SUBTLE CHANGE... & POP!

By
Home Stager with UPSTAGING YOUR HOMES

THIS WAS A SIMPLE CHANGE I MADE IN THE OWNER'S KITCHEN CABINET AS I WAS SEARCHING FOR TREASURES TO USE IN OTHER ROOMS.

CABINET

NOT BEING A FAN OF SAME BESIDE SAME, I LOOKED FOR SOMETHING TO MAKE THESE BEAUTIFUL DISHES POP

 

I DIDN'T HAVE TO LOOK FAR AT ALL TO FIND PIECES TO WORK WITH THESE DISHES AND GIVE THEM A NEW LOOK

 

WE ALL HAVE SIMILAR SCENARIOS IN OUR HOME: SOMETIMES IT JUST TAKES NOT PRE-JUDGING AND JUST TRYING DIFFERENT LOOKS AND SOMETIMES IT TAKES A FRESH EYE

 

THAT IS WHAT STAGERS BRING TO YOUR HOME WHEN YOU CAN'T SEEM TO GET THE LOOK YOU WANT - GIVE IT A TRY!!

Sharon,

Wow what a difference.  I love the color contrast.  Your job must be really fun, especially when you have home sellers that are open to suggestions.

Gary,

Yes, it is a lot of fun when home owners and sellers are open to the difference re-design and staging can make.

Sometimes it is a simple as this one; while other times, it is a long renovation project like the one I am just completing now which I have been working on since June.  The realtor and home sellers are thrilled with the improvements (I have posted some of the pix) and their selling price climbed over $30K, more than it cost them for the renos.

Thank you for your comments.

Sharon- I loved the way the orange just made everything "pop".  Sometimes what we need is right under our noses (or in a cabinet!)

I love that color!  Great addition!  I really enjoy going on treasure hunts in people's cabinets and they are always so surprised at what I do with what I find.  It's probably the most fun part of the job!

Small change with a big reward.  Adding the orange cup really captures your eye and gives it a more up-to-date look.

Sharon,

It is always nice to hear from you.   I won't annoy you by telling you I am responding from my hotel room in San Diego and will be boarding our cruise ship in a few hours to head to sunshine.   I will be snorkelling in Cabo San Lucas on Tuesday: what are your plans?

Don't shout, I can hear ya!!!!

Hi Michelle,

It's the details that we see and the homeowners don't that makes the real difference - our FRESH EYES!!!

Thank you for your comments.
