Before/After Vacant Home in Illinois

Before/After of vacant home in Illinois. Although many updates were made in this older home, prospective buyers found it hard to visualize its potential.

Family room before staging

Prior to staging the painting technique felt busy and cold. After staging even the fireplace looks updated.

The house looks so much more "homey" when it's staged. It says, "Come in and stay awhile!" Great work!

Michele the staging really makes a difference in the appeal of this home. The red accents in every room really pop! Would love to see a picture of the dining room. Thanks for the post. Betty

Michele,

Very beautiful job! I love it.

Michele I'm going to send you a email, I have some clients that want VC'S (verbal Consultations) up in Rockford but it's a good 1 hour 20 minutes one way for us, perhaps we can talk about a referral system?

Thank you Michele

Great Staging and really good looking "after" shots as well. Hope the realtor did as good a job as you did with your pictures!

Janis - Thank you. The Realtor took awesome shots with her wide angle camera. I am excited to have just purchased one myself, but I did not have it when I took these photos. Happy to hear you think the shots turned out well.
