North Vancouver Home Staging - Lower Lonsdale "Before & After" Photos

My Vancouver Home Staging Company, Exit Stage Right, was very happy to stage this vacant townhouse, located on Lower Lonsdale in North Vancouver.  The location for the townhouse is fantastic, situated only one block from the Lonsdale Quay Market, and a quick Sea Bus ride away from downtown Vancouver.  Everything is within walking distance.

North Vancouver Home Staging-before & after photosThe townhouse itself looked pretty stark, bare, and uninviting with no furniture, colour or life to the property.  The beige walls and empty, cavernous space was not very appealing to a young, urban professional or couple, who are looking for a certain lifestyle.  Enter Exit Stage Right!  Alright, I will admit that I will be traveling off to Paris this weekend, and was perhaps influenced by the excitement my future trip holds.  I couldn't help myself.  I went with a Euro-Parisian theme.  Can you spot the Eiffel Towers?!!  To me, there are many parallels between this townhouse and an apartment you might find in Paris.  Because Lonsdale Quay Market is so close, you could very easily shop for fresh produce every day of the week, just like the Parisians.  Also, around the corner are some wonderful bistros and restaurants, including Italian, Greek, French (!), Japanese, Irish and British/Canadian fare. 

By adding a little "ooh la la" to this townhouse, we are able to capture the sophisticated buyer who is looking for a little slice of Europe in the heart of Lower Lonsdale.  Of special note: the townhouse right next door is also for sale.  The owners of that townhouse have not staged their property property for sale.  It is slightly bigger, with a higher price tag than the $750,000 for this townhouse, but it will be interesting to see which property sells first.  I'll keep you posted on the developments. 

Here are some more before & after photos:

Julie - I knew that you of all people would appreciate the Eiffel Towers.  Unfortunately, the design is lacking in "cloches", but maybe the next stage will have a cloche or two.  Thanks so much - Paris here we come!

Anna - I was originally thinking of doing a black & white design, but I couldn't help myself and had to add some colour!  Yes, you have a very good memory.  My birthday is at the end of September, and it's one of those horrible birthdays with a big, fat zero at the end, so I figured Paris should be now!

"Ooooohh La La" to say the least!  I couldn't even type at first as I was so busy picking my jaw off the floor!  LOL  Just kidding!  I am not the least bit surprised at the sexy, sophisticated, luxurious and stunning look you have put together in this condo!  That blue is absolutely an eye stopper!  Eiffel towers?  In one of your spaces?  He he he, I always have my eye's searching for those!  Incredible work as always Sally.  I hope you have a fantastic time in Paris.  Take lots of photo's!

Hi John!  Oh, you tease.  Come on - what's the name of your new cat - did he come back, by the way?  Sure hope so.  You are always such a huge staging supporter - we Stagers really appreciate that.  Congratulations again on joining RE/MAX, I know you'll do well!

Shar - Ok, the townhouse sold, so we're now moving the stage to an apartment on the 15th floor, owned by the same Seller.  This time, there's an incredible view of the ocean, so the blue glass will tie in beautifully.  Yes, I'm going to have to fly down to Minneapolis to collect that spoon - great minds think alike!

Oh now that is just way tooo "Ooooo la la", but I am not at all surprised!  Are you going to be able to get that done before you are off to Paris?  How incredibly exciting!

Laura - In the end, the other apartment sold before I could get to it!  It has an amazing view of the ocean, so no surprise.  I staged another condo this morning instead - took half the day, then I went shopping this afternoon and am packing tonight for the flight tomorrow!  What fun!
