick up some useful tips like how not to get my hand or derriere in the shot! Ooh-la-la indeed!

After I asked for some construction photos (pictured below) I delved into my stash, & packed up the truck. I was really looking forward to staging the photos for this Remodeler's portfolio.

Now on this particular job I was not to hide all the beautiful finishes and craftsmanship that was put into this job with accessories. Restraint was the name of the game here. This tile had three different finishes and was gorgeous! After all, this is what the Remodeler wanted to highlight, the craftsmanship! I was there to enhance the photos with a little warmth. No art was to be hung on the owner's new walls.

 

 

            

 

The above two single photos and the detail collage were photographed by the talented Jan Stittleburg. And yes, she did let me peek through the lens. I can't wait to work with her & learn more from this talented lady!

 

Well the above photo collage of close up details are my doing, sigh...I need to sneak more peeks into a professional photographer's lens.

Well at the end of the photo shoot Weidmann's Remodeling & Renovation's client was thrilled too, she thanked me for all the great ideas, a win-win for all involved!

Yeah, I drive my husband crazy with "Hey take that turn!" right after we've passed a sign.

And driving him even crazier with "Turn right...no the the other right!" Luckily he understands my non-directional brain and laughs it off... well most of the time.       

 

 

 

 

 

Will Cyn ever learn her left from her right in my lifetime?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We were just motoring around in the beautiful North Georgia Mountains at the end of our goof-off day and I spotted the Tallulah Gorge State Park sign in Habersham County, Georgia. Even though it was at the end of our road-trip, my Ted pulled a U-ey and we went back to check it out.

 

 

Whoa now... did the sign read 'Gorge' and did I mention I'm kinda afraid of heights?

 

 

 

Below are a few photos I took from the top of the 1,000 ft. Tallulah Gorge. Spectacular doesn't even come close to describing the view. The trail we took was made of recycled rubber and it's extremely easy on the knee, hip and foot joints! Nice :)

There's a visitor's center with great information about the history, wildlife, and surrounding area of Tallulah Falls and Gorge. Inside the center you will find informative attendants that will help you determine which trails are best suited to hike concerning your ability and health status. People of all ages were on the trail!

 

 

 

 

 

These magnificent granite walls form some pretty steep cliffs!

 

 

 

 

 

 

What a serene feeling you get taking in natures wonders on this perfect day.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ahhh..life is good here in the North Georgia Mountains, 85 degrees today & low humidity!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Remember the prehistoric creature I mentioned in the title ? Well here it was lurking on the nearby trail... check it out below for yourself.Yikes!!!

 

 

 

 

Ok, ok so it wasn't a creature, only a stump with some moss, but it did catch our eye. Pretty cool looking huh?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Well I couldn't leave without taking a picture of some flora.

 

Can anyone identify this flora below I photographed on the trail? It has characteristics of a of hydrangea.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Lots to do in this area only sorry we didn't have more time. Ted and I hope to go back in the fall! Check out the links below for more information if you plan to visit! Now git out there and have some fun!

Tallulah Falls is located on Highway 441 an hour and a half northeast of Atlanta. Well that timeline all depends on the traffic here in Atlanta ya know ;) Take I-985 north which then feeds into 365 north, Highway 23, and Highway 441.
