Staging the "Almost Vacant" Lynnwood Home

By
Home Stager with Staging Seattle, King & Snohomish Counties

Last week we staged this partially vacant home near Alderwood Mall in Lynnwood.  The homeowners had just moved to a beautiful new custom home and left some furniture behind.  We used the existing furniture as part of our staging plan, but we also wanted the home to flow seemlessly, blending the style of the homeowner's items with the staging items we brought in.  Here are the results:

Living room before staging:  Good start, but we need to add some color here.

Living room after staging: 

Dining  room before staging:  The large mirror suggested a more formal style.

 

Master bedroom before staging: 

Master bedroom after staging:  We used the same color scheme in the bedding as we used throughout the entire house.

Guest bedroom before staging:

Guest bedroom staged:

Breakfast nook and family room staged:  The only piece that was in this space when we arrived was the black bookcase, which was near the fireplace.  We moved it to the breakfast nook and warmed up the family room with color, pattern, lighting, artwork and plants.

Glad you asked, Larry!  We staged this house last Monday (April 5) and as of yesterday (April 13) the house had two offers, one full price, which the sellers accepted.

Diana, incredible before & after shots.  The home was nice, but boring beige is anything but exciting.  Love the shots of colour you worked into the space.  I'm not surprised it was purchased so quickly.  Congratulations!

Congrats on the quick sale! & the Staging much such a HUGE difference!  I kept going back-and-forth on the first 2 living rooms shots wondering if they repainted. It just added such warmth!

WOW!!  Beautiful work.  I had to look twice at the first picture.  I thought you painted the room.  It's amazing how staging a room, makes the positive features pop!!  GREAT JOB!
