Occupied homes are a very different challenge than staging a vacant property. While not as much inventory is needed, the stager's challenge requires more flexibility and creativity. I love working in an occupied home for just that reason, it really gets my creative juices flowing, using the client's own possessions in a new way, with a fresh eye that takes the individual owner out of it while attracting many more potential individuals as buyers.
Replacing some pieces to bring in some color, interest and balance to this beautiful Lafayette living room was the first step. Removing the too personal family photos and making sure the replacement artwork enhanced the furniture through its color, subject matter and placement was the second step. Arranging the furniture and accessories to bring your attention to the fabulous fireplace, windows and glorious backyard was the third and final step to creating the lifestyle selling opportunity we always seek in our staging.

Joanne, you created a warm, inviting atmosphere which was very lacking in the before photo. You have a good eye!
