Staging For Less Is More

Hi Robert, dingy white really is boring isn't it.  You have great weekend too:)

Hi Claire, thanks, Texas would be a bit of a drive!

Hi Cynthia, yes the same place, and a small budget. I was and still am jonesin to get rid of the foyer light!

Hi Michelle, those mirrors make it so hard to take pictures, I am not such a great photographer.  What was worse for me were the pink tiles in the hall border and the entire floors of the kitchen and guest bath.  Hard to minimize and was not in the client's budget to remove.  

Hi Kathy,

Actually the levelors are hidden behind the panels.  The client had no money to replace them and it was not practical removing them because of the heavy hot sun that would beat in if they were removed.  Now they don't have to be seen always and there is the choice to completely close the blinds or move the fabric panels back and forth depending on the angle of the sun.  The real pain was making a rod that long and fitting brackets over them.  My panels ended up being 5" short and required adding a border.  One of my going wrong moments!

Hi Cathy, that's the fun of our job, spreading magic!

Hi David, thanks for commenting.  Low budget jobs are great learning experiences, I learn something new everytime and they are what make our job interesting!

Hi Michelle, spray paint and a staple gun are a Stager's BFF!

Hi Sally, thanks.  The headboard really made a difference didn't it?   Very easy to do and cost under $20.  Painting the interior of front entry doors is one of my consistent Staging habits.  I think it always adds a great punch to any house.)

Hi Julie, those window treatments were a PAIN.  The bedroom ones were purchased at Target.  When we got them up on the rod, because the pockets were sewn uneven they hung weird making the rods look sloped.  Didn't have time to run them back, loved the shimmer in the material too so we fixed that with scotch tape:)

Hi Cindy, thanks for stopping by, hope so!

Hi Wendy, thanks:)

 Thanks Amy, it is so hard sometimes to convince a client to paint and yet it is one of the easiest and least expensive changes with big impact!  Have a great day:)
