Never ask a puppy to style your home
A professional stager has an eye for making the best features in your home stand out. By using the things you already have …or not (packing away items that would be distracting to most buyers) or bringing in some of their own elements stagers know how to present a home in its best light. I believe, their skills help" sell a home faster and at the highest possible price."
I know this, because I read about them on Active Rain!
I’m always amazed by the” before” and “after” photos that I see here. It’s still the same bathroom, or living room or kitchen but after staging what was a perfectly good ordinary room now looks like a PERFECT GREAT ROOM- one that a buyer wants to buy!
Every seller could benefit from hiring a professional stager but I definitely would not ever recommend a home stylist like our Josie when putting your home on the market…
….But you should see for yourself and decide:
Josie Says:
“I love the idea of adding texture to a room, so I brought out the shower mat. After a week of having to drag the shower rug back into the great room everyday and even sometimes twice a day, I think I’ve finally won the battle. The owner’s are beginning to see my vision.
In order to visually enlarge the space in front of the shower, I brought the towel that had been placed on the floor in lieu of the mat, out to the great room also - to add just a pop of color.
A few old shoes and slippers carefully placed near the shower mat say ‘Welcome! Take your shoes off and sit a spell’. I want visitors to feel relaxed and comfortable in the space. I think it's a beautiful vignette.
The plastic bottle and toys that I like to play with add a touch of whimsy, as well as the label from the plastic bottle that I’ve shredded and artfully scattered in a random pattern around the room.
One of my puppy friends is coming over on Friday, I KNOW she’s just gonna love what I’ve done with this place!”
