This dining room in a home we staged in Cincinnati shows a perfect example of the potential to leverage the best aspects of a space and turn it into a true WOW! factor in a home. A simple coat of paint and new carpet set the stage for updated furnishings and a successful sale!

Wow what a difference! Before you coudn't see anything not even the table. You really made the room neutrual so that anyone can imagine living there.

Michelle, Thanks for the feedback. We have found that in many cases it is a good idea to remove window treatments. If they are custom window treatments, and in good condition, we often place them neatly in a storage area so that they can be re-hung if the buyer likes them. It is often difficult though to stage around a style that might not have broad appeal to prospective buyers.
The furniture is different also, isn't it? What a transformation, the drapery was so outdated and heavy. The room looks wonderful

Phyllis,
This is different furniture. We actually renovated the home for the client and then staged it with our furniture. The photos below are from the bathroom in the same house. Jo
You are right BUT...sometimes it is not that easy...wallpaper that is relatively neutral, in good repair, high quality and well installed can be the exception to the rule. If it is at all possible for us to work with existing paper we do because it is expensive to remove. I will say though that is not often the case.
Jo,
Your rooms (and your team's) look great!! So much better! A question I have been running into with wallpaper, maybe you can answer -- If it has been installed when the home was built, then often the wall was left un-textured underneath. When you remove the paper - do you have the wall textured or do you just paint right on the untextured walls? Thanks! Great post!
