8 Comments on Staging in Seattle Rain: $1M Phinney Ridge Craftsman
Diana - We share the same weather as you and I just woke up to snow this morning! I'm assisting a stager with a home about 45 minutes away, and I'm dreading the commute. No one can drive in this fluffy, white stuff!
The home you staged looks lovely. What a fantastic view, too. Great job.
Hi Diana ~ What a beautiful Craftsman! Your staging really made it inviting and showed buyers how they could live there. The photos are stunning, too.
I know what you mean about offloading staging inventory in the rain .... not fun!! If there is snow or ice (rare few days a year in Portland) we have a clause in our contract that allows us to resume staging once it's melted :-)
Great location right in my neighborhood. I'll be sure to pass it on to people I know. Good thing the snow wasn't too bad today. More snow due on Sunday for the Open House! Great thing is if it's not snowing -- we will be having some great vistas, as it's been cold which makes for some clear views from this location looking over Ballard to the Olympic Mountain Range. I'll be sure to check out your beautiful staging. Not much for sale on Phinney right now, so this might go quickly!
It turned out beautiful, Diana. I love how you used the windows as the headboards as the scenery is breathtaking.
We had light flurries here in Atlanta on Friday as I de-staged a home. On Monday, for a staging, we had lightning, thunder and hail. Wasn't pretty. Staging in the rain (not Active Rain, smile) is a pain. I can only image what it was like for you staging this home on one of the rainiest days with that much inventory. But... you managed, as always, to work your magic. Nicely done.

Oh my, Sally, I hope you and the crew were safe yesterday driving through the snow!
Maureen, thanks for stopping by to comment. Yesterday's weather had us unloading the truck in "slush" - wet snow :(
Kim, Phinney is a wonderful neighborhood, you are lucky to live there! Thanks for passing the word about this listing :)
Kathy, It's always exciting to stage in "severe" weather, isn't it? Thank you for your kind comments! Looking forward to sunny days ahead!
I saw the house today and it was very well represented. You did a great job staging, very low key so everyone could focus on the great job the builder did, and I have to say the listing agent did a great job as well. It looks like he got a wonderful turn out on a somewhat snowy (but not bad) day! A class act all the way around!
Thanks so much for the feedback, Kim! Glad there was a good turnout for the open house in the snowy weather. There were 11 different paint colors used in that house and we really tried to blend the staging in each room to enhance the colors, architecture and the purpose for each room. As you noted, successful staging focuses on the house, not "the stuff".
Update on this home: SOLD! We unstaged this past weekend and thankfully it was not raining :)
