I staged a house last week in Flemington, NJ and one of the nicest features of this house (there were many) was the wonderful Master Bedroom with a fireplace that warmed you up at night when lying in bed, but a fireplace that you could gaze at while soaking in your large tub.

When I first arrived for my consultation this feature was hidden and there was nothing that really drew your attention to this area. With a few simple touches and carrying the same color scheme throughout both rooms, this fireplace now screams...Come and relax after a long day at work!!

The first thing we did was use a sleigh bed from the Louis Philippe collection, courtesy of American Furniture Rental. It gives the bedroom a formal, regal feel. We purchased a new lamp and placed artwork over the bed for height. We placed a black wrought iron scroll over the fireplace which now draws your eye to the fireplace. A small bench found in her entry foyer was placed at the foot of the bed.

We kept her bedding and used her curtains in the bathroom to keep the theme. We added new towels and used the tiebacks from the curtains to wrap the towels. This also kept the theme in the space which ties the two rooms together. Previously the client used black in the space and had large baskets and plates hiding the fireplace view. We just added small simple candles which don't compete with the fireplace.

The client went wild when she saw this new space and could not believe it was her house. She wanted to buy the furniture because she loved it so much. Now that is the reaction you want to hear from buyers when they enter your space.

WOW, I LOVE THIS! I WANT TO BUY THIS HOUSE! STAGE IT AND LISTEN TO THE RAVE REVIEWS!
