Most staging projects wind up with dramatic differences.  It's why we all take, and love to look at other people's, Before and After pictures.  Here's a project this week - one of 5 homes that had to suddenly be rushed to market this week and next. (mainly for job relos) - where the day I had to photograph was dark... so the staged photos don't look as dramatic as the transformation really was.

A simple house, with a lovely porch, huge deck and nice backyard, this 5 BR is split into 3 floors as a 3 and 2.  Narrow, but with lovely high ceilings and period detail. One of those awkward diagonal fireplaces though in the Living Room. How I do hate those!

The real fun for me with these pix is that the homeowners understandably had nowhere else to put a large piece of furniture and so they blocked the window.  This had the added benefit of then not needing curtains.  But when you go to sell, your windows are one of each room's assets; they need to be shown.

Same with the sink in the Master Bedroom. It may not be terribly useful as is, but it's still an asset. And the more I think about it, the more I realize I should have used it to create a morning kitchen!!
