We were asked a little over three weeks ago to go in to a house which had been listed for over 90 days without selling and do what we term as our "blossom" package. Basically that includes 2 hours of our time and a set amount of merchandise - and we usually go into the house sight unseen. It's a great pick me up for houses which aren't selling and not expensive either for agents or home owners.

For this particular property we moved furniture, took down family photos, de-cluttered and added splashes of color to otherwise bland rooms. The agent Loved it and is sending us into another stale listing early next week ..

Well we just got word this week that 13 days after staging, the house sold!

 I do have pictures - on our Facebook Fan page for Rooms in Bloom. I just can't seem to upload them here so if you would like to take a look, here is the website:

My apologies, I will get better at this!

The pictures on facebook are impressive. Sometimes we need to look at homes with someone elses eye. Thank you so much for sharing your ideas.

Heather how cool. What a great testimonial for your services. I will say I enjoy going into homes more that have add some touches versus completely bare bones.

We seem to get asked a lot to help a home "blossom", especially if the home owners are completely against doing anything to make the house present better.

I guess it's the old adage .. a little something is better than nothing!
