One of our favorite vacant home stagings in Portland ... Before & Afters

A repeat client contacted me recently and asked me to view his latest project, a stunning new contemporary home in a premier Portland OR neighborhood, and provide a proposal for staging it. Last year we staged a couple of nearby homes for this client and they sold quickly. Because his homes are known for their stunning design, high quality materials and attention to detail, I couldn't wait to see it. As professional stagers, we really appreciate when everything is done "just right."

I dropped by this home after staging a nearby house to take photos for my staging proposal. As soon as I drove up the driveway I felt the excitement of this property, set apart on a hill with a great view of a forested area. I walked in the front door and immediately noticed that all of the doors and cabinetry throughout the home were made of exotic African Sapele wood (part of the mahogany family) -- and every door was 8 ft high.

The seller knew that buyers would relate much better to this home if it were staged so that they could imagine living there and enjoying all of its unique features. The great room has soaring windows about 30 ft high .... and dramatic architectural features that are found throughout this 3,800+ sq ft home:

WOW!! I can see why this was your favorite! It is stunning and so is your work Maureen-you two are quite a winning pair! Stellar work!! Exceptional!

You described it perfectly Maureen - Dramatic and stunning. Your staging has enhanced the beautiful features of the home while adding warmth to the space. Great staging and photos!!

The home is awesome but the way you staged it makes it seem so "homey"....I mean it's a house you can really "live" in and relax...

Incredible, Maureen. These after pictures are beautiful as is your staging.

Congratulations. Your home staging is being featured in the group Staging Before & After Pictures.

Kathy

Wow. This is so good it should be on TV! Great job!

Cathy ~ You know when you walk into a home and it just has a reallly good "feeling?" This home has that! Thanks for your kind words.

Michele ~ This home does have a lot of drama ... we loved staging it!

Chanda ~ Oh that is great to hear, we wanted buyers to feel they could move right in and feel comfortable ... thank you!

Kathy ~ thank you for the feature! Re the photos -- some are mine, some are a professional's (theirs are better).

Ellen ~ Very nice of you to say -- thanks!

Maureen, That must have been a FUN project, it's an amazing home to work in. You did a wonderful job in warming it up and making it truly spectacular.

Maureen, this was nicely done!

You did a lovely job making it warm and inviting. I think it would have been a hard sell, as a big empty box it felt cold and uninviting. The colours you selected did a nice job warming the spaces. I really like the artwork you selected as well I fell it draw me into the space. Nicely done.

Carole ~ How did you know? This home was so much fun to stage! It just felt right from the beginning and then everything came together. I wish all my staging projects could be like that ....

Lisa ~ Thanks for stopping by and commenting.

Liz ~ I'm glad to hear that you found it much warmer staged than empty....me too. Selecting the art is always a bit challenging and then when it's right it just clicks. P.S. Love your new photo!

Maureen, the feelings that this house brought out in you will surely strike a chord with buyers, too. I am predicting a very quick sale and lots of repeat business with this builder!

Kathy ~ I like your crystal ball! Thank you for your HELP with this project!

Another fantastic job Maureen. I'm glad you had so much fun on this one. I love the sparkle of the accessories and the warmth you gave all the staged rooms. I can't wait to hear about the multiple offers this house will undoubtably receive.

BEAUTIFUL! I love the "framing" of the lighting in the bedroom - nice touch!

Wow... I can see just why it was your favorite ;) Love what you did in the master with the frames behind the lamps... very cool.

Kate ~ Thanks .... I hope there will be a quick sale for my client!

Laura ~ We used an extra sham from the bedding to create those frames ... just framed the fabric and it made a nice backdrop for the lamps.

Lori ~ The fabric in the frames behind the lamps was just enough to add color and interest ... glad you liked it!

Maureen - What a fabulous home and your staging really shows off it many features. Another example of staging being the icing on the cake!

Wanda ~ many thanks, that is a nice way to put it .. and now I'm hungry! :-) This home does have many fabulous features and we tried to emphasize them in our staging.

Beautiful job, Maureen! I can see why you enjoyed this project! Love everything you did. You kept it simple, but refined, elegant and liveable! I know people can "see" themselves in this home. Should be no problem selling this stunner quickly!

Jennifer ~ Thanks! I love staging that lets the "house" be the star, and the staging merely helps it look its best. The seller is very happy with the outcome.

SEP

Maureen...Jennifer's "stunner" said it! Can a stager/redesigner covet high ceilings and great windows all being set-off by your outstanding staging? WOW, again!

Ginger ~ Those great room windows are just really spectacular, especially considering the lovely view. Thanks as always for your comments.

SEP

I love the house. The bathroom has an incredible spa feel.

James ~ Yes that is one gorgous bathroom! The floor is travertine and the black tiles are marble. Thanks for your feedback.

Wow Maureen, this looks awesome, wonderful work! Simple, elegant, clean lines love it.

Barbara ~ thanks for stopping by with your nice compliment....much appreciated.

Aloha Maureen,

That art really matches the sofa perfectly along with the area rug, well done!

Peace,

SEP

WOW!!! I can see why it's one of your favorites, you did an amazing job. When can I move in???

Kimo ~ I'm glad you think so, isn't it find to find pieces that work in the space?

Chrissie ~ Hey I'd like to move into this lovely house myself -- Thanks for your comment.

Thanks David. This home is just yummy!
