Before and After pictures

Home Stager with Ready Set Stage

Hello,

I had the sweetest lady call me and wanted some help with her home that has been on the market for 18 months.  She and her husband have separated and she didn't have a lot of money to spend.  I went over there and together we started re-arranging furniture and accessories.  I brought a few of my own accessories to add to help her out.  I think it turned out nice and I hope we can help her sell her home.  Here are a few of the before and after pictures.

 

Before the family room had a busy rug and childrens toys that were distracting.  We needed to add some height and brighten it up a bit.

We moved the couch in front of the big window and moved the seating area to the opposite wall.  We brought in a cream carpet to calm the room down and added some cream pillows to the couch to brighten it a bit.  We also added a tall tree in the corner to bring in some height and a coffee table to bring the room together.

Here is another view of the room

Her master bedroom wasn't bad, we just moved the a few pieces of furniture and it looks great

She purchased a kitchen table and we moved the larger table that was in the kitchen and put it in the dining room.

In the master bath all I did was add a red towl and a picture.  It makes such a difference.

Very nice Chrissie! For some reason the stagings I do for the ones who really "can't afford it" are the most gratifying!

Sometimes you just need to give the home a KISS (Keep It Simple Staging) =)  Looks great!

All it takes is an objective eye and a willingness to change and try something new.  You have great staging talent and she was very smart to have called you.  Thanks for sharing your photos.

It has a much more calming feel, that rug is really busy.  Great job!

Good call on the rug. When I first looked at the picture that was the first thing my eye went to. Nice job.
