Amen! Any other option is just shooting yourself (and your seller's) in the foot.

Jo, This is such a great return of this room to its original purpose. What a cool way to carry off this staging. I love your strait forward thoughts and explanation. Thanks!

I have a two bedroom vacant condo in older age group, and I'm trying to decide whether to make it a bedroom or study, they only have one living area.  It could be either.

Cindy, I think you need to consider the overall floor plan and the demographics of the prospective buyer.  If there is not another space for a study, I would consider making it a study.  If the room is large you could put a nice writing desk and an occasional chair to show that there is sufficient room to make this a second bedroom as well.

Thanks Yvonne.  We like to keep cost in check for children's rooms and find simple is best!

Jo: Cute! I like what you did to turn this room back to its original purpose. Regarding Cindy's question, I would say make it a study/guest room with a day bed and a small desk. Its not a particularly original idea, but potential buyers always respond positively to it. It lets them see the room for 3 different uses - as it is shown, as an office or as a bedroom. Et voila!

No doubt this room works better just as you staged it,  a bedroom.    (the seller must like bold color - -maybe someone else will go for it too)    :)

Connie, I have to admit that the photo brightens the actual color a bit.  It is similar to Porter's Endive.  I have to say it actually works well as a child's room color in that it is truly gender neutral...fun flowers or the geometric primary color we have used both work well.

Nice work.

Nice work.

Nice work.

Nice work.

You are absolutely right!  Great points!

What was that - ohhhhh it is a bedroom.

I see Terrylynn is getting her evening comments in.

Nice, Jo.
