25 Comments on This Ain't Your Mother's 1950's Rambler! Home Staging and Redesign in Minneapolis, MN
Another beautiful presentation!
Hi Shar - Fabulous work! thanks for sharing your grea before and after photos here! Well done.
What a beautiful looking home, and you did a fabulous staging job Shar! Those floors and the open floor plan is really appealing, and should be a QUICK SALE!
Shar, I must admit, I have a listing of a new construction with a difficult layout that COULD use staging, however, I gave the seller an offer last night and seeing he was so stuck on his unrealistic number, I fear nothing would work! However in most cases it would and I see the benefits as you presented them.
Now that's a home that is going to sell in a snap! Beautiful job; you and the owner
PS - that back splash of glass tile is exactly like the 1880's marble I have around my fireplace downstairs. Upstairs, in the master bedroom, the marble cut is the same but the colours are green and burgandy! Everything old becomes new again.
Shar, I love old houses getting revamped! That's what we did to ours! and just recently I redid our backsplash with a similar mosaic! Great photos, as always! I have to take the time to take before pix when I'm doing a consult...
Shar - That is one sexy backsplash! I love the repetition of the pattern in the rug with the pattern in the cushions. It's the small details like that that catapult your work into a higher level. Beautiful work!
I had a client who had renovated a similar home. They are so wonderful after they open them up. Great job Shar!
It's so hard to believe this home is from the 1950's. What a beautiful job they (and you, of course) did! I love the backsplash!
There was a lot of innovation in 50s housing - that's finding new appreciation today! Well done, Shar!
Shar--the contractor did an amazing job with the renovation; and, you, of course, did a phenomenal job with the staging. Love the feel of the house after you staged it.
Thanks for all the wonderful messages. I was reading them while I was staging another vacant today and they kept me motivated!
Thank you Kristine. The furnishings did add a little wow to the empty space.
Thank you Cinnamon.It was icing, perfect analogy as the contractor had done a wonderful job and it just needed the pretty stuff.
Thank you Christine!
You are welcome Judy. Thanks for stopping by.
I hope it is a quick sale Joan! And thank you.
Ellen, a difficult layout needs staging more than ever! I hope he changes his mind.
That is so cool Susan! I would love to see a picture of it. I bet it is beautiful and to know it is that old, wow!
I don't take before pics before a consult either Peg. I never usually get to see it finished with my suggestions until it is on MLS.
Catapult, love that word Sally!Thanks for noticing the details. And I so agree on that back-splash.
Thanks so much Janice.This house use to have the cellar type stairs going to the basement and it was great the contractor took the time to open them up.
Thanks Sharon. It is a fabulous updated home.
You are so right Julie! And thank you.
Thanks Janet.The contractor and I will pat each other on the back. LOL
Shar - You always do such beautiful work. Your right the contractor did a great job but you finished it!
I especially love what he did to the kitchen and your staging was the icing on the cake.
Just gorgeous, Shar - what a difference, hey?? Great job!!
Another great set of before and after pics - and it is Sunday and I am looking for some reblogs. Good work!
Thank you so much Shelley!
Isn't the kitchen cool Susan! And thank you for the kind words.
Thanks so much Emily.
Great! Thanks Gene.
Update....I got an email from the contractor today. The house sold almost immediately and closes on June 11th!! Yippee! Doesn't surprise me.
Hi Shar, I seem to remember reading a stat once that empty houses take approximately 16% longer to sell and usually sell for about 10% less than an occupied home. Does anyone have up to date figures on that aspect of selling a home?
Seems you have waved your magic wand again and created a simply inviting home. I can see a buyer wanting to move right in. Love the cozy effect you have created by that fireplace.
