Sorry For The Absence…Business is BOOMING!

I have been out in the trenches over the past months and haven’t taken the time to edit photos, update blogs and add more before and after photos to the website. Shame on me! Before and after photos are HUGE and I need to be at it!

This beautiful home had been on the market for almost a year without offers.

The owner updated honey oak cabinets with an ebony stain, changed out all the hardware on the doors to an oil rubbed bronze, refinished floors, removed wall paper and added tile to bathrooms.

It had 2 offers in 5 days after staging and going back on the market. Now that’s “proof in the pudding” that staging a vacant house is how to get a fast sale!

If your house has been vacant and sitting without offers, then you may want to consider having it professionally staged. Bids are FREE and the results are successful!

Give me a call and let’s set something up,

RECENT STAGING JOB IN THE WELCOME COMMUNITY
PART 1

This was one of the most enjoyable jobs that I’ve had in a while. This house belongs to friends of mine, that I’ve known most of my life. I drive by this house everyday and it’s located in a great country setting with acreage, beautiful landscaping, barns and pasture. There is a great community spirit in this area and when the home owners called to have me come stage it, there was no hesitation on my part. They love antiques and have a great deal of collections and most of them are on display, as you can see in this before photo. Although having their belongings surround them makes this house their home, these smart homeowners knew that this style of decor would not appeal to everyone and knew that changes needed to be made.

Large rooms such as this, can be intimidating for a buyer to imagine how to decorate and arrange furniture. Once most of the furniture and extra accessories were removed, we set this room up with different sections. As you can see in the after photo, there is a entertainment area, a game table area and a reading nook, that would make a great place for a piano or music area. It’s a family room in the truest since. Family members can all be in the same room, participating in different activities and still be together.
