Via Connie Tebyani, Platinum Home Staging Los Angeles to Santa Barbara (Platinum Home Staging, Inc., Los Angeles to Santa Barbara):

Function, Function, MULTI - Function is key in acheiving this.

As more and more Sellers are living in their homes while they are on the market it is imperative that every piece of furniture chosen to Stage the home is multi - functional.  Many Sellers have children, infants or even pets still in the home which need to be taken into consideration.

One of the hardest things for Sellers to do is to ensure to keep the home show ready at a moment's notice.  In this tough economy, telling a potential Buyer to give you 24 hours notice to view your home may be detrimental to actually SELLING.  In other words, that potential Buyer may just move onto the next house and never come back.  A simple solution to helping keep children's toys, pet beds, clothes, shoes and the like off of the floor in ten minutes flat is to have functional furniture in the room.

A great example of this are these ottomans or benches with built in storage.  Functional as additional seating, functional as a coffee table (with a small tray) functional at the end of a bed in a bedroom: but most functional when the doorbell rings of that potential buyer.  Because they have STORAGE, you can easily toss all of those unsightly little rattles, blankets, stuffed animals, chew toys, pet beds, shoes lying around, etc in a flash and the Buyer will think your home is clean and clutter free.

Platinum Home Staging, Inc.Platinum Home Staging, Inc.Ten minutes after that Buyer has left, everything is still handy to continue your day while playing with your loved one on the floor.  Still "living" in your home and keeping it tidy while trying to sell doesn't have to be a headache.  Call a Professional Home Stager or Organizer in your area to help you find the best deals. 

Platinum Home Staging, Inc. does Staging, and SO much more! Even if you're not selling your house, why not make it look like a model home? Call Platinum Home Staging, Inc. for an Interior Design Consultation at (805) 553-9952 Our Staging and Interior Designs are Platinum!

 

I read the article below from This Old House about single women home buyers. I thought it was interesting and wanted to share it with you.

http://www.thisoldhouse.com/toh/article/0,,1199217,00.html

I am in the process of developing a DIY blog for women. As I mentioned in my previous post, I have become a consultant for TomBoy Tools and am I passionate about helping women with DIY projects and feel the blog will complement the tools and toolkits made for women by TomBoy. If anyone is interested in authoring blogs for Womens DIY projects let me know. Once I get the new blog site up and running I will post the URL.

10% of my proceeds from the sale of TomBoy tools will go to Deserving Decor, a non profit helping homeless families in Southeastern PA.

TomBoy Tools for Women

 

Are you familiar with TomBoy Tools for Women? Ergonomically designed tools created especially for women. Have a ladies night with a TomBoy Party! Anyone who uses tools from a screwdriver or drill to a mitre saw will love these products. And your husband won't steal them!

It is also a great way for stagers to earn extra income during slow times. I would love to sponsor anyone who is interested in becoming a Consultant for TomBoy Tools.

TomBoy supports Breast Cancer by donating a portion of the sale of their pink tools and also supports non-profits by providing 20% of sales to 501(c)3 charities. A lot more fun then selling magazine subcriptions and helping other women in the process!
