Leslie Olson Interiors, Marin Home Staging

As promised in my recent blog Staging an Eichler-Designed Home in Marin - Before and After Photos - Part 1, I'm including additional before and after photos of this Upper Lucas Valley home in San Rafael, California designed by prominent architect Joseph Eichler.

The original post featured before and after pictures of rooms surrunding the central open-air Atrium of the mid-century modern Eichler home. This post shows before and after photos of the four bedrooms in the house, as staged by Leslie Olson Interiors of Marin County.

Before staging, the vacant Master Bedroom hinted at possibilities, with outdoor space beckoning. But unfurnished, prospective homebuyers would quickly sum up the empty room and move on.

Before, the Master Bath seemed unexceptional.

After staging, the Master Bath harmonizes with the Master Bedroom. Natural light from the skylight illuminates the space.

Additional bedrooms staged in this four bedroom home now compliment the architecture, and emphasize the indoor-outdoor spaces. Before staging, Bedroom #2 had an open view to the open-air Atrium, but while vacant had no warmth or personality of its own.

Staging transformed the room into a serene Guest Bedroom, enhanced by the Atrium view.

Vacant Bedroom #3 showed potential with natural light, but wasn't inviting to future homebuyers.

The newly-staged "Girl's Room," as the original homeowner referred to it, now shows its own personality.

Finally, Vacant Bedroom #4 looked tired, indeed.

Spunky modern bedding, lighting and accessories enliven this now contemporary bedroom.

Leslie,

Very nice staging work here!  I like the design of the floor to ceiling windows and sliders in the bedrooms as well, it really gives the sense of being apart of the outdoors!

Thanks so much, Michelle! I love all the windows and sliding doors too. In addition to all the natural light, it's great to get the cross-breezes going on a beautiful day.  I appreciate your comments!

Leslie - Great shots and great staging.  Everything looks great.

Hello Fernando! I must confess, I'm a complete bedding junkie.  Which means that as a stager I spend many hours ironing! Glad you like them -- thanks for your comments!

Wow, Debbie -- thanks for brightening my day!  I appreciate your kind words. This was such a fun project to work with -- I'm ready for more!

I am impressed with your photo style.  You have an eye for angles and a way of shooting a room that is really appealing.  Nice work.

Wow -- thanks, Sharon! In the past I've used professional photographers whenever possible (generally the Realtors I've worked with hire them for every listing). But these shots were using my own very modest skills...can you say "luddite?" While I wince at looking at my own photos, I will say that just a bit of tweaking after the fact can help a lot. I'm famous for making crooked shots that make the room look like it's sliding into a sinkhole. But the software correction for that is so simple, and makes a huge difference. Also, judicious cropping helps -- sometimes you find something interesting buried in a shot that was unintended, but works when the image is cropped. I still recommend professional photographers when possible -- and at the very least getting to know your camera and photo software. I'm very much in the learning stage -- thanks for your positive feedback, Sharon! *BLUSH*
