Staging makes a difference! |
|
Here are some real-life examples of listings I have staged. |
|
|
 |
| Pottery Barn look achieved on a budget! Tired oak cabinets were updated with a cherry stain & nickle knobs. Light fixture and shower head were replaced. Original burgandy & yellow wall tile and blue & white floor tile were brought together with a hip, new, striped shower curtain. Cost: $400 |
An otherwise updated kitchen was marred by 1970's linoleum. Buyers would have not seen the updates, only the "work" that needed to be done. Laminate flooring was all that was needed to make this kitchen feel completely renovated. Finish those projects! This house sold in 2 weeks while two similarly priced houses, on the same block, were on the market for several months! |

Make the most of awkward, open spaces with furniture placement. Couch was moved to open to the dining room and make the most of a previously ignored fireplace focal point. |
A plain, dated room can be made warmer by removing old carpet to reveal hardwood. |
|
|
|
|
Remove kitchen clutter and accessorize with beautiful bottles, modern accessories and bright fruit. |
Paint and new light fixtures can make a room stand out. Clean out and organize china cabinets. |
|
|
|
|
A new peel-and-stick floor, hip paint colors, retro light fixture and chrome accessories transform a ho-hum kitchen into charming retro-style. |
Flowers and fruit "pop" in a de-cluttered white kitchen. |
|
|
|
|
New paint, light fixture, faucet, candles and towels add "Pottery Barn" charm to a dated bath. |
Flowers, new homemade linens, pretty bottles, beautiful cookbook and matching accessories make a kitchen stunning! |
|
|
|
|
A very dated kitchen is brought back to life with new flooring, new light fixture, new custom stove (largest expense), under cabinet lighting, new cabinet knobs, fresh white paint and fun accessories. Buyers actually commented on the "new" kitchen. |
A 70´s bath is given a spa treatment with new linens, fun paint finish and modern accessories. |
|
|
|
|
Cluttered storage space under the bench is concealed with a piece of fabric and velcro. New light fixture and accessories give a spa feel to this bath. |
Made the most of an extremely small living room by arranging furniture to allow a "foyer" and a walkway. Couch and chair were switched to open the space to the front door. |
|
|
|
| Neutral paint color, pretty vanity jars & soaps, matching rug, shower curtain and linens and a painting found in the basement warm up a large bathroom. Cost: $75 |
A bright bath gets pulled together "South of the Border" with accessories & linens found elsewhere in the home. Cost: $0 |
|
|
|
| A bachelor's empty living room is made more appealing by pulling furniture and accessories from other parts of the house. Cost: $0 |
Angling the furniture, removing a tattered couch and pulling charming accessories, like the stacked suitcases, from other parts of the home, make this living room more inviting and seem larger than it is. Cost: $0 |
