Tranform the look of your home TODAY through proven Staging
& Redesign methods taught by a true Expert and Pioneer,
Dana J. Smithers. It's easier than you think!

Dear Homeowner,

Are you the type of person that likes to do things themself so that you know it's done right? If the answer is yes, you're in the right place, so keep reading. Hi, Dana J Smithers here, founder of the PRES Home Staging and Redesign training program. When I first created the PRES training program I was fulfilling a need for people looking for a new and exciting way to make a living through Home Staging and Redesign. And I'm happy to say it's been a big success!

Although there are still those looking for that type of training, I have begun to sense a much different need – quick, affordable Home Staging and Redesign training for people (like you) who just want to use these important skills for themselves. Maybe you want to get your home ready for sale so that it sells quickly and for top dollar. Or maybe you just want to spruce up your living space so you can truly live in style! I understand.

Up until now though, the only way to gain the skills of a professional Home Stager was to take an intensive 5 day training course. Now, there's nothing wrong with that – you'd certainly learn a lot – but it's over kill right? I mean, it's a great course but the PRES 5 day course was designed and created specifically for people who want to do Home Staging and Redesign professionally, as their main career. If this is you, then please click here to visit our other website.

But for those of you who just want to learn the skills of Home Staging and Redesign to apply to your own home, we have a quicker, easier and more cost effective way for you to learn...

And that's what this website is all about! Sun On My Back Redesigns is dedicated to women and men just like you who want to learn how to create a beautiful home for themselves! Since the beginning of time we have been 'nest builders' and over the centuries our homes have become one of our biggest investments, monetarily and emotionally. While the outside world seems chaotic and out-of-control we can control and create our own 'safe havens' that bring peace and beauty into our lives.

Your Home Is a Reflection of You!
Do You Love What You See?

A home is many things to many people – your sanctuary, your playground, the heart of your family or even just a comfortable place to sit and relax.

But regardless of how you use your home, one thing remains true... every home can benefit from Home Staging and Redesign. Being able to decorate your home like the pros is truly a special gift!

Now you may be wondering if learning Home Staging and Redesign is for you? Well, to help you find out, I've created a short list of questions you can ask yourself.

Ask yourself these questions...

• Would you love to know how to change the look of your home in just one day, using your things without spending a dime?

What Is The Difference Between Home
Staging And Home Redesign?

Now, you may be wondering what the difference is between Home Staging and Home Redesign is? The answer – not much difference, actually. Both disciplines use the same set of skills, but with a completely different end result in mind.

Essentially Home Staging is used when you want to prepare your home for sale. You set it up in such a way as to be most appealing to potential buyers, so you can sell your home as quickly, easily and for the highest dollar possible! After all, the way we live in our home is not always the best way to sell our house.

Home Redesign is used to enhance your home's living space using your existing furnishings, or sometimes bringing in a few new pieces. Think of it as anything from a minor visual touch up to a comlpete home makeover!

But that is just a quick overview. Let me give you a little more detail about what is involved with each discipline...

Home Staging is a HOME MAKEOVER for SELLING. It is NOT PERSONAL. It involves: Using some, all or none of your existing furnishings - you may need to rent to create the 'right look' Enhancing the best architectural features of the home - inside and outside Creating inviting rooms with a clearly defined function Creating comfortable seating arrangements Following the 'Golden Rule' of 'Less IS More' with your furnishings Painting in neutral colours and accessorizing with trendy accents colours And most importantly, creating broad buyer appeal for your target market

Home Redesign is a HOME MAKEOVER for LIVING. It is PERSONAL. It involves: Using almost all of your existing furnishings - you may choose to purchase a few new items. Repositioning your existing furnishings to create a whole new look in just one day. Creating inviting rooms with a clearly defined function that works with your lifestyle. Repositioning furnishings and creating comfortable seating arrangements with great traffic flow. Using your art and accessories to personalize your space and create vignettes that are 'all about you'. Showcasing your collections and treasures to reflect memories of your life. Updating the look of your home to reflect who you are now.
