UPDATE AN OLDER HOME WITH UPDATED ACCESSORIES MAKES WORLD OF DIFFERENCE

By
Home Stager with HOME STYLE AND STAGING LLC

Recently I was contacted ( through Active Rain ) by a seller to stage her mother's older home. I did the walk thru, make the presentation, and got the job for "Vignette Staging".  The home is older, but has some very well done upgrades. Even with the upgrades the home is still an older home. I decided to place more modern accessories in the home just to see how it would go over. I spoke with the Realtor  today and she had an open house the next day and everyone loved the staging. She feels that this really helped to show the house, even with an older home, you can use newer furniture and accessories. Several wanted to buy my chairs !!! I had thought that the buyer for this home would be a young couple or single person so I was leaning my staging toward that kind of buyer, and I think that it is going to work. Knowing the market and having an idea of what type of buyer that may be interested in the home helps in staging and what kind of furniture and accessories to place there.

I like what you did.  In the Hemet - San Jacinto market we may be dominated by new contemporary homes but our core is loder homes including some Victorins that date back to the 19th century.

Good Job!

I agree that it's important to use some modern pieces, whether furniture or accessories, if the home will likely to have a younger buyer. I like those chairs, too! Do you find the vignette staging to work in most cases? I haven't used that yet, because I had some concerns about it's effectiveness. It must work for you...

Great job Mary Lou. I want to buy your chairs too! I love staging on a budget. I get a lot of vacant staging jobs that way.

Mary Lou, Great job.  You know, when I took my Staging training, they seemed to stress vignette staging but I find here in South Florida, our clients want more model home staging.  I think it was a great idea to use modern furniture in hopes of attracting the younger buyer.

Hey my chairs are a hit !!! They were also the hit at the open house...maybe I should just buy up some and start a new business selling chairs...I loved them when I saw them, just had to have them.

The vignette staging looks great! And yes, the chairs are a hit -- if you need a side job, shopping is a good gig for you. Let us know when it sells.
