Hey everyone, do you remember my first staging consultation of 2008? Probably not, but I thought I would remind you.....LIZARDS and RATS and GOD knows what else was lurking in the cages....ahhh, yes that does sound familiar, right?? Well in case you forgot, here are the befores to remind you...
With alot of hard work both on the part of the homeowners and my team at ReStyled to Sell, this room was transformed from storage room and menagerie to.......
A room that every little girl and her "friends" could call HOME!! I can hear it now...mommy, mommy can this be my room??
Here is what had to take place BEFORE this room could be staged to sell.
First, the pets needed to find a new home. The sellers were happy to see them go, afterall they belonged to their married daughter. Once she found a new home, so did they. Then the furniture was either discarded or put into storage. The old carpeting was ripped out and replaced with new flooring and finally the room was painted a crisp linen white.
Just look how the sun pours into this room. This wonderful window seat was being hidden under the animal cages and the built in cabinets and bookcases were nowhere to be found. The sellers were so thrilled with the room when it was complete. They each got a bit nostalgic as they looked around the room, remembering all the wonderful memories that took place there while raising their daughter. Sellers I can never stress enough how important it is to rid each room of clutter, pets, old carpeting and dirty walls.
Yes, this room was not an easy task, but in today's competitive market it is important that EACH ROOM be shown to it's fullest potential. Put yourself in the buyer's shoes for a moment and ask yourself which room you would rather have your child sleeping in? The bedroom before or after it was staged?
Staging shows buyers HOW the room should look and NEVER leaves them guessing. So before you list your home to sell, call on the services of a professional home stager. You'll be glad you did!
