<p style="text-align: left;">As professional stagers we are often asked by homesellers to assist in deciding the advisibility of removing wallpaper. It is not inexpensive to remove wallpaper. However, if the goal of homestaging is to assist in making a listing appeal to the broadest number of prospective buyers then how can we skip this critical step?</p>

<p>We are often working with empty nesters and individuals that have decided to turn their homes' bedrooms into other more creative spaces. In a home that is owner occupied this can become confusing as the inventory of spaces to match the family of a prospective buyer gets jumbled by other purposes for these spaces. It is often inexpensive to turn a craft room, a second office or even an empty space back into a bedroom. It is important for 2 reasons:</p><ol><li>If the room borders on small the addition of a bed and a simple nightstand will give definition to the space availability.</li><li>If the home appears short on bedroom space for a large family, it is an easy and direct way to convey the number of rooms.</li></ol><p> <img title="Design To Market After" src="http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/8/2/8/8/0/ar12017513708828.JPG" height="239" alt="Design To Market Before" width="258" /> <img title="Design To Market " src="http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/3/1/4/6/5/ar120175149256413.JPG" height="299" alt="Design to Market" width="400" /> </p><p align="left"><strong>This bedroon was staged by Design To Market </strong><a href="http://designtomarketllc.com/portfolio.html" title="design to market" target="_blank"><strong>home staging in Cincinnati</strong></a><strong>.

We are seeing a significant increase in the number of clients that are proactively approaching the staging investemt decision and are looking at the best way to maximize their staging spend. One solution that is working for these clients is a conscious decision to leave key furnishings that they can live without on an interim basis but that can save the seller on the rental investment involved in staging a vacant home. For homeowners moving close by this can be a very wise decision.</p><p>We have found that when we are brought into this process in the early stages we can provide guidance about the best pieces to leave and can then propose the most economical and attractive solution that merges our inventory with the look and feel of the homeowner's "leave behinds." </p><p>Overall, the most effective way to explore this option is to call the stager before your move is finalized and work with them to develop the best strategy for a "partial" move and to then enjoy the benefits of a well-planned staging implementation!</p><p>Home Staging Cincinnati <a href="http://www.designtomarketllc.com">www.designtomarketllc.com</a> Jo Potvin 513-265-0952</p> Mason Condo: One Year On The Market Enter Design To Market LLC and Home Sells in 21 days!http://activerain.com/blogsview/158393/Mason-Condo-One-Year2007-07-27T23:06:26ZDesign To Market Home Staging Cincinnati Jo Potvin (Design To Market LLC)
