NH Home Staging FAQ - What Can I Do Before My Staging Consult?
A Home Staging consult is generally two hours. Obviously, the stager can accomplish more in that time frame if the seller has done some prep work.
There are several things you can remove ahead of time, and save the stager from having to address them at the consult.
Trash, donate or prepack:
all personal photographs
all religious items
all political items
all trophies and medals
all weapons
all taxidermy
all collections
anything with child's name
all personal documents (framed diplomas, degrees, awards, certificates)

NH Home Staging FAQ - How Much Does A Staging Consult Cost?

NH Home Staging FAQ - Why Should I Replace The Light Fixtures? - 05/26/12 08:27 AM
NH Home Staging FAQ - Why Should I Replace The Light Fixtures?
One of my favorite improvements is updating light fixtures. Most sellers and agents are surprised when I suggest replacing the lights. The impact a light fixture can have on potential buyers should not be underestimated.
It's one of those subtle, subconscious messages a house sends to buyers....
dated, cheap, or worn fixtures devalue the house.

New light fixtures make a house feel cared for … (19 comments)

NH Home Stager's Fast & Easy Cabinet Makeover - Dry Brush Technique
I recently transformed some cabinets to give my laundry room a new look, and I was pleasantly surprised at just how easy and FAST the project was.
Those of you who follow my blog know that we just moved into a house that "didn't need a thing" and yet I keep finding things to improve and rooms to transform.
The laundry room was ok. It had wire shelves that I knew I wanted to replace "some day" but for now the only expense was going to be buying … (36 comments)

New Hampshire Home Stager Product Review - The Xtend & Climb Telescoping Ladder
I rely on product reviews from consumers when I'm looking to purchase. It's helpful to hear the pros and cons from someone who has used the product, so....
When I find a great product, I like to share it with others.
My latest "great product" is the Xtend & Climb ladder. My husband bought the ladder for access to our attic. Our new home only has an opening to the attic, no drop-down stairs. He wanted a ladder that's compact and easy to store since it wouldn't be used … (26 comments)
