The sellers of this Rockford IL home were excited to be relocating.  They knew it was necessary to make some improvements before going to market, but were not positive where to focus their dollars.  Their Realtor suggested bringing in Simply Staged Inc. to provide recommendations for improvements and stage the home. 

Simply Staged Inc. made recommendations that would have the most impact, while maintaining the budget.  It all came together with the help/work of the home sellers, painters and handymen.  The sellers were able to leave their furniture in the home while selling.  Michele Hess of Simply Staged, reworked the seller's furniture and brought in all of the art/accessories, etc.  (Coffee/End Tables were also brought in for staging.)

Another team approach involving the seller, Realtor and stager properly preparing a home for market.   Below are a few before photos and a link to the virtual tour showcasing the home after the updates and staging was complete.

Thanks Cathy.  They had great furniture pieces to use, which helped the budget and bringing in accessories and art it pulled it all together.

You are very observant Margaret! You noticed many of the updates.  The best part was we achieved a big impact without a big budget.  Luv that! :)

Thank you Donna - yes, the sellers were willing to do the work and start packing early in order to showcase the home rather than their "things". 

Thanks Linda

Very nicely done, I especially liked that you switched out the LR sofa pillows, so that it wasn't so "matchy-matchy".

Thanks Cheryl!  It really gave a fresh feel to the sofas - then I could just play off those colors.

I love the paint colors and the cute little white table in the kitchen.  A great transformation throughout.  I recognize that office...I've seen many like it!
