Staging A Home For Sale

Happy Labor Day!

I hope everyone is enjoying their day!  

I wanted to share a home I recently helped to stage for selling..we all like before and afters.  The before pics are from when they had put the house on the market prior to the recent update we did. 

Before

Living room..so sorry for the grainy pics.

The rooms we focused on were the living room, dining room, kitchen, breakfast area, master bedroom and bathroom.

After

Living Room

As you can see decluttering was a must.  You can really get a sense of how big the space is.  We kept her existing furniture and just bought some lamps and put the mirror on the opposite wall to make the room feel bigger when you walked in.

Another view.

From the staircase

Dining Room.  No more red paint.  We put the table in a different direction..got new chairs for the head sides of the table, curtains, mirror, pendants, art, and centerpiece.  Most of all decluttering : )

Brightened up the kitchen..removed the light with the fan.  No one wants a fan over an eating area inside.  Your food will get cold.  New chandelier, curtains and plates on the wall lends to an informal eating area.

 

Kitchen lighter and doesn't feel so drab.

  

New carpet for bedroom

Painted tile surround around tub and art for the walls.

If you would like to see more of this house go here..

Good Morning!

 How are you enjoying this Monday?

I am excited because this week the pre-bid meeting for the contractors will be happening on a commercial design job I will be doing.  More on that later : )

With our busy schedule and coming up with design solutions for our wonderful clients I can't forget about our house and the tlc that it needs : )

In an earlier post you can see the before pictures of my son's room.  It was important for me to have his input..after all it's his room and he needs to be happy.  Now I will say..I still need to get his bedding.  Those blankets are just there for the time being.

The carpet I won from Shadow Mountain from a giveaway on Facebook.  They were just at High Point Spring Market.

My son told me he loved blue and that's what he got : )

He likes to spend time outside with Daddy doing rugged activities so the lantern was a must and it makes for a great night light.

Captain America is his favorite.  The painting with the red and orange he created and wanted it hung in his room.  The picture above is a painting from Newfoundland where my husband is from.

Another love of his..dogs.

Football is another big thing .. quality time we all spend together.  Chicago Bears,  have to support the home team and ..

the Philadelphia Eagles from where I grew up : )

 the little train my daughter made for him.

Now onto prepping my laundry room for paint.

Hope your week is full of beauty : )
