One of my objectives as a home stager in Atlanta is to set the home apart from the others on the market; to make an impression and to make it memorable.  Whether the home is located North, South, East or West of Atlanta, the objective is the exact same.

The home I staged today sits in Virginia Highlands.  As described in the link, the name is derived from the intersections of Virginia and Highland Avenues and is made up of 7 distinct commercial villages.  The quaint little shops and incredible restaurants makes this a desireable location for many moving to Atlanta.  It also happens to house one of my all-time favorite restaurants called Noches which features spanish and southwestern tapas.  And no, unfortunately, they were not open for lunch.

Here's a picture of the living room before we staged:

Lovely, Kathy.  Would you call that pink plant pot the wow factor in the room?  After last night's show, I've looked around every room today wondering... do I need a "thing" that has a wow factor in here?  If I did, what could someone consider it to be? <chuckling>

It always amazes me how easily one's perspective can be changed...

You've created a pretty, stylish home.  Well done.

On another note, do you tag your photos based on a keyword search?  If you do, which tool do you use to identify those keywords in your particular market?

Kathy - Great Job!  What camera do you use?  What are your secrets to photography?  Amazing transformation...no comparison to the vacant, this is what buyers expect to see.

Hey Kathy - Lovely!  I haven't written much on AR lately; been really busy with lots of stuff.  I had to comment on yours though.  Looks like you're still going strong. Great job!

Thanks, Karen!

And Bill - I'll definitely keep on blogging (smile).

Thanks, Juliet.  I've used several different tools to ascertain what key words to use in tagging my photos.  I'm consistent with the description; which describes the picture being posted.  I'll use Home Staging Atlanta After Picture (or before picture).  As for the tag, I'll try and mix that up as best I can within the same blog. 

Debbie - I use a Nikon D80.  I also bought a wide-angle lens and a flash which attaches to the top of the camera.  Those two things have helped tremendously.  As for secrets to my photography; 1) take a lot of pictures.  2) take a lot of the same room using different angles 3) get on your knees or... stand on a chair 4) I use Picasa to help with edits.  Hope that helps.

Thanks Teresa!

Diane - I'm honored that you made the time to comment.  Thank you.  And yes, going very strong!

Kathy - You have turned a blank wall into such a livable space. I love that artwork over the sofa.

Kathy ~ As usual, beautiful work in this transformation!  Question about your camera:  do you use a tripod for all of your photos?  And, do you use the Picasa free program, or the more advanced one that has a charge?

07/25/2008 12:12 PM by Maureen Bray ~ Room Solutions Staging, Portland OR (Room Solutions ~ Staging that Sells Homes!)


correct staging is vital if you want to sell that home!!!!!!!!!!!

Tanya - It's funny that you mentioned the artwork above the couch.  I had forgotten a curtain rod and had to run out to make the purchase.  I had eye-spied the artwork and thought it would work well.  Thanks for your nice words.

Maureen - I have a tripod but have never used it.  What I've learned to do instead is to hold my breath when I snap the picture.  It seems to work well.  As for Picasa; I do have the advanced program as it was only $25.00 for the year.  All that said, I did not use the advanced program to do the edits.  In summary, anyone can do what I did using their standard program.

Thanks, Barbara-Jo.

Great use of the small sofa table, with barstools.  I've got a house that needs this same type solution...Thanks!

Like your style missy.  Isn't is wonderful how warm and inviting the hard wood floors give to a home?

That's a cool shot of the bathroom...you caught the top of the shower curtain and the adjacent room in the mirror  =)   Ah, so much to catch up on here in the Rain...been MIA for too long!

Lovely photos - beautiful staging! The blend of colors in the posters and floral arragement in the breakfast nook really give that small area so much vibrance. Love the unique bathroom shot- it really catches your eye and highlights the marble and  beautiful chrome work on the sink.
