Hexagon house Before & Afters...by request! (Sold in 8 days)

By
Home Stager with Apostle Art Home Staging & Design

By request, here are some more photos of the Hexagon house that sold in 8 days!  By the way, I forgot to mention in the initial post that this home sold for almost FULL ASKING price...(just $1000 under list)

Homes that are unusual can often be a hard sell as buyers think resale. While this home was cute, it had pie shaped rooms that were quite small. Apparently the home had been on the market previously without much interest. Apostle Art staged and the rest is history!

                      This was your view upon entering...odd shapes aside...another bland vacant.

            

                  You can kind of see the angles in the dining room...even more awkward in person.

           

In the shot below, you can see how I had to angle the couch out so it would not look as odd as if I followed the wierd angle of the walls. By the way...I did not recommend the peach trim and white walls...we always make it work though!!

                   

The bedrooms were ridiculous as the corners were 45 degree angles and the rooms were really small!

 

                                       The wall the bed is on below is only about 4 feet wide!

          

 Who knows how long this home would have sat without staging...90% of buyers cannot visualize the space...throw in pie shaped rooms...impossible!! We always love a good challenge and we believe ...

                                                                                                  ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE!!!!

Valerie - You did an outstanding job of working with this space! You are truly gifted and have great vision! I can only imagine how long this house would have sat when empty!

Thanks Shelly. Staging is so much more than just making things look pretty...it's about solving problems and making things work!

Valerie: I really like how you made the dining room flow seamlessly into the family room area. That 4 ft wall would definitely be challenging for most buyers - nicely done!

OMG - fantastic!!!! Well done, Valerie you totally rocked an impossibly ugly, unattractive nutcase of a house that now looks charming, full of character, in harmony with the landscape and all the other cock-a-mamie stuff the builder/architect said at the point of sale!

I can't believe you remembered me after all this time.  Thank you.  I can see you have a fun career ahead of you.  Go for it!!

There are several homes like that in my market as well as some round houses. One of the round houses has a round living room with a built in sitting area and a round bed in one of the bedrooms.  Someone will see it and just have to have it.

Odd shaped rooms aren't so bad if they are large but a nightmare if they are small!

Juliet...you are unforgettable!!

Valerie-  Amazing transformation!  You did a great job, and saved the seller a lot of time on market.  By the way, didn't even notice the peach trim until you mentioned it, so again, job well done:)

Wow!  What a challenge!  This house would be a nightmare for buyers to visualize furnishing!  Great, no outstanding, work!

I think I have a crook in my neck from looking at all the angles in the photos.  You did a wonderful job of solving this puzzle.  Well done.  Juliet above said it all.

Here is another angle of the "Master" Look how close the end of the bed is to the wall. If we had put the bed on the wall to the left you would not have been able to even put a small table and lamp because there is a door right there. There is also a door to the bathroom where I am standing so there are not many options here...did I mention it SOLD??

You are an absolute staging goddess! Amazing! Bravo! Love it! What a great example of how staging shows proportion. I would have been scared to stage that house but you made it work and sell! KH

Oh my! You are a staging queen! I find fireplaces in the corner or on an angle to be so hard to stage!! You did an amazing job! Hats off to you!!
