furniture: Lacking furniture for a key selling space? Reuse & repurpose what you may already own - 02/23/09 08:14 PM
As a Professional Home Stager, I always recommend when selling that it's important to have furniture in every key room. Key rooms include all main living areas, kitchen and master bedrooms.
Vacant rooms are very difficult for buyers to visualize and often leave them sorely lacking in terms of connecting to the home.  
In some cases understandably sellers have not gotten around to furnishing key spaces for lack of time, funds or desire to choose something - it happens! However when selling it will pose a problem should a key space remain empty.
Some key problems with vacant spaces are:

furniture: Smooth move - How I staged 2 houses in less than 1 month using the same inventory - 09/20/08 08:56 AM
A unique home staging opportunity presented itself in the last month and if I tried to chronicle it here in detail it would be too long for you to care to read.

furniture: Houston meets Dallas at the SIF North TX Roundtable Hosted by CORT Furniture - 01/12/08 05:00 PM
Thursday, January 10th I had the pleasure of moderating the first North Texas SIF Roundtable discussion for area stagers held at the CORT Furniture Conference Center in Irving, TX.  Although there were only 10 in attendance, we were able to gain valuable insight and learn from each other's varied experience.  For those that couldn't make it you missed an awesome event but we hope to do this again sometime later in the year.
I am thrilled with how well our discussions went and how wonderful all my colleagues are in the staging profession in Dallas, TX and beyond.
